The International Maritime Organization said at least 20 seafarers and port workers were killed, 35 wounded and one is missing in 68 confirmed maritime incidents in the Gulf and nearby waters over six months of war; UKMTO classed 47 of them as attacks, and about half involved tankers.
Why it matters
The IMO data show incidents rising again to about one every 2.8 days since talks collapsed in early July, close to the pace before the June framework.
