ADNOC Logistics & Services confirmed on November 10, 2026, that one of its vessels sustained damage in an attack inside UAE territorial waters in the Arabian Gulf. Separately, United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) issued incident report 201-26 after a tanker captain reported being struck by an unidentified projectile at 13:38 UTC, approximately 19 nautical miles northeast of Lima, Oman. UKMTO said the tanker's crew was safe, with no environmental impact reported, and that a damage assessment would follow at first light. ADNOC did not identify its damaged vessel or disclose the extent of its damage. Neither organization identified the attacker, and the available information does not conclusively establish whether the two November 10 reports involved separate vessels. A further UKMTO suspicious-activity warning involving a tanker appeared on November 11.
Two Attack Reports.
One Unanswered Question.
A tanker master reports a projectile strike near Oman. ADNOC Logistics & Services separately confirms damage to a company vessel inside UAE waters. Vessel identities and any connection between the reports remain unresolved.
There are two reporting streams and different geographical descriptions. Neither identifies the ship or provides the exact positions necessary for an authoritative match. The reports should not be consolidated into one confirmed casualty or added together as two uniquely identified vessels.
UKMTO receives a tanker-master report near Lima, Oman. Crew safe; damage survey pending at first light.
The company reports an attack in UAE territorial waters. Response teams remain engaged; no vessel name supplied.
UKMTO warning 202-26 reports another incident involving a tanker. Attack classification and damage remain unconfirmed.
Three Strike Reports Near Lima in Nine Days
UKMTO's latest notifications show recurring reported strikes near the Omani side of Hormuz, while fresh reports from the UAE and the Strait itself leave important questions unanswered about vessel identities and attack methods.
Bars represent stated distances from Lima on a common 20-nautical-mile scale. They are not plotted ship positions, incident severity ratings or verified attack coordinates. No conclusion about a shared attacker is implied.
Reports are grouped by publication date. Some were received after the underlying event. Scroll horizontally using either scrollbar.
IMO records 133 confirmed incidents and 25 seafarer fatalities as of November 10. Those figures cover the wider regional conflict and include events involving different ship types and locations.
The November 10 Oman tanker report says no pollution was detected. Reuters separately verified oil contamination associated with other damaged ships near Oman and the UAE.
What Does a Hormuz Security Incident Cost a Tanker?
Test vessel value, hypothetical war-risk premiums, time lost and voyage expenses. Switch to Advanced for charter-party recoveries, no-claims bonuses, off-hire earnings and casualty-related costs.
Additional insurance plus modeled cash costs and, in Advanced mode, any lost net earnings and unrecovered casualty expenses.
Cost and Recovery Bridge
Gross premium and modeled cash outlays before any assumed insurance rebate, charterer repayment or repair recovery. Timing and actual prepayments depend on policy and contract terms.
What a Different Insurance Premium Would Cost
The percentages below are illustrative sensitivity cases, not published current Hormuz quotations. The amounts update for the entered vessel value, insurance placements and assumed reimbursement arrangements.
Where the Modeled Cost Comes From
The live composition bar separates net owner-borne premium, direct delay costs and other modeled casualty or voyage expenses.
Total Exposure Versus Days of Delay
The chart varies delay days while retaining all other assumptions. It does not estimate the likelihood or duration of an actual port, vessel or insurance disruption.
Reference oil cargo value and incident exposure are distinct. The entire cargo's value is not automatically a loss, nor is it income earned by the shipowner.
