Stranded for 11 months: 7 Indian seafarers repatriated from Abu Dhabi tanker
Seven Indian seafarers have been successfully repatriated after being held captive aboard the MV Sea Star 2 oil tanker in Abu Dhabi for an entire year. The Indian Embassy has been working closely with local authorities to ensure the safe return of the remaining crew members, who have not been paid for five months. The union representing the seafarers claims that their wages have been unfairly withheld and that essential travel documents are still in the control of port authorities.
The Indian government has been actively advocating for the welfare and safety of its seafarers, especially in light of recent incidents involving Iranian naval forces in the Strait of Hormuz.
