💨 Abstract

A British maritime security firm, Ambrey, reported that a Panama-flagged, UAE-linked tanker was hijacked about 51 nautical miles northwest of Iran's Bandar-e Jask port. The vessel is believed to belong to Iran's "shadow fleet," with a sister ship previously sanctioned under the U.S. Iranian sanctions program. The hijacking was announced through an urgency broadcast.
