Supertanker Acheloos Struck By Missile In Strait Of Hormuz
Marisk, a maritime-risk consultant, reports the missile hit the ship's steering gear compartment, crippling its ability to maneuver.
- The Acheloos is a crude oil supertanker managed by Dynacom Oil Tankers, a Greek operator.
- The missile struck the steering gear compartment, the system that controls the rudder.
- Marisk, a maritime risk consultant, reported the strike on July 20, 2026.
Why it matters: Insurers reprice war risk the instant a missile hits a rudder compartment, not when a government confirms it.
