Iran Conflict 2026Background
GFS Pride was a Singapore-flagged container ship with capacity for 2,824 twenty-foot equivalent units. Built in 2008, it carried International Maritime Organization number 9349045. Coral Navigation Pte Ltd was its registered owner, while UAE-based GFS Ship Management FZE managed the vessel.
A projectile struck the ship in the strait of Hormuz on 13 October 2026. It caught fire and sank the next day. All 21 crew members escaped without injury, according to Singapore’s Maritime and Port Authority. The International Maritime Organization counted GFS Pride as the third commercial vessel sunk during the Iran war. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards attributed the loss to a naval mine, but no Independent evidence established the weapon responsible. The vessel’s identity and fate are confirmed; the cause remains disputed.
