These are Russians and Philippine. The tanker was heading from Basra's port in Iraq to Singapore. Journalists learned from the insider that the ship would continue "relying on their own forces. " Delta Tankers, a vessel operator, confirmed that the ship drifted and was injured. But the crew evaluates the situation, and the ship will continue its journey. The last time, according to Marine Traffic, tanker gave a signal when he was off the coast. It was five days ago.
