UN Maritime Agency Head: Evacuating 20,000 Seafarers from Persian Gulf Too Risky

The head of the UN's maritime agency stated that evacuating 20,000 seafarers stranded in the Persian Gulf remains too risky due to ongoing conflict, despite a ceasefire. Arsenio Dominguez of the IMO highlighted that crew safety is not guaranteed, with 11 seafarers killed since February 28. Efforts to establish safe passage are ongoing, but the volatile situation in the Strait of Hormuz prevents immediate action.
