LPG tanker turned back in Strait of Hormuz
The 'Haana' turned back after being warned against using the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz. The development came as Iran and Oman negotiated a temporary arrangement to restore safer shipping through the key waterway, where commercial traffic remained well below normal. The tanker was attempting to sail through the Oman Corridor of the Strait of Hormuz, but changed course after receiving a warning. No details were given about who issued the warning. No traffic had been seen on the southern route during the previous 24 hours. Iran has indicated that an agreement with Oman alone would not be enough to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC has linked reopening the waterway to conditions including an end to the US blockade of Iranian ports, compensation and the removal of sanctions. The strait handled around 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments before the conflict, making the disruption a major concern for global energy markets.
Medevac from BW Princess off Gibraltar
The Gibraltar Port Authority co-ordinated the successful rescue of a seriously injured crewman from the vessel "BW Pincess" which was anchored on 2 miles east of Catalan Bay on the east side of Gibraltar. The Port Authority’s Vessel Traffic Service received the call for assistance on VHF radio at 09.38 a.m. on May 25, 2011, stating one of their crewmen had fallen 5 metres onto the deck of the ship and required urgent medical attention. The VTS immediately contacted the GHA Ambulance Service requesting medical staff to attend at the Port and be transported out to the vessel for assessment of the crewman. On their arrival the paramedics were quickly taken out to the anchorage by the GPA Port Launch accompanied by a VTS Officer. At 1012 hours the Port Launch arrived alongside the vessel and the medics went onboard to assess the crewman’s injuries. The crewman was stabilised and then transferred by stretcher onto the Port Launch by the ship’s crane, arriving back alongside at the Port by 11.04 a.m. where he was then transferred to a waiting ambulance and taken to hospital where he is being treated for head injuries.
