The International Maritime Organization\u2019s highlighted-incidents board, as at Friday, 30 October, now prints 122 confirmed incidents in the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Middle East, with 24 confirmed seafarer fatalities. Tuesday\u2019s dedicated board piece on this desk sat at 121 as at 27 October, with Leonora Kosan as the newest named row. The fatality line has not moved. What moved is the count by one, and one new named row at the top of the table. IMO now prints GHANA PROSPERITY, IMO 9732541, dated 23 October, Strait of Hormuz, damaged, no pollution. That is a second Ghana Prosperity row on the same sheet. The 3 October Strait of Hormuz row for the same IMO number is still there. Saturday is the first official IMO print of a 23 October confirmed incident against this hull.<\/p>\n

The count is an IMO product. It is not a UKMTO warning, not a JMIC Update 110, and not a rewrite of Monday 26 October\u2019s dedicated Warning 182-26, Saturday 25 October\u2019s dedicated NAVAREA IX 404\/26 Musandam anchorage, Tuesday\u2019s 121-count, or this morning\u2019s dedicated 189-26 and 775\/26 pieces. UKMTO\u2019s recent-incidents board still ends at Warning 189-26. Update 109, JMIC# 001 26, ICOD 291300 UTC 29 October, remains the last numbered public periodic note and is unused as a dedicated file on this desk. That is a different counter from IMO\u2019s 122. Masters who brief Saturday afternoon as Update 110, as UKMTO finally printing Ghana Prosperity on the original 182-26 PDF, as a completed 29\u201330 October tape, or as a Hormuz reopen will have misread the instrument.<\/p>\n

What the 30 October board actually adds<\/h2>\n

Tuesday\u2019s page was 121 confirmed incidents, 24 dead, with LEONORA KOSAN as the operational naming of that snapshot and with SOYIA, CHLOE (MIVERVA V), AL DASMA, JIF BARRACUDA, LOYALTY, ST3, GFS PRIDE, GFS GISELLE, AL SAADIYAT, DP WORLD KAVERI, KITION M, EVER VICT, AL MAQAM, ANGOLA PROSPERITY and PETRO DOLPHIN already on the sheet. Friday\u2019s page is 122. The increment is one confirmed incident. One new named row sits at the top of the table, above Leonora Kosan. That arithmetic is cleaner than the 114-to-119 jump, which added five confirmed incidents and printed only three new names. One increment from that +5 is still unnamed on this public sheet. Do not invent it. Do not treat the +1 as a silent conversion of 185-26, 186-26, 187-26, 188-26 or 189-26. Those UKMTO products remain unnamed on this board. Do not treat the +1 as a RITI, Quba or Contship Jet conversion. Those hulls do not belong on this Middle East table.<\/p>\n

The new row is GHANA PROSPERITY, IMO 9732541, 23 October, Strait of Hormuz, damaged, no pollution. The same hull already sits lower on the sheet as 3 October, Strait of Hormuz, damaged, no pollution. Al Dasma is the other hull on this board that already carries a second-attack geometry: 7 September and 20 October. Saturday\u2019s increment is the same pattern against a Sinokor VLCC, not a first-time naming. Saturday 25 October\u2019s dedicated NAVAREA IX 404\/26 already placed this named hull at anchor in 26-17.052N 056-33.35E, about 4.5 nautical miles south of Jazirat Musandam, after a security incident; 410\/26 later cancelled that caution. Monday 26 October\u2019s dedicated Warning 182-26 remains an unnamed outbound-Hormuz Attack, 0839 UTC 23 October, tanker disabled by an unknown projectile, crew reported safe, no damage assessment or environmental-impact report. IMO does not print 182-26, 0839 UTC, \u201cdisabled,\u201d a Verified time-late line, a crew-safe line, a Musandam offset or an attacker. It prints Ghana Prosperity, 9732541, damaged, no pollution, Strait of Hormuz, on a 23 October date. That is a tighter hull finding than the PDF, and it matches the PDF\u2019s silence on a named cargo grade. It is not a completed class survey. It is not a UKMTO PDF revision.<\/p>\n

Hold the clocks. UKMTO dates 182-26 to 23 October 0839 UTC. IMO dates the new Ghana Prosperity row to 23 October without a time. Dedicated 404\/26 used a 240230 UTC 24 October DTG for an undated security incident and an anchorage, and that notice is no longer in force. Those are three official instruments, not one collapsed Attack. Do not invent which UKMTO number is this 23 October IMO row. The PDF has not been revised. Do not collapse Leonora Kosan onto this increment because both sit on a 23 October date. Leonora Kosan remains Tuesday\u2019s dedicated 121-count print: IMO 9390953, 6 nautical miles northeast of Limah, damaged, no pollution, against the 181-26 Limah geometry. Different hull, different offset, different dedicated file.<\/p>\n

