Norwegian owner Frontline says it will recoup total costs of $6m arising from the mine attack on a tanker in the Middle East Gulf last year.

The explosion occurred on the 110,000-dwt Front Altair (built 2016) in June after it passed through the Strait of Hormuz in an attack blamed by the US on Iran.

The 23 crew were unharmed and the fire was extinguished within hours.
