Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Sea-V

On August 19, 2026, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy successfully diverted the 'Sea V' tanker, emphasizing a different approach compared to the recent attacks on UAE-registered vessels. The IRGC chose to issue a warning rather than escalate tensions. This incident is particularly significant as it marked the interception of two China-linked tankers within just 24 hours, both of which aborted their planned routes through the crucial Strait of Hormuz. The first tanker, 'Sea V', had departed from Iraq and was strategically positioned near the strait's entrance from the Persian Gulf when ordered to turn back. Another Hong Kong-flagged vessel, 'Hestia', also opted to withdraw from its journey, choosing to anchor at Khor Fakkan as it entered the Persian Gulf. In a similar stance, the 'Erecter', another Hong Kong-flagged ship, remained in the Persian Gulf close to the strait and refrained from any attempts to navigate through. In contrast, two tankers linked to South Korea’s Sinokor shipping company successfully traversed the southern route of the strait. The Liberian-registered 'V Prosperity' was observed entering the strait utilizing a dark mode, later anchoring off Dubai. Likewise, the 'Singapore Prosperity', another vessel registered in Liberia and operated by Sinokor, appeared to have completed its transit before anchoring near Fujairah. As maritime activities continue to navigate geopolitical complexities in the region, these recent developments underscore the heightened vigilance and strategic decisions being undertaken by naval forces in response to navigating vessels.
