The Hindu·Wednesday, 24 June 2026
The International Maritime Organization and Oman announced a plan to evacuate ships and 11,000 seafarers stranded in the Persian Gulf. The operation involves cooperation from the US, Iran, Oman, and other coastal states. IMO says it has secured safety guarantees and verified conditions for safe navigation.
Why It Matters
India is one of the world's largest suppliers of merchant seafarers, meaning a significant number of those 11,000 stranded crew members are likely Indian nationals.