The rest of Tuesday\u2019s sheet is still there. LEONORA KOSAN remains 23 October, IMO 9390953, 6 NM northeast of Limah, damaged, no pollution. SOYIA remains 20 October, IMO 9263916, 30 NM southeast of Al Faw, damaged, no pollution. CHLOE (MIVERVA V) remains 19 October, IMO 9315367, 121 NM from the coast of Oman, damaged, no pollution. AL DASMA remains 20 October, IMO 9653446, Strait of Hormuz, second attack, damaged, no pollution, with the 7 September first-attack row still on the board. JIF BARRACUDA remains 18 October, IMO 9345506, northeast of Khor Fakkan, damaged, no pollution, one seafarer injured. LOYALTY remains 16 October, IMO 9182306, 78 NM northeast of Al Jubail, damaged, no pollution. ST3 remains 16 October, IMO 9220964, 68 NM from Al Jubail, damaged, no pollution. GFS PRIDE remains sunk, no pollution. PETRO DOLPHIN remains two seafarers missing at Sohar Anchorage. GEM NO. 2 remains 9 October, IMO 9735373, 13 NM west of Al Jazeera, damaged. Cameroon Prosperity is still printed with the eight-digit IMO typo 93151598; the working seven-digit number on earlier dedicated files is 9315159. CAPE DAO remains 23 September, IMO 9219020, 15 NM northeast of Khasab, sunk, no pollution, one seafarer fatality. The fatality total is still 24. None of those rows is the 122-count move. The move is the one-incident increment and the second Ghana Prosperity print at the top.<\/p>\n

Ghana Prosperity is an IMO print, not a 182-26 PDF naming<\/h2>\n

Warning 182-26 remains an unnamed PDF. The working primary on that dedicated Monday file is still: ATTACK, 23 October 2026, 0839 UTC, source Verified, time-late, tanker, outbound Strait of Hormuz, unknown projectile, vessel disabled, crew reported safe, no damage assessment or environmental impact report at present. UKMTO printed neither a ship name, an IMO number, a flag, a cargo grade, a projectile type, a fire, a NUC or tow line, a Musandam offset nor an attacker. Saturday\u2019s IMO row does not revise that PDF. A DPA who briefs Saturday afternoon as \u201cUKMTO has now named 182-26\u201d has over-read a highlighted-incidents table that does not print a warning number.<\/p>\n

Update 109, unused as a dedicated file on this desk, already named GHANA PROSPERITY against 182-26 as wrap on that unused note: unknown projectile about 2 nautical miles off Musandam, outbound, disabled and anchored, crew safe. That is a JMIC naming on a periodic note whose ICOD is 291300 UTC 29 October. It is not this IMO board, and it is not a 182-26 PDF revision. IMO\u2019s 30 October sheet is tighter on the hull and the pollution line and thinner on the geometry. It prints Strait of Hormuz and \u201cdamaged,\u201d not \u201c2 NM off Musandam,\u201d not \u201cdisabled,\u201d and not \u201canchored.\u201d Hold the official lines separately. A DPA who briefs Update 109\u2019s crew-safe and disabled lines as a completed IMO survey will over-read the board. A DPA who briefs IMO\u2019s \u201cdamaged, no pollution\u201d as a UKMTO revision of 182-26 will over-read the PDF. Neither product has been revised today.<\/p>\n

Clearwater Dynamics Alert 038-(Oct 26) remains industry colour: the same 0839 UTC clock, aggressor tagged military, later update naming the Liberian-flagged tanker Ghana Prosperity, IMO 9732541. That colour is consistent with Saturday\u2019s IMO print. It is not an IMO flag print and not a UKMTO naming. Ambrey\u2019s 23 October 07:35 Oman territorial-waters merchant-vessel projectile colour remains a different clock. Do not collapse it onto this 23 October IMO row as a territorial-sea confirmation. Do not collapse it onto 182-26 as a PDF naming.<\/p>\n

Open-register colour only, not an IMO flag or cargo print: Liberia, crude oil tanker, IMO 9732541, built 2016, about 333 metres, about 154,133 gt \/ 299,047 dwt, MMSI 636026121. Registers used on the dedicated 404\/26 file list registered owner Haut Brion 6 SA, commercial manager Sinokor Maritime Co Ltd, and ISM manager Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd. That is a VLCC, not Leonora Kosan\u2019s small LPG and not Soyia\u2019s products tanker. Distinct from dedicated LEONORA KOSAN, IMO 9390953, Singapore-flag LPG, about 115 metres, 8,545 dwt, on the 23 October Limah row. Distinct from dedicated AL DASMA, IMO 9653446, Kuwait-flag, on the 20 October Strait second-attack row. Distinct from dedicated CAMEROON PROSPERITY, still the separate 4 October IMO row with the board\u2019s 93151598 typo. Do not fold the two Prosperity hulls into one Saturday increment.<\/p>\n

Dedicated 404\/26 remains the first official NAVAREA that named this hull and gave a Musandam lat-long. It is no longer the working keep-clear. 410\/26, the dedicated 28 October cancellation, cancelled 373\/26, 403\/26 and 404\/26. Do not restore 26-17.052N 056-33.35E from Saturday\u2019s IMO print. IMO printed neither an anchorage, a keep-clear radius, a wreck buoy nor a least depth against the new row. Do not invent a return-to-passage line because the hydrographic caution is withdrawn. Do not invent a wreck because the first Ghana Prosperity row and the second both print \u201cdamaged,\u201d not \u201csunk.\u201d<\/p>\n

