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.
