Following the explosion onboard the Israeli-owned ship Helios Ray, in the Gulf of Oman, the car carrier left Dubai and set sail again.
To remind, the ship was en route to Singapore from Dammam in Saudi Arabia, when hit by an explosion in the Gulf of Oman on February 25.
While the cause of explosion was unclear, initial estimates by maritime security firm Dryad Global suggested that the incident could be the result of asymmetric activity by Iranian military.

However, Israeli Prime Minister blamed Iran for the explosion onboard the car carrier, in the Gulf of Oman, an accusation denied by Tehran. Following the situation, the Helios Ray underwent repairs in Dubai.
Concluding, according to satellite tracking data, the car carrier finished its repairs and left Middle Eastern waters, while is heading to the west coast of India.