What this is not<\/h2>\n

This is not Warning 189-26. This morning\u2019s dedicated UKMTO Attack is a time-late 28 October crude-oil-tanker projectile on an outbound Hormuz transit, time TBC, source Verified, no hull on the PDF. IMO has not taken that clock. This is not Warning 188-26, Friday night\u2019s dedicated Lavan Island Attack, 40 nautical miles south of Lavan, Master, 1800 UTC 30 October. This is not Warning 187-26, Friday morning\u2019s dedicated attached-device Attack 25 nautical miles northeast of Khasab. This is not unused Warning 186-26, the 29 October 1600 UTC CSO outbound-Hormuz projectile that still has no dedicated file on this desk. This is not Warning 185-26, Thursday\u2019s dedicated Suspicious Activity fire 9 nautical miles north of Khasab. None of those numbers sits on the 30 October IMO sheet.<\/p>\n

This is not NAVAREA IX 420\/26. Last night\u2019s dedicated RITI fire-and-anchor remains 26-24.07N 056-24.72E, about 1 nautical mile northwest of Ra\u2019s Tahir. IMO has not printed RITI. This is not 417\/26. Friday morning\u2019s dedicated MSV Quba wreck remains 26-19.95N 056-16.82E. This is not this morning\u2019s dedicated NAVWARN 775\/26 two-hour Bulgarian territorial-sea e-mail, and it is not Thursday\u2019s dedicated Contship Jet or Khoryv wrecks. Those Black Sea instruments do not belong on this Middle East table.<\/p>\n

This is not Update 110. Update 109 remains the last numbered public periodic note, ICOD 291300 UTC 29 October. 186-26, 187-26, 188-26, 189-26 and 420\/26 sit after that cut-off. This is not a 182-26 PDF revision. This is not a 404\/26 restoration. This is not a fatality-count move. This is not a Hormuz reopen. Independent tracking colour and NCAGS facilitated-transit colour remain on the unused Update 109 note and on earlier dedicated JMIC files; Saturday\u2019s board does not reprint them.<\/p>\n

Operational implications<\/h2>\n

For CSOs, Saturday afternoon is the first IMO sheet that prints a second confirmed incident against Ghana Prosperity. Charterers, P&I and war-risk underwriters who have been holding the 3 October row as the only IMO print, 404\/26 as a cancelled Musandam caution, and 182-26 as an unnamed disablement can now point to a 23 October IMO row on the same IMO number. They still cannot point to a UKMTO PDF that prints that name. They still cannot point to Update 110. The board\u2019s pollution line is \u201cno pollution.\u201d That is tighter than 182-26, which had no environmental-impact report, and it matches the 3 October row. IMO printed neither a refuge port, a return-to-passage, a wreck, a NAVAREA number, a crew casualty nor an attacker against this second row. A 299,000-dwt crude tanker that now carries two IMO confirmed-incident dates is still a survey, tow, refuge and war-risk problem. \u201cDamaged, no pollution\u201d is not a completed class note and not a cargo-free finding.<\/p>\n

The 122-count is also a reminder of what IMO has not yet taken. Warning 189-26 remains this morning\u2019s dedicated unnamed time-late crude-oil-tanker Attack. Warning 188-26 remains last night\u2019s dedicated unnamed Lavan projectile. Warning 187-26 remains Friday morning\u2019s dedicated unnamed attached-device Attack. Unused 186-26 remains an unnamed CSO Attack. Warning 185-26 remains Thursday\u2019s dedicated unnamed fire 9 nautical miles north of Khasab. Warning 176-26 remains an unnamed LNG tanker Attack off Al Mukalla. RITI remains last night\u2019s dedicated NAVAREA fire-and-anchor. Quba remains Friday morning\u2019s dedicated dhow wreck. One increment from the 114-to-119 jump is still unnamed. A master\u2019s pack that treats 122 as \u201cthe 29\u201330 October tape is now official\u201d will over-read the board. A pack that leaves the 23 October Ghana Prosperity row off the IMO sheet because 182-26 was unnamed will under-read it.<\/p>\n

Replace the 27 October 121-count snapshot. Do not replace Update 109. ICOD remains 291300 UTC 29 October. Do not invent Update 110 because the IMO sheet moved one row after that cut-off. IMO\u2019s 122 is not JMIC\u2019s incident tally on Update 109. Leonora Kosan stays on the sheet as Tuesday\u2019s dedicated Limah print. The 3 October Ghana Prosperity row stays on the sheet as the first confirmed incident against this IMO number. 410\/26 stays the dedicated cancellation of the Musandam caution. 182-26 stays Monday\u2019s dedicated unnamed disablement. Do not recast 31 October afternoon as Update 110, a 182-26 PDF naming, a 404\/26 restoration, a 185-26 through 189-26 conversion, a fatality-count move, a rewrite of Tuesday\u2019s 121-count, a rewrite of this morning\u2019s 189-26 or 775\/26, or a Hormuz reopen.<\/p>\n

What Operators Should Note<\/h2>\n
