A ship belonging to Evergreen Marine was hit by an unknown object off Oman but has now safely departed the Strait of Hormuz, the Taiwanese company said on Friday.
The starboard side of the bridge of the Ever Lovely, owned by its Singapore subsidiary, was hit a day earlier by an unknown object 3.6 nautical miles off Oman’s Khawr Naiwah.
After an initial inspection by the crew, damage was found around the bridge windows. But the crew, vessel and cargo are all safe, it said.
The main engine and navigation instruments are operating normally and there are no seaworthiness issues; the vessel has safely departed the Strait of Hormuz, the company said.
