UAE coast guard evacuates 24 people from oil tanker crash east of the critical Strait of Hormuz

  • On June 17, 2025, the Emirati National Guard carried out a rescue operation, removing all 24 individuals aboard the oil tanker Adalynn after it was involved in a collision with the Front Eagle near the Strait of Hormuz.
  • The collision happened amid rising strain between Israel and Iran, marked by ongoing airstrikes and repeated Iranian warnings about potentially blocking the strait in response to pressure from Western nations.
  • The empty Suezmax tanker Adalynn, en route to the Suez Canal in Egypt, collided with the Front Eagle, which was transporting two million barrels of crude oil originating from Iraq and destined for China; no signs of pollution were reported following the collision.
  • Frontline, the company operating the Front Eagle, stated that the incident was a navigational accident unrelated to the Israel-Iran conflict. The company is actively following developments and working in collaboration with the appropriate authorities as emergency response operations proceed.
  • The incident increased regional maritime security concerns, prompting some shipping firms to reconsider Gulf contracts, amid spotty navigation signals and surging oil prices linked to the ongoing geopolitical instability.
