The Orissa High Court has ordered the repatriation of 23 seafarers from the detained tanker Unity, recognizing them as abandoned due to unpaid wages and lack of provisions. The court highlighted the urgency of their disembarkation within three weeks, referencing India’s Merchant Shipping Act and the Maritime Labour Convention for guidance.
India has successfully ensured the safe passage of 60 merchant vessels through the crucial Strait of Hormuz, amid ongoing regional tensions. This achievement underscores India’s commitment to maritime security. Additionally, nearly 4,000 Indian seafarers have been repatriated, reflecting the government’s dedication to safeguarding its citizens in volatile environments.
