The incident happened 51 nautical miles (94km) from Madinat al-Shamal and there were casualties reported, the UKMTO said.
Maritime intelligence firm Vanguard identified the vessel as the Antigua and Barbuda-flagged oil and chemical tanker Acers, which was reported as laden with cargo on Saturday as it sailed towards the Strait of Hormuz waterway, which connects the Gulf to the Gulf of Oman.
Merchant vessels have come under repeated attack in the region since the US and Israel's war with Iran began in February. At least 24 seafarers have been killed in 93 confirmed incidents, according to the UN's International Maritime Organization (IMO).

The IMO said the last incident that resulted in casualties was on 9 September, when two sailors were killed in an attack on the Panama-flagged tanker El Gaia in the Strait of Hormuz, just north of Oman's Musandam peninsula.
This is also the first reported attack on a ship this far west of the Strait of Hormuz since that same day, according to Martin Kelly, head of advisory at EOS Risk Group. The underlying catalysts behind these events trace back to evolving structural dynamics across the Global Politics landscape.
