Tanker allegedly on fire after strike
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Sep 17, 2026, that they had struck the 'Trend', after what Tehran described as an “illegal” attempt to transit the Strait of Hormuz outside its approved passage system. The vessel was hit and stopped after a fire broke out onboard, according to the IRGC. The claims have not been independently verified. The UK Maritime Trade Operations separately reported a security incident around 16 nautical miles northeast of Khasab, Oman, although it has not confirmed whether the report related to the 'Trend'.
Master of tanker arrested for not declaring failure of both generators
On Oct 6, 2024, at noon , officers of the Port Authority of Keratsini arrested the 43-year-old Indian Master of the 'Trend' for a violation of article 291 par. 1 (A) and (D) of the P. K. (Dangerous interference with transport) in conjunction with article 43 of Decree Law 187/73 "PERI KDND" (Obligations of Masters). The vessel had sailed to the anchorage of Piraeus en route from Algeria with 17 crew members on board. On Oct 5 it declared a fault in one of its two generators. The Port Authority banned the tanker from sailing until the repair of the damage and the presentation of a class maintenance certificate by the monitoring classification society. During the inspection by the crew of a patrol vessel it was found that both generators were out of order, without informing the Port Authority. A preliminary investigation was carried out by the Central Port Authority of Piraeus, while the ship remained at anchor and a tug went on standby for any assistance. As of Oct 8, the ship remained stationary in pos. 37° 55' N 023° 34' E.
