In a statement on X, TankerTrackers said that such recordings make their way throughout the maritime grapevine, usually over WhatsApp. TankerTrackers said that it verified that the AIS movements of Sanmar Herald corroborate the timing of that audio.Also read | Two Indian ships allowed to pass through Strait of Hormuz amid Iran-US war“Sepah Navy!
