C-17 crew is up there citing #OSINT like the rest of us squinting at a sketchy tweet at 1 AM. @thebaldgeek

@DefenceGeek As far as I know it has done nothing, the closest i could track it was months ago around Djubouti and maybe Duqm. The last ping was tracking in the mediterranean. But it has been dark for a month so not easy to know.

To put this into perspective, this is less than one hour of Chinese crude consumption.

@plm203 There are many small differences in different areas but ultimately you can see both ships at the same time 10/18 while the second ship was waiting for its turn. https://t.co/Lv1ey74eMR

I am guessing the threatened fiber cables would be the SEA-ME-WE 3, SEA-ME-WE 4, SEA-ME-WE 5, SEA-ME-WE 6, IMEWE, MENA and EIG. There are more cables but those would cut off themselves as well.

@thatguyisarobot The initial strike caused a fire so whatever leaked out went up in smoke. Then there were a few days of no leaks. And now it seems like a new compartment has ruptured.

The VLCC GEM NO.2 IMO: 9735373 previously engulfed in fire seen today leaking its cargo.

@thatguyisarobot I can only show you what the deck of Oldendorff should look like

Something went terribly wrong with the STS transfer between the bulk carriers LUCIE B IMO: 9587166 and ANTONIE OLDENDORFF IMO: 9696917 in Sohar 8/9th. LUCIE B transited the 8th, shortly after she started a STS transfer. I wonder if LUCIE B was hit during her Hormuz transit and they tried to offload her but a fire got out of control ? Either way both ships were covered in fire suppressant and smoke rising from the ships on the 9th.

[AtlasObserver @AtlasObserver]

@thatguyisarobot Oldendofff was the receiver, LUCI B was probably the problem ship.

@blerk213231111 It should have been , unless someone filtered it out, the size of that is around 50-100 megawatts, FIRMS can pick up a large grassfire at 2 megawatts

@mercoglianos @BrettErickson28 It never added up, the footage is in daylight ( many hours ago ), that kind of flame would have been seen on NASA Firms long ago.

Basrah has 3M daily capacity, the number of VLCC loading consistenly for a long period exceeds that capacity by a lot. Some of the explanation until recently was that the storage tanks were full. Now the storage tanks are close to empty seen from sat images. In addition two of the 3 FSO departed as well. They are simply not exporting at the previous volumes anymore, so they fill up some compartments and depart to the next PG terminal.

@thatguyisarobot @live_ais_com @jn9P2wNTDV75069 @LVision_Trading The ship is the previously hit KAZIMAH III IMO: 9653408, they just towed it down to Fujairah.

[AtlasObserver @AtlasObserver]

@tom_bike Looks like the previously hit in the middle of the strait KAZIMAH III IMO: 9653408 got towed down to Fujairah

[AtlasObserver @AtlasObserver]

@live_ais_com The large ship is dark so you only see the tug name

[AtlasObserver @AtlasObserver]

@live_ais_com These ships are not anchored , they drift, you have to playback to the satpass exact time, corrent location wont be precise

[AtlasObserver @AtlasObserver]

@live_ais_com Hard to tell which ship it is, the problem ship was towed there fairly quickly by several tugs. No ships were in that location prior to this incident.
