Summary
A July 28 satellite image shows an oil slick next to the sanctioned vessel Caroline Bezengi off Oman's Dhofar Governorate, according to a Reuters-published file photo.
Planet Labs captured the image, which places the slick directly alongside the ship and makes the vessel the focus of the apparent spill.
The report identifies Caroline Bezengi as a sanctioned vessel but provides no immediate explanation for the slick, no estimate of its size and no official response from Omani authorities.
Off Oman, any sign of a spill near a sanctioned tanker can draw scrutiny because the waters are a key route for regional oil shipments.
