Indian Authorities Address Safety and Repatriation of Seafarers Amid Regional Security Concerns
Indian authorities are actively working to ensure the safety and welfare of Indian seafarers amid security threats in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Indian Ocean regions. Two vessels, M.T. Sibu 1 and M V LUTUF, were hijacked recently, with Indian crew members reported safe. Separately, seven Indian seafarers stranded on MV Sea Star 2 in Abu Dhabi have been repatriated, while efforts continue for the remaining crew amid concerns over unpaid wages and withheld documents, as highlighted by the Federation of Seafarers' Unions of India.
