Oman's maritime security department warned fishermen and seafarers on Friday via social media to stay away from containers scattered from a sunken container ship in the Strait of Hormuz, stating that these containers, belonging to the GFS Pride, may contain "dangerous materials." The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said on Wednesday that the Singapore-flagged small container ship GFS Pride sank on Tuesday after being damaged and catching fire while transiting the strait.
