Hafnia has confirmed that a remote-controlled skiff carrying explosives was responsible for the attack on one of its LR1 tankers in Jeddah last year.
Saudi Arabia claimed at the time that the incident was caused by an “explosive-laden boat”, but the story was never confirmed.
The 76,600-dwt BW Rhine (built 2008) was discharging a cargo of gasoline at the Red Sea port when the incident occurred on 14 December 2020.
