Recent attacks and accidents involving oil tankers in strategic locations such as the Strait of Hormuz and Taganrog have raised concerns about regional security and energy.
A series of incidents involving oil tankers has drawn international attention, including a tanker crash causing a hazardous material spill in South Baltimore, a fire at Russia's Ilsky oil refinery following drone attacks, and a tanker set ablaze in the Strait of Hormuz after being struck by a projectile amid US-Iran confrontations.
