IMO identifies Minoan Dignity in fatal Hormuz strike

UKMTO said an unknown projectile struck an outbound vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, damaging its engine room. The International Maritime Organization identified the vessel as Minoan Dignity and recorded one seafarer killed, no pollution, and assistance to the remaining crew from the Omani Coast Guard.

Why this matters. The IMO record turns the initial casualty notice into a confirmed fatal maritime attack with a named ship, sharpening the human and insurance consequences of the continuing transit risk.
