Saudi shipping company Bahri says two sailors killed in incident in Hormuz
Saudi Arabia's national shipping company, Bahri, said on Wednesday that two Filipino seafarers were killed in a security incident involving its vessel "SIDR" as it transited through the Strait of Hormuz on August 31.
Saudi national shipping company Bahri reported on August 31 that two Filipino sailors lost their lives in a security incident involving their vessel, SIDR, while it was passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The company has not provided additional information regarding the event. On the same day, the United Kingdom Maritime and Coastguard Agency (UKMTO) disclosed that a tanker had been hit by three unidentified projectiles while exiting the Hormuz Strait.
Iran has warned against tankers transiting the waterway without proper authorization. Bahri continues to maintain regular communication with the vessel and is working closely with relevant authorities and maritime industry partners, while keeping a close eye on the situation. Just a week prior, another Bahri vessel, the Wedyan supertanker, encountered an incident near the strait while navigating close to Oman's coastline.
Additionally, two other Bahri ships, AMZAN and MASA, faced attacks in the Red Sea following Iran-backed Yemen's Houthis declaration of a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia.
