Multiple images have emerged on social media showing the tanker Adalynn ablaze off Fujairah after being in a collision early this morning after being in a collision with the Frontline tanker Front Eagle.

Credible media reports identify the Antigua and Barbuda-flagged Adalynn as part of the Russian shadow fleet.

Reportedly all 24 members of its crew were safely evacuated by the UAE Coast Guard.

According to Frontline, “this is a navigational incident and not related to the current regional conflict.”

That was also the assessment of UKMTO
