MSC says vessel hit by projectiles in Iraq's Umm Qasr port on Monday, crew safe

MSC, the world's largest shipping group, said on Tuesday its Sariska V vessel was struck by two projectiles while in Iraq's Umm Qasr port on Monday, adding that ⁠all crew members were safe and unharmed.

The company said Iran's Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) had claimed responsibility and described the incident as an unprovoked attack on a neutral commercial carrier ⁠with no affiliation to the United States or Israel.

"MSC is deeply concerned by these ⁠unprovoked attacks and the risk they create for its innocent seafarers ⁠and essential maritime trade in the region," the ⁠group said in a statement.
