IMB begins Strait of Hormuz sailor evacuations
The International Maritime Organization has announced the commencement of the evacuation of over 11,000 sailors stranded in the Gulf due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz caused by the war in the Middle East. The operation will be carried out in cooperation with Iran, Oman, and other neighboring countries, after assessing the conditions for safe navigation. This comes after maritime traffic through the strait experienced a rebound following Iran and the United States agreeing to reopen the vital shipping passage, whose closure during the war had led to rising oil prices and the disruption of essential shipments. The organization continues to issue daily reports on ships leaving the area safely.
