A very large crude carrier (VLCC) was involved in a collision with a dark fleet tanker off the coast of the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, marking one of about a thousand vessels affected by satellite jamming since Israel launched an attack on Iran last Friday.
According to maritime data platforms Windward and Kpler, the 300 000 deadweight tonne (dwt) crude carrier Front Eagle collided with the 165 000-dwt tanker Adalynn.
