Collision Sparks Tanker Fires Near Strait of Hormuz

At least three ships, including the oil tanker ADALYNN, caught fire in the Gulf of Oman near the Strait of Hormuz following a collision between two vessels, prompting a major emergency rescue operation by the UAE National Guard. Satellite data and maritime sources have confirmed multiple active fire zones in this vital shipping corridor, which handles over 20% of global oil supply. UK-based Ambrey stated the incident is not security-related, despite initial speculation about links to Israel-Iran tensions. Social media images and satellite heat signatures confirm the fires are recent, although the precise cause is still under investigation. The event has led to heightened shipping alerts and a rise in oil prices. Authorities have not yet officially determined whether the fires were accidental or deliberate.
