A CMA CGM container ship struck by a missile in the Strait of Hormuz in early May is so badly damaged that the French shipping group may send it for scrapping, its chief executive says according to Reuters.
The attack on the CMA CGM San Antonio injured several members of the crew, who were evacuated.
“It was so damaged that we’re wondering whether we should send it for scrapping,” CMA CGM’s Chairman and CEO Rodolphe Saade told a business conference in southern France.
After being stranded in the strait for weeks, the San Antonio has been escorted to safety, he added, without giving further details.
