TEHRAN, April 16 (Bernama-MNA) -- The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) said that nearly 20,000 seafarers and around 2,000 ships have been stuck in the Strait of Hormuz, Mehr News Agency (MNA) reported.
The IMO is preparing emergency plans to evacuate nearly 20,000 seafarers and around 2,000 ships stuck in the Strait of Hormuz, media reported on Wednesday.
IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez said the evacuation cannot happen all at once, as it will need careful coordination between countries, especially because the Strait is only about 30 kilometres wide and safety risks remain high.
