UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO)
A British body that monitors and reports maritime incidents, especially in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, and is a key source of warnings to ships.
UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) is a Royal Navy-affiliated body that collects information on incidents involving commercial vessels and issues maritime warnings. It acts as a liaison between ships and military authorities in the region, and publishes reports on attacks or incidents in sensitive maritime corridors such as the Strait of Hormuz. It gains particular importance during regional tensions because its reports are used to assess navigation and insurance risks.
