The vessel, severely damaged on March 9, 2026, in an attack by Ukrainian Magura unmanned naval vehicles in the Eastern Mediterranean, is currently anchored off the east coast of Libya. Local authorities have effectively taken control of the ghost ship, which remained crewless and half-submerged at sea for two months following the incident.

According to satellite imagery and maritime tracking sources, the tanker has been stable at approximately 18 nautical miles northeast of Benghazi for several days. This move could potentially end the tanker's prolonged drift, although it remains unclear how local authorities intend to handle the severely damaged vessel. There are reports that Libya may expropriate it and all its contents as no-man's land, gCaptain reports.

Immediately after the attack on March 9, it was reported that the vessel had lost propulsion and caught fire. The crew was evacuated by Greek forces. Initially, attempts were made to tow the burning tanker to international waters closer to the center of the Mediterranean, but it was ultimately towed to the shores of Libya, which is known to be divided by internal conflict.
