Thirty-eight Indian flagged ships, mostly carrying crude and LNG with nearly 1,100 seafarers, were stuck in the Persian Gulf on Tuesday amid the conflict in West Asia, APA reports, citing The Times of India.
Shipping authorities here also confirmed the death of three Indian sailors and injury to one on board foreign-flagged vessels in "attacks" off the Oman port.
There are around 23,000 Indian seafarers on different ships in the conflict-hit region at any given time and their safety remains the government's priority, officials said. India is the third largest supplier of seafarers after the Philippines and China.
