May 3 (Reuters) – A bulk carrier reported being attacked by multiple small craft while transiting north about 11 nautical miles west of Iran’s Sirik on Sunday, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency said, adding that all crew were safe and no environmental impact was reported.
Later on Sunday, Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency said the ship was not seized and that it was stopped by the Iranian navy to check documents as part of supervisory procedures.
