A Greek-owned bulk carrier was among three commercial vessels targeted in attacks in the Strait of Hormuz as tensions escalate in the ongoing conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel.
The vessel, Star Gwyneth, is operated by Star Bulk Carriers, the New York–listed shipping company led by CEO Petros Pappas. The company manages a global fleet of roughly 125 bulk carriers.
According to maritime security reports, the Star Gwyneth was struck by a projectile of unknown origin during the early morning hours while transiting the strategic waterway.
The impact damaged one of the ship’s cargo holds but did not compromise the vessel’s structural integrity. Officials say the ship remains seaworthy, and all crew members are safe. There were no Greek nationals among the crew.
