A blast, possibly caused by mine, has ripped a breach in the hull of a Greek-controlled aframax in Saudi waters in the Red Sea.
The incident involved the 107,000-dwt Agrari (built 2009), a vessel listed under management of George Economou company TMS Tankers.
According to a statement issued on behalf of TMS, the Malta-flagged vessel was attacked by "an unknown source" while at berth at Shuqaiq in Saudi Arabia after completion of discharge and preparations to depart.
