India’s DGMA in Mumbai has asked families, RPS agencies, P&I clubs and insurers to share records on 30 unresolved cases of Indian seafarers who died, went missing or were injured abroad between 2013 and 2024. Documents should reach DGMA within 30 days of the 11 November notice.
Six seafarers, including two Indians, remain missing six months after the Bolivian-flagged cargo ships Bridge 1 and Bridge 2 vanished near Iran’s Kish Island in the Persian Gulf in May. India has since cancelled the licence of the Mumbai agency that recruited crew. Families are still waiting for answers.
Six crew are missing after the Thai fuel supply tanker Venus 14 sank in the Gulf of Thailand about 27 nautical miles off Sattahip, Chonburi province, on 11 November. The Royal Thai Navy is searching with a patrol boat and aircraft, and oil-spill teams are on standby.
