A drone hit a U.S.-owned gas storage tanker at Egypt's Mediterranean port of Damietta, maritime security firm Ambrey said on Wednesday, citing an initial assessment of the incident. Port services firm Inchcape said in a separate message that two gas tankers had caught fire at Damietta.
The drone hit the floating storage tanker Energos Winter, causing a fire that then spread to another vessel, the Gaslog Salem, three trading sources familiar with the incident said. Two separate security sources said a drone strike caused the blast.
Ambrey said the crew were evacuated and that the fire had been brought under control. The firm added that no party had claimed responsibility.
