US EditionThree Crew Members 'Believed Trapped' Aboard Thai Ship Attacked in Gulf: Shipping Firm
The attack by Iran's Revolutionary Guards follows regional tensions and left 20 sailors rescued while three remain trapped, according to Precious Shipping.
- On March 12 Precious Shipping said three crew members remained trapped and unrescued after the Thai bulk carrier Mayuree Naree was struck in the Strait of Hormuz on March 11.
- Following late-February U.S. and Israeli strikes, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on March 11 they struck ships in the strait after they ignored 'warnings'.
- Two projectiles struck the ship's engine room, causing a fire, and the Omani navy rescued 20 sailors on March 11 while all 23 crew members were Thai.
- Bangkok has formally protested the violence and ordered all Thai vessels out of the Strait of Hormuz, while Khalid Hashim said crews still could not board despite the extinguished fire and assured, 'Please be assured that we are on a mission to find the missing three'.
- The Strait of Hormuz usually carries a fifth of global oil supplies, and these strikes have threatened shipping and plunged the global energy economy into crisis amid broader Middle East hostilities.
