More Adnoc tankers attacked
The tankers 'Navig8 Messi' and 'Tarif' (IMO: 9828390) were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz on the night of Aug 13, 2026, in the latest round of strikes instigated by Iran in an attempt to reinforce Iranian control of the strait, and the latest in a long string of attempts to halt Adnoc's shipping operations. One of the tankers was hit in the strait during an outbound transit. The vessel sustained only minor damage, and the crew members were unharmed. The UAE foreign ministry condemned the strikes as a "flagrant violation" of a UNSC resolution affirming freedom of navigation, and called Iran's repeated ship attacks "a tool of economic coercion or blackmail" and an "act of piracy." The ministry also reiterated its call for full and unconditional reopening of the strait to all navigation. Both vessels continued on their voyages under their own power. The strikes marked the 17th and 18th times that Adnoc tankers were attacked.
