Mysterious ‘Zombie’ Ship Spotted Crossing Strait of Hormuz
A mysterious “zombie” ship—posing as a scrapped LNG carrier—was reported crossing the Strait of Hormuz on March 20 amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East.
The vessel, identified as “Jamal,” reportedly matches the details of a tanker that had already been dismantled in India in October 2025. This unusual development has raised concerns over maritime tracking and ship identity manipulation.
Experts note that this is the first known instance of a so-called “zombie” ship transiting the region since hostilities began, highlighting potential risks to global shipping security.
