ADNOC Logistics & Services says an attack damaged one of its vessels on November 10 inside UAE territorial waters in the Gulf, the state news agency WAM reported. The company has not named the vessel, described the damage or identified the attacker, and we found no claim of responsibility. It was not the only strike that day. A projectile hit the VLCC Fujairah Energy in the Gulf and injured four crew members, India’s Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways said, and UK Maritime Trade Operations reported a tanker struck off Lima, Oman. Two days earlier, a tanker managed by Navig8, which ADNOC Logistics & Services majority owns, was shown on fire near Oman in social media videos that Reuters verified. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards navy says tankers that hit naval mines were using unauthorized routes. On our reading, an attack inside UAE waters takes the risk to ADNOC’s fleet beyond the Strait of Hormuz, where the earlier attacks we could locate took place, and the open question is who is behind it. This brief sets out what ADNOC said, what else was hit, what Iran and the UAE have said, what ADNOC has been buying and what is still unknown.
