Four Bangladesh Ships in Strait of Hormuz
Although Iran has eased restrictions on vessel movement in the Strait of Hormuz, no Bangladesh-flagged ships have been able to cross the “red zone.” The number of such vessels is 20. Among them, 10 ships carry 146 seafarers and crew members. There are also four Bangladesh-flagged ships in nearby waters, all of whose seafarers and crew are Bangladeshi.
MV Banglar Joyjatra Turns Back While Heading Toward Strait of Hormuz
The state-owned company Bangladesh Shipping Corporation (BSC)’s vessel MV Banglar Joyjatra has left the port of Jebel Ali Port in the United Arab Emirates but has now become stranded with 31 sailors near the port of Sharjah. The vessel’s next destination was the port of Mumbai in India. To reach there, it would have to cross the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. However, due to the ongoing war situation, ship movement through this crucial waterway has effectively been suspended. Although the vessel had set sail to proceed, members of the UAE Coast Guard advised it not to travel through the route at this moment.
