French Container Ship Faces “Warning Shots” in Strait of Hormuz
(MENAFN) A cargo vessel managed by the French maritime firm CMA CGM encountered “warning shots” while navigating the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, the firm announced Sunday. The company reassured that all personnel on board were unharmed, with no casualties reported, despite indications that the ship experienced some level of damage.
The firm confirmed the vessel’s identity as the CMA CGM Everglade, which sails under the French flag.
The International Maritime Organization, as referenced by a news outlet, stated that the ship incurred damage north of Kumzar, Oman. However, specifics regarding the severity of the impact were not disclosed, and there were no signs of environmental contamination.
Based on the company’s official remarks, the ship continues to function normally, with the harm confined to a number of shipping containers.
Multiple vessels, among them the Everglade, indicated they had come under fire from Iranian forces after Tehran reversed its decision regarding reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian authorities explained that the passage had been shut again as a countermeasure in response to the ongoing US-imposed blockade targeting the nation’s ports.
