Translation result.“The crew and vessel are safe, but the master reported that some bunker fuel spilled into the sea.” As tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continue, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said on the 26th (local time) it received a report of an explosion on the exterior of an oil tanker off the coast of Oman. Reuters and AFP reported the ship said the blast struck its port side near the waterline while it was about 60 nautical miles (111 km; about 69 statute miles) off Muscat, Oman’s capital. Bunker fuel is the heavy residual oil left after crude oil is refined into diesel and gasoline.
