The MV Adalynn was engulfed in flames after colliding with another tanker, suspected to be the MV Front Eagle, just south of the Strait of Hormuz earlier today, as per local reports.

All 24 crew on board the Adalynn were quickly and safely evacuated with neither vessel dealing with any casualties or major injuries.

The collision is said to have been caused by a simple navigation error as the pair of ships passed through the Khor Fakkan anchorage near Fujairah.

The 900ft Adalynn is registered in Antigua and Barbuda and is reportedly owned by Global Shipping Holding Ltd.

It was sailing without cargo towards the Suez Canal in Egypt, say reports.

The area where the fiery crash took place has been embroiled in a surge of GPS related interference fears in recent months.

The UK-based Maritime Trade Operations monitor said on Tuesday there was no evidence that any hostile activity caused the tanker collision.

But they did warn all vessels going through the region to take care and use caution.

The situation has heightened in recent days amid the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel.

The Strait of Hormuz, the narrow Persian Gulf maritime gateway, is currently under Iranian control.

Iran has issued threats to entirely block the strait to foreign vessels, a move that could significantly impact global oil and gas supply routes.

It comes as a major fireball collison sparked fears of international interference after a cargo ship collided with an oil tanker in the North Sea.

Stunning video captured a huge explosion when the Portuguese-flagged Solong crashed into the stationary Stena Immaculate off Hull’s coast in March.

Cops have arrested the Russian captain of the Portuguese-flagged cargo ship on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.

The US tanker – chartered by the military – was carrying 200,000 tonnes of jet fuel to be used in American warplanes.

It comes after balmy pro-Vladimir Putin propagandists have claimed British spies staged the incident in a wild conspiracy theory.
