[Two Super Tankers Hit by Unknown Objects in the Strait of Hormuz] Golden Finance reported that on September 1, maritime security consultancy Marisks stated that two super tankers were hit by unknown objects in quick succession while passing through the critical shipping lane of the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. Marisks noted that the VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) "Sidr," operated by Saudi Arabia's Bahri shipping company, was attacked while sailing northeast of Khasab off the coast of Oman. Meanwhile, the "Senegal Prosperity," operated by Sinokor, was struck by three unknown objects while sailing east of Oman. Marisks stated that both tankers were departing the Persian Gulf at the time. Bahri and Sinokor have not yet responded to requests for comment. Previously, the UK Maritime Trade Operations office reported that a tanker had been hit by three unknown objects while leaving the Strait of Hormuz, but did not disclose the vessel's identity. (Jin10)
