Hormuz, Gulf of Oman and Gulf designated “warlike operations area” by maritime sector: statement

The maritime sector on Thursday said it had designated the Straits of Hormuz, Gulf of Oman and Gulf as a “warlike operations area” owing to the Iran war.

The upgrade from a “high risk area designation” by unions and maritime employers on March 2 “reflects the continuing and heightened threat to seafarers and vessels operating in the region”, they said in a joint statement.
