UK maritime analytics firm Windward published satellite-image analysis on the 23rd showing two tankers near the Strait of Hormuz suspected of leaking oil; the slick is drifting toward Iran’s Larak and Qeshm island coasts. The eastern vessel is the Kavomarias, which was attacked and set alight on the 20th near the strait; Windward says the ship was in ballast at the time, so the discharge is likely ship fuel rather than crude or cargo. The western vessel is a dark ship with its AIS switched off; its identity is unknown and satellite imagery indicates it has been stationary in the same area since May with suspected leakage around the hull.
