Front Altair transports UAE crude to Taiwan and Kokuka Courageous to Al-Jubail (KSA) refined products destined for Singapore.

From @AP Twitter

BREAKING: UK maritime safety group warns of unspecified incident in Gulf of Oman, urges 'extreme caution' amid US-Iran tensions.

An Iranian media outlet is claiming two tankers carrying oil from the Gulf were targeted in the Sea of #Oman, sent distress calls. No confirmation from other sources apart from this warning from UK maritime safety group. Ratcheting up US-Iran tensions. #Breaking #BreakingNews

Front Altair is a loaded tanker on fire and adrift about 18 NM off our position.
Kokuka Courageous has fallen silent. It is not being able to be contacted. Its AIS has also gone off air.

from broker:
qte
M.T Front Altair has been abandoned and its all crew has been safely picked up by nearest vessel Hyundai Dubai.
Master of Hyundai Dubai reported cause of fire on Front Altair as surface attack.

Iran really wanting to get this going, wouldn’t doubt they have nuclear capabilities, so they feel like they’re invincible.

Any speculation on how much oil prices will go up as a result of the attack? Should I start shopping for my F250, Or will it just be a short term spike without enough duration for the 72mt note?

Does Iran not realize how bad we will frick them up?

Or is it just time for a rebuild and some new infrastructure.

The Japanese government said both tankers were carrying "Japan-related" cargo. Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is currently on a visit to Iran. The 44 sailors and crew members of the two ships affected by the incident were rescued by Iran's Navy and are now on the Iranian Island of Jask, according to Iran state-run news agency IRNA, citing Iranian informed sources.
