Tanker markets were spooked over the weekend when reports emerged that a UK-flagged VLCC may have been targeted by Iranian forces.
Initial reports said the Mitsui OSK Line (MOL) owned 302,290-dwt Pacific Voyager (built 2009) had “come to a halt” in the Middle East Gulf.
However, a United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) official later told Reuters that the tanker was “safe and well”.
