☆ Fact Check: Image does not show Israeli-managed ship attacked in the Indian Ocean
  + stars: | 2023-11-28 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The Malta-flagged container ship attacked in November is managed by Singapore-based Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS), which is in turn controlled by Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer. The same image can be seen in a Reuters report (photograph 8/19) (archived) about the incident dated Jun. Another photo of the ship on fire, captured from a different angle, was also published by Reuters (archived) in 2019. At the time, the U.S. blamed the incident (archived) and an explosion aboard a second tanker in the Gulf of Oman on Iran, which denied the allegations. The ship image dates to 2019 and is unrelated to the Nov. 24, 2023, attack on the Mayet.

RIYADH, Nov 25 (Reuters) - A container ship managed by an Israeli-controlled company was hit by a suspected Iranian drone in the Indian Ocean, causing minor damage to the vessel but no injuries, a U.S. defence official said on Saturday. The Malta-flagged CMA CGM SYMI, recently renamed Mayet, was struck on Friday by an unmanned aerial vehicle, which appeared to be an Iranian Shahed-136 drone, in the northeast portion of the Indian Ocean, the official said, asking not to be named. Israel called the vessel's seizure an "Iranian act of terrorism". Singapore-based Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS), which had rented Mayet, said it was aware a container ship was targeted in a possible security incident on Friday. The United States has blamed Iran for unclaimed attacks on several vessels in the region in the past few years.

Shipping company Maersk posted record annual earnings for 2022 but warned that profits are set to tumble this year as a "more balanced demand environment" emerges. CNBC's Investing in Space newsletter offers a view into the business of space exploration and privatization, delivered straight to your inbox. GPS, geospatial intelligence and satellite communications are the invisible backbone that powers the world's largest industries today." That's the core of Space Capital managing partner Chad Anderson's pitch to new investors about the value of the space industry – and I think the "invisible backbone" element serves as an important reminder. Satellites have been, are, and will continue to be a critical backbone of the world's industries – even if we don't notice.

☆ U.S. Centcom says Iranian-made drone hit Pacific Zircon tanker off Oman
  + stars: | 2022-11-17 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
An Israeli official had blamed Iran for the strike on the Pacific Zircon tanker managed by Israeli-controlled Eastern Pacific Shipping. The company said there was minor damage to the hull but no injuries or spillage of the gas oil cargo. A White House official earlier said the United States was "confident that Iran likely conducted" the hit using an unmanned aerial vehicle. U.S. Central Command said in a statement late on Wednesday that debris "reveals that it was a Shahed-series one-way attack drone" that hit the vessel, identifying it as Iranian-made. In July 2021, a suspected drone attack off Oman's coast hit a petroleum product tanker managed by an Israeli firm.

The attack happened Tuesday night off the coast of Oman, the Mideast-based defense official said.

That tanker is operated by Singapore-based Eastern Pacific Shipping, which is a company ultimately owned by Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer. Iranian state media did not immediately acknowledge the attack on the Pacific Zircon.

A drone armed with a bomb hit an oil tanker off the coast of Oman on Tuesday evening. An Israeli government official has said that they believe Iran is responsible for the strike. The company said there had been "minor damage to the vessel's hull," but there was no "spillage of cargo," referring to the gas oil the tanker was carrying. However, no one has claimed responsibility for the Oman drone attack. Due to tensions between Iran and Israel, Tehran's possible involvement in the attack is suspected.
