Warship Escorting BP's Oil Tanker Is U.K.'s Only One in Area
(Bloomberg) -- The HMS Montrose, the naval vessel that protected a BP Plc oil tanker as it passed through the Strait of Hormuz, is the U.K.’s only warship in the area, according to Britain’s Ministry of Defence.

BP was concerned it could be a target for Iran after British Royal Marines helped to seize a tanker transporting the Persian Gulf country’s crude in the Mediterranean Sea. The master and chief officer of that ship have been arrested, Gibraltar’s government said Thursday.Here are responses from the MoD to questions from Bloomberg:Question: For how long has HMS Montrose been in the area? Answer: HMS Montrose has been in the Gulf since late 2018.Q: Was it there to escort vessels through Strait of Hormuz? A: HMS Montrose was in the area providing a maritime security role.Q: Was it an Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps vessels? Or some other Iranian entity? A: IRGC vessels.Q: Where did the confrontation happen? (nearest city on the Iranian side/landfall?)
