Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 10/04/20263/10 We’ve actually seen this before. During COVID, crews were stuck onboard and relief crews couldn’t travel. But we built a system: Global coordination Travel corridors Exemptions It wasn’t perfect, but it worked. 171
Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 10/04/20264/10 Today, we haven’t done that. Ships are anchored Routes are uncertain Flights to and from the Gulf States are intermittent at best Insurance is strained Relief crews are hesitant to enter a war zone (rightly so) So instead of moving crews, we’re managing endurance. 191
Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 10/04/20265/10 There’s also a hard reality here that people miss. Seafarers are only paid when they’re onboard. So ask yourself: How much would it take for you to join a ship right now, in a mined waterway, in an active conflict zone? That’s the relief problem. #Shipping #Seafarers #Hormuz 182
