All crew are safe and well, the UKMTO said.
This is the second report of a vessel hit in or near the Persian Gulf overnight. A vessel was reportedly struck off the coast of the United Arab Emirates near the Strait of Hormuz late Wednesday, according to the UKMTO, which has responsibility for the region.
