The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) confirmed that the ship was intercepted this week after arriving to load a consignment of steel pipes.
For the first time in ten years, companies could attend in person, and the event was livestreamed for the public.
Video footage showed drones approaching the vessel before a series of explosions struck the stern, sending thick smoke over the tanker.
The number rose from 200 in 2024 to 403 by the end of 2025, an increase of more than 100% since the programme began in December 2024.
The vessel has previously been sanctioned by Washington for alleged involvement in Iranian oil trading when it operated under the name Adisa.
Negotiations are ongoing with Belgium and the Netherlands for the acquisition of seven second-hand minelayers.
The vessel was discovered amid collapsed temple columns and statues, indicating it could have gone down as the surrounding structures failed.
The programme builds on earlier testing of a system called “Warp Speed for Warships”, which Palantir and BFA worked on over the summer.
