Two ships collided on June 17 in the Gulf of Oman, close to the Straits of Hormuz, one of the most crucial chokepoints in the global oil trade.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) National Guard stated that it had evacuated 24 people from the crude oil tanker Adalynn, which was headed toward the Suez Canal in Egypt at the time of the incident. The Adalynn sails under the flag of Antigua Barbuda.
