Reviews & Ratings for the Richmond-Voyager

In a concerning incident on July 5, 2023, the oil tanker 'Richmond Voyager' encountered a hostile situation in the Gulf of Oman, just northwest of Muscat, at the coordinates 23°55'N and 59°05'E. At approximately 01:35 UTC, the Iranian navy signaled the ship via VHF communication, instructing it to halt. Ignoring the order and continuing on its route, the vessel became the target of gunfire from an Iranian naval ship, which aimed shots at the funnel of the tanker. As it remains unclear whether any damage was sustained, the crew promptly responded by increasing the ship's speed and altering its course toward Omani territorial waters, following guidance from an allied coalition warship present in the region.
