Reports are circulating that an Iranian boxship suffered an explosion on Wednesday in the eastern Mediterranean Sea near Israel's coastline.
The 2,200-teu Shahr E Kord (built 2012) suffered "an incident" while en route from the Suez Canal to Syria, according to maritime risk firm Ambrey Intelligence.
Ambrey said the ship slowed and deviated from the route shortly after 6 am (0400 GMT) on 10 March.
