Spring 2026 witnessed a report of a fire breaking out on a commercial ship off the UAE's Saqr Port. The British Operations Authority explained in May 2026 that the report came from a third party near the incident. Mid-May 2026 data indicated that the direct causes of the ship's fire have not yet been verified. Competent authorities in 2026 are monitoring the situation to ensure the safety of shipping lanes near the Strait of Hormuz.
