Iran claimed attack on bitumen tanker
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has claimed an attack on the 'Athe Nova', currently located off the coast of Khor Fakkan. The 'Athe Nova' has a history of serving Iranian energy shipping interests, and was an unusual selection for Iranian forces to attack. The vessel has called at the Iranian port of Soroosh and at ports in Oman before. The 'Athe Nova' had allegedly attempted to make an "illegal" crossing of the Strat of Hormuz and was hit by two drones. Just before the claimed strike, the 'Athe Nova' exhibited AIS movement behaviour consistent with a distress situation or loitering near the Strait of Hormuz. With28 years of age, the vessel was operating beyond the normal commercial lifespan of a tanker, and has an extensive inspection and detention history. PSC inspectors have found issues on board in every boarding since 2015; the vessel was last examined in India in 2023, and port state control found issues with hatches, deck corrosion, lifeboats, drills, and electrical equipment safety.
