March 5 (Reuters) - The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said it had received a report of an incident 30 nautical miles southeast of Kuwait's Mubarak Al Kabeer.
The master of a tanker at anchor reported hearing and seeing a large explosion on the port side before observing a small craft leaving the area, it said.
Oil was seen in the water from a cargo tank, potentially causing environmental impact, and the vessel had taken on water. All crew were safe, UKMTO added.
