1/2 We're very happy to see The Wall Street Journal citing our data on maritime attacks in its latest coverage of the Iran war.

Our @WashInstitute map (below) tracks maritime attacks and incidents in the MENA region since 2017.

1/2 I updated the chart. At least 13 ship attacks have been publicly reported and confirmed so far in November. Ten involved oil tankers ( crude, oil/chemical, and oil products tankers).

I have not included a few additional incidents because I’m still awaiting a second source. The total could therefore be slightly higher for November. My approach relies on cross-checking different sources, especially when details are scant.

Yesterday’s chart showed 11 attacks for November. Today, JMIC confirmed that the incident involving NCC Fajr (IMO 9595644) was an attack, rather than a “possible attack”, so I added it. I also added the confirmed attack on VLCC Dominica Prosperity (IMO 9395496).

Details of these attacks are in the @WashInstitute map linked in the next post. The other attacks reported today by UKMTO/JMIC were already included in the chart and map, so make sure to avoid double-counting.

I’ll discuss these attacks in an upcoming podcast episode. Stay tuned.

1/2 I updated this chart and map below with the two additional ship incidents on Nov 10 and 11. I added the Saudi Arabia-flagged NCC Fajr (IMO 9595644), and the Liberia-flagged Fujairah Energy (IMO 9723071) - linked to Sinokor and Adnoc. All these on the map in the next post.

NCC Fajr was involved in a "possible attack." If more information emerges regarding NCC Fajr, I will review the numbers/chart/map. Because it is "possible attack" for now, it is not yet on the chart below awaiting more info. So far in Nov, at least 11 ship attacks have been reported and *confirmed* ( majority oil tankers). This month is a continuation of Oct's intensive Iranian maritime campaign.

The map is in the next post. Crude tanker Tarif (IMO 9828390), reported over the weekend in an incident confirmed by the IMO today, was already on the map. This is the second attack against Tarif which is linked to Adnoc. The first was in August. You can search for all these on the map below.

1/2 At least 10 ship attacks have been reported and confirmed so far in November in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waterways, as shown in my updated chart below ( I also updated Oct).

At least two additional incidents took place this month that have not been publicly reported. Each has been confirmed by only one source, so neither is included in the chart. But this is important to note, and many thanks to all the sources/colleagues in this field who are doing the work and reaching out to share additional information.

Today’s attack, reported by UKMTO, targeted the crude tanker Sea 1 (IMO 9329758). Details are in the interactive map linked in the next post. This target was confirmed by Vanguard.

If you’re using the map below and its data, thank you for citing it. We’ve been tracking ship attacks continuously since day one of the Iran war; not just since October.

1/3 At least 7 attacks have been reported and confirmed so far in Nov in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waterways. I have updated the data, which you can view on the map below by @WashInstitute .

Despite attempts to mediate amid the Iran war, the Iranian maritime campaign is highly unlikely to stop now. This campaign is keeping the crude recovery inconsistent, other commodities like LNG and refined products still lagging way behind, and risks very high. This is how I look at the campaign and the recovery.

Use the map on a computer monitor; it has not yet been adapted for phone screens.
