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.
