Two Dynacom tankers struck by projectiles in Strait of Hormuz
Greek tanker manager Dynacom, the largest non-Iranian commercial operator moving oil through the Strait of Hormuz, saw two of its vessels—the Panamax tanker Kavomaleas and the VLCC Acheloos—struck by projectiles Monday while transiting the U.S.-coordinated southern corridor off Oman. All crew members were reported safe, though the Kavomaleas crew abandoned ship after a fire broke out in the engine room. The attacks underscore growing security risks even along the safer southern route, prompting shipowners to reconsider Hormuz transits despite U.S. military coordination.
