The Nav-Neha: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

In a significant security incident, the bulk carrier 'Safesea Neha' was engaged by two Iranian drones on May 10, 2026. The attack occurred at 03:01 a.m. UTC while the vessel was anchored at a position of 25° 26' N 051° 58' E, approximately 23 nautical miles northeast of Qatar, within the Doha Anchorage. During the assault, one of the drones succeeded in striking the ship, leading to a minor fire onboard, which the crew managed to extinguish without any injuries reported. The 'Safesea Neha' was in an unloaded state and carried a crew of 23 at the time of the attack. This incident marked the second time a vessel from the New Jersey-based company has been targeted amidst rising tensions in the ongoing US-Iran conflict, following the tanker 'Safesea Vishnu', which was hit during a ship-to-ship transfer in Iraqi waters on March 12.
