Tanker Crew Abandons Vessel After Projectile Strike in Hormuz, UKMTO Confirms
🚢 HORMUZ — Crew abandons ship; the strait now has its first ghost hull. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Abandonment signals vessel beyond damage control — likely sinking or fire. UKMTO confirmation enters this into Lloyd's loss records, not just war risk repricing. Prior strikes this week were survivable; an abandoned hull is the campaign's first constructive total loss. Every operator still attempting transit just lost their last commercial argument for doing so.
