The conflict in the Middle East continues to disrupt shipping across the region, including in the strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s busiest maritime routes.
Iran state TV has reported that seven oil tankers were damaged in the Straight of Hormuz on Wednesday night. There has been an increase in the number of attacks on ships in recent days; some vessels have been hit by drones, others by mines.
We would like to hear from maritime workers, port staff and shipping crews or families aboard ships affected by the conflict. What is happening in the Strait of Hormuz? How is the situation affecting your work? We would also like to speak to friends or family of those on board. What are you hearing? How are they coping?
