Photos shared by the Royal Thai Navy showed heavy black smoke billowing from the hull and superstructure of the Thai-registered Mayuree Naree, with life rafts floating in the water. Photo | AFPBANGKOK: A Thai bulk carrier travelling in the crucial Strait of Hormuz was attacked Wednesday, with 20 crew members rescued so far, the Thai navy said. The vessel was attacked while transiting the Strait of Hormuz after departing Khalifa port in the United Arab Emirates, the navy said in a statement. Ship-tracking websites showed the Mayuree Naree just off the Omani coast in the Strait of Hormuz, moving slowly at little more than one knot. The Thai navy said it is owned by a Thai transport company, Precious Shipping.
