UN Maritime Agency to Evacuate More Than 11,000 Seafarers Stranded in the Strait of Hormuz
The International Maritime Organization, a United Nations agency, said it will launch an evacuation operation for thousands of stranded seafarers in the Strait of Hormuz. The plan covers more than 11,000 sailors who are stuck in the area.
The organization said the effort comes amid the war with Iran, during which 14 seafarers were killed in attacks. No further details were provided on the timing or logistics of the evacuation.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical shipping route, and the move is aimed at getting the trapped mariners out of the conflict zone. The agency did not specify which countries the seafarers are from or when the operation will begin.
