Fire erupts on ships at Egypt’s Damietta port

A fire erupted on two ships at Egypt’s Damietta port, affecting vessels involved in gas processing and storage. The Egyptian Oil Ministry confirmed no injuries and stated the situation was managed through emergency protocols, though the cause remains unidentified. Maritime service Inchcape noted a blast at an LNG terminal, while Reuters, citing Ambrey, reported a US-owned floating storage tanker was struck by a drone, leading to crew evacuation and fire containment. No claims of responsibility have been made. The incident occurs amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran, following recent military actions and diplomatic pauses.
