A product tanker operated by Zodiac Maritime, which is controlled by Israeli tycoon Eyal Ofer, came under attack off the coast of Oman. Two seafarers were killed in the incident.
The 49,992-dwt Mercer Street (built 2013) was involved in a “suspected piracy incident” on Thursday when ballasting from Dar es Salaam to Fujairah, Zodiac said on Twitter.
“With profound sadness, we understand the incident…has resulted in the deaths of two crew members on board: a Romanian national and a UK national.”
