Oil tanker and destroyer collide
An OIL tanker collided with a US navy destroyer near the Strait of Hormuz yesterday, but no-one was hurt and shipping traffic in the waterway, through which 40 per cent of the world’s seaborne oil exports pass, was not affected, officials said.
The US navy said the Japanese-owned bulk oil tanker M/V Otowasan collided with the USS Porter, a guided-missile destroyer, in the early hours.
