Tankers in collision off Khor Fakkan

The 'Adalynn' was in collision with the tanker 'Front Eagle' near the Khor Fakkan Anchorage on June 16, 2025, at 9:14 p.m. UTC. The 'Front Eagle' was loaded and bound for Zhoushan. The unloaded 'Adalynn' had just departed the anchorage. The 'Front Eagle' was sailing southbound at 13.1 knots and executed a starboard turn, striking the after port quarter of the 'Adalynn', which was proceeding southeast at 4.8 knots towards the Suez Canal. The collision resulted in a hull breach and a massive fire on the 'Adalynn'. The blaze quickly spread and consumed the superstructure of the tanker. The fire also spread onto the deck of the 'Front Eagle'. The crew of the Front Eagle were able to extinguish it, and there were no reports of injuries. On June 17 at 01.51 a.m. UTC, the 'Front Eagle' changed its status to Not Under Command. The Coast Guard of the UAE National Guard evacuated the 24 crew members of the 'Adalynn', using SAR boats. The cause of the incident was not security-related, but thought to have been caused by a navigational error, however, spoofing of GPS signals has made the area more prone to accidents lately. The 'Adalynn' was at 25.330959, 56.823463, though its anchoring status remained unconfirmed. The Ukrainian government has accused the 'Adalynn' of being involved in the export of Russian oil/oil products from the Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga, as well as using deceptive practices such as disabling its AIS and conducting shady activities in the Kola Bay area in 2023 and 2024. The last laden voyage was from Ust-Luga in Sep 2024. It delivered 855,000 barrels of Urals crude to the Vadinar refinery on the west coast of India the following month. Since then, it has remained off the coast of the UAE and spent several months at the port of Duqm in Oman. The 'Front Eagle' has protection and indemnity cover with Steamship Mutual. The 'Adalynn' does not have cover from any of the 12 clubs that make up the International Group of P&I Clubs. The area of the collision has been designated a high-risk area where shipowners require additional cover from specialist war insurers, which take on responsibility for hull and P&I claims.
