Container ship hit by projectile - IMO halts evacuation of Strait of Hormuz
The 'Ever Lovely', sailing south of Oman near the eastern exit from the Strait of Hormuz, approximately 7.5 nautical miles southeast of Dahit with 21 crew members on board, was struck by a projectile, likely a drone fired by the Iran, on June 25, 2026, at around 10 p.m. The attack occurred only a few hours after the IRGC had issued a warning, stating that vessels were only permitted to sail through the northern channel under its control, and followed reports that Iran ordered at least four tankers to reverse course while attempting to transit the strait, which had been stuck in the Persian Gulf for more than 100 days, The UK Maritime Trade Operations received information from the master of the container ship, that it was hit on the starboard side. The vessel had suffered damage to the bridge, but there were no reported casualties. The UKMTO issued an immediate warning to mariners in the area. The 'Ever Lovely', being one of three Evergreen vessels making the transit to escape from the Persian Gulf, was still underway after the attack and exited the Strait of Hormuz, approaching an area near Fujairah. After the attack, the IMO released a statement saying it had decided to pause the evacuation effort, while noting that the vessel that was attacked did not transit under IMO’s evacuation framework. It had, however, temporarily paused its evacuation operation pending further clarity. The sell-off in the oil market came to an abrupt halt, as the incident was highlighting the fragile state of the ceasefire and also demonstrating the risks facing vessels in the Persian Gulf. The market is largely focused on the resumption of oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran reasserted its right on Jund 26 to control shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and warned Gulf states against siding with the U.S. The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted strikes against Iran on June 26, as a response to the attack on thd container ship. with a one-way attack drone. U.S. aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites.
