Summary

Two Singapore-registered container ships, the GFS Pride and GFS Giselle, were struck in the Strait of Hormuz on October 13-14, 2026. The GFS Pride caught fire and sank; the GFS Giselle sustained hull damage but reached safe anchorage. All 43 crew members were safely evacuated with no injuries reported. The cause is disputed: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy claimed the GFS Pride struck a naval mine while navigating an unauthorized route; the U.S. Navy, Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority, and multiple reports describe strikes by unknown projectiles. Maritime security firm Marisks stated there was no independent evidence supporting the mine-strike claim. The vessel carried over 2,500 containers. Iranian fishermen retrieved boxes of iPhones and luxury perfumes from the area, with videos showing fishermen pulling cargo directly from the waves among semi-submerged containers.
