Daniel Kim Views  

Translation resultStrait HMM(011200) said May 4 that, amid reports a cargo ship anchored near the Strait of Hormuz had been attacked, “an explosion occurred and a fire broke out on the port side of the bulk carrier’s engine room.”

HMM said the ship’s crew were fighting the blaze in the Strait of Hormuz and that the company was reluctant to classify the incident as a deliberate attack.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said an explosion and fire occurred that afternoon aboard an HMM vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. Officials confirmed the ship had 6 South Korean crew members and 18 foreign seafarers on board at the time of the blast. There were no reported casualties.
