GasLog has confirmed that the GasLog Shanghai safely arrived and anchored at Khor Fakkan, on the east coast of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), on 4 August 2026, following an incident involving the vessel while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on 31 July 2026.
All personnel onboard have been confirmed safe and in good health. The company credited the professionalism and resilience of the crew, alongside the coordinated efforts of shore-based teams and the timely activation of established contingency and emergency response procedures, for ensuring a successful outcome.
GasLog also expressed its appreciation to the relevant authorities and partners for their cooperation and support throughout the response effort.
To remind, the UK Maritime Trade Operations reported that an unidentified vessel had been struck by a projectile off the coast of Oman. Security consultancies Vanguard Tech and Marisks identified the vessel as the GasLog Shanghai.
The company confirmed the incident occurred on 31 August while the vessel was leaving the strait, and said all crew were safe and accounted for and that the tanker remained stable.
The GasLog Shanghai had loaded an LNG cargo at Qatar’s Ras Laffan export terminal on 27–28 July before transiting the Strait of Hormuz on 31 July. Vessel-tracking data showed the carrier reappearing outside the waterway on 2 August.
