USV Attack Damages MSC Sariska V in Gulf
This video reportedly shows the damage to the starboard side of the Panama-flagged containership MSC Sariska V. The ship has been trapped in the Persian Gulf since February 28, when the war started. MSC has established an overland service to the Persian Gulf with cargo coming across Saudi Arabia and the UAE. MSC Sariska V appears to be operating as a shuttle ship between ports in Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and the UAE. The ship was outbound from Umm Qasr, Iraq when it appears to have been damaged by an Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV). We have seen similar Iranian attacks at this site by other USVs in the past. A few things to note. While the ship seems fully loaded, she is light, meaning that most of the containers are empty. The damage, starboard side amidships is largely above the waterline, thereby ruling out a mine - even a floating one. It could be a missile, but that damage would probably be more severe based on attacks we have seen on HMM Namu and CMA CGM San Antonio. Iran has targeted MSC ships in the past, with the seizure of two of them last month trying to exit the Strait of Hormuz. https://t.co/jMIVwfoDlW
