A Greek-owned and Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier that came under attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels earlier this week had a cargo of grain bound for Iran.
Initially after the attack, the Laax had listed its destination as Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates. On Thursday, however, its listed destination instead appeared to be Bandar Khomeini, Iran.
Hmm.
Is it possible that they just diverted as a result of the attack? I mean, they got attacked and the ship was damaged. That’s not business as usual. That might have affected the delivery schedule or other things that might affect the destination. It might mean that they wanted to head to a port that could do some kind of repair work.

Iranian shipyards are well respected in the shipping industry for fast but thorough repair work. If you can make it there, of course!
Good point, a sad part of today’s jornalism is that I don’t trust a journalist to have checked that before publishing. :/
