DUBAI, Feb 10 (Reuters) - An oil tanker on fire off the coast of Dubai was carrying around 30,000 tonnes of oil condensates from Iran to the United Arab Emirates, two industry sources said on Tuesday.

The oil tanker, which is called the Kashmir, has a capacity of around 45,000 tonnes, ship brokers said. It was not immediately clear how much damage had been done to the ship or its load.

Condensates are light oils prized by refiners and petrochemical firms.
