The UN body has worked with Iran, Oman, and other coastal states, as well as US and industry to develop the evacuation plan through the Strait of Hormuz
The latest news and commentary on how the US/Israel-Iran conflict is affecting the global maritime industry and shipping markets. The UN body has worked with Iran, Oman, and other coastal states, as well as US and industry to develop the evacuation plan through the Strait of Hormuz June 24, 2026 International Maritime Organization (IMO)Secretary General, Arsenio Dominguez, has paid tribute to the 14 seafarers who paid the ultimate price in the Persian Gulf conflict and has initiated an evacuation plan for the 11,000 stranded sea personnel still stranded there. In a statement that will lift the hearts of stranded seafarers in the Gulf, the Secretary General declared that a large-scale evacuation plan will be put in place to rescue the 11,000 innocent seafarers who have now spent 115 days trapped in Gulf waters. No fewer than 14 of their number perished at the hands of the warring factions, leaving families and dependents in many countries totally bereft. Yesterday, the Secretary General declared: “After months of hardship and distress for thousands of innocent seafarers, and negative impact for the whole world, I welcome with deep satisfaction the peace agreement concluded between the United States and Iran, marking a decisive step towards restoring maritime security and bringing to an end the unacceptable attacks against civilian shipping.” Related:Seafarer lives pawns of war and propaganda in Hormuz He went on to say that the evacuation plan will be carried out in close cooperation with Iran,Oman, all other coastal states in the region, the US, and the maritime industry. “We have secured the necessary safety guarantees and have thoroughly verified the conditions for safe navigation to support these operations. We remain fully committed to ensuring the safety of seafarers and the continuity of global trade,” he said. The UKMTO said it was supporting the IMO initiative to evacuate seafarers. “The IMO is working with industry organisations, coastal states and regional partners to develop a prioritised approach to the safe and orderly movement of vessels. This includes the IMO-led identification of vessels for potential phased departure and the provision of associated information to support decision-making,” an advisory from UKMTO said. As part of the process the UKMTO will be acting as a neutral party to notify vessels of their inclusion in IMO batch planning. It said all decisions on vessel movement and routing will remain with the vessel Master and participation in the scheme is voluntary. Commenting on the IMO initiative anInternational Chamber of Shipping (ICS)spokesperson said: “The IMO evacuation plan is a welcome development to delivering this coordination and restoring freedom of navigation. It is vital this plan works in harmony, rather than conflicting, with existing mechanisms. “We will continue to work with the IMO and industry partners to ensure the safety and security of shipping seeking to exit the region.” Related:The psychological toll on seafarers trapped in the Strait of Hormuz As many as 20,000 seafarers were estimated to be stranded when no ships were moving. They suffered untold hardship, with food and fresh water in limited supply. Auxiliary fuel shortages meant air conditioning systems were not fully functional and some communication links with family and friends were limited or simply not available. But, worst of all, was the mental torture as they sought to shield far-away loved ones from the worst aspects of their miserable existence and the very real possibility that they might never see them again.
