The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries has responded to concerns raised by the families of crew members following reports about the situation in the Hormuz Strait. The ministry stated that since the blockade began on February 28, it has been operating a 24-hour emergency response team to manage the ongoing situation. Additionally, since March 3, the ministry has established an 'emergency consultation and communication channel' for crew members and their families, providing round-the-clock phone and email support to address their concerns.
The ministry emphasized that it has been working as a unified team with other government departments, shipping companies, and labor unions to ensure the safety of the crew and vessels since the outbreak of the conflict.
This response follows a report published on June 30, which highlighted the frustrations of the families regarding the government's communication and support efforts.
