All 23 crew are safe and well in Iran following the attack on a Frontline tanker in the Middle East Gulf on Thursday.

Manager ITM said the seafarers were disembarked at the port of Jask after abandoning the 110,000-dwt Front Altair (built 2016) and being picked up by an Iranian rescue boat.

"The crew are on their way to Bandar Abbas prior to repatriation," it added.
