Oman suspends crude oil loading at key terminal following blast – Reuters
Oman’s Mina al Fahal terminal has suspended oil loading following an explosion near its single-buoy mooring (SBM) berths, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday (local time).
The explosion occurred between SBM 1 and 2 berths due to an alleged drone attack, they said.
It was not immediately clear when the attack took place.
Several supertankers were seen anchored off the port on Friday, shipping data from LSEG showed.
Iranian state media on Wednesday reported that Tehran targeted a U.S. military ship hosting a “control and command center” while it was approaching Iranian territorial waters in the Gulf of Oman, which the U.S. Central Command has denied.
