LONDON/CAIRO (Reuters): A drone hit a US-owned gas storage tanker at Egypt’s Mediterranean port of Damietta, British maritime security firm Ambrey said on Wednesday, citing an initial assessment of the incident.
A statement from Egypt’s petroleum ministry confirmed a fire at the port but made no mention of a drone attack.
Port services firm Inchcape said in a separate message two gas tankers had caught fire at Damietta.
The drone hit floating storage tanker Energos Winter, causing a fire that then spread to another vessel, Gaslog Salem, three trading sources familiar with the incident said.
The Energos Winter is a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) with storage capacity of 138,250 cubic meters.
