The evacuation plan, supported by both Iran and the United States, will allow seafarers to exit through the Strait of Hormuz using two temporary maritime corridors. IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez confirmed that safety guarantees have been secured for this operation, which involves cooperation from Iran, Oman, and other coastal states.
Due to safety concerns, particularly regarding potential mines laid by Iran, the traditional shipping lanes are currently deemed unsafe. Ships will receive individual instructions for their departure, indicating a structured approach to ensure the safety of the seafarers during this operation.
This development is crucial as it highlights ongoing tensions in the region and the importance of safe maritime navigation
