Russians could be on board of Front Altair, one of the oil tankers that faced an attack in the Gulf of Oman, a representative of the shipowner company told Norwegian VG newspaper on Thursday.
“As far as I know, all the 23 people who were on board [of Front Altair] are currently safe. They have been transported to another vessel,” the representative said, as quoted by VG.
The UK Maritime Trade Operations organisation has said earlier that the United Kingdom and its partners are investigating the incident in the Gulf of Oman following media reports about an “attack” targeting oil tankers had emerged.
