IMO Prepares Evacuation Plan for Hundreds of Stranded Ships in Persian Gulf
The International Maritime Organization is preparing an evacuation plan for hundreds of ships stranded in the Persian Gulf for more than seven weeks following US and Israeli strikes on Iran. Secretary General Arsenio Dominguez said the plan will only be activated when there are clear signs of de-escalation, with vessel departures prioritized by crew conditions. The IMO is in touch with littoral states including Iran and Oman to finalize the blueprint.
