Summary

On October 30, 2026, the Omani Maritime Security Centre managed an evacuation operation in the Persian Gulf after a Panamanian-flagged commercial vessel, identified in reports as the RITI merchant ship, caught fire following an attack. The Suezmax Louise 1 was also reported as a target in the area. While Iranian officials claimed to have halted three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and alleged that a supertanker caught fire after an explosion, these claims remain unverified. The Omani navy conducted the rescue of the crew from the destroyed vessel near the Musandam shoreline.
