Three oil tankers flying the Liberian flag were hit by projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz

Marisex Marine Risk Management said that unspecified projectiles hit three Liberian-flagged oil tankers as they were transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday.

Here are some details:

* Marisex stated in a report issued late yesterday, Wednesday (September 30, 2026), that the ships were sailing through the strait and their Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders were turned off to avoid detection.

* Data from Kpler Analytics showed that the oil products tanker (Ruwais) was last seen conducting a ship-to-ship transfer off the Omani port of Sohar in late September to unload its cargo of diesel.

* Data revealed that the huge crude oil tanker (Mersin Prosperity) conducted a ship-to-ship transfer off Sohar in mid-September to transfer two million barrels of Iraqi Basra crude to another tanker.

* Data showed that (Sinbad), a medium-sized tanker, loaded refined products at the Jubail Industrial Port in Saudi Arabia in early September.

* ADNOC Logistics and Services, which operates the Ruwais and Mersin Prosperity tankers, declined to comment.

*Anglo Eastern Tanker Management, which manages Sinbad, has not yet responded to a request for comment.
