The LNG carrier Al Mayeda was hit by "unidentified objects" in the Gulf on Friday evening, its owner said. The Qatar Gas Transport Company disclosed the attack in a statement on Sunday.
No crew members were injured, the company said.
No environmental damage was reported.
The company says the vessel remains safe and operational.
The statement was published through the Qatar Stock Exchange.
Why it matters: The company has not said who or what struck the ship. That leaves the source of the attack unexplained.
The owner provides towage and marine support to Qatari ports and terminals.
Left coverage, 17 sources: The left frames the story around the owner's account: an unexplained strike on a Qatari tanker that caused no injuries and no environmental damage.
