‘Mental breakdown’: oil tanker workers stuck in Gulf for six weeks are reaching their limit
Oil tanker crews have been stranded for six weeks in the Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz due to safety concerns from ongoing conflict, including missile attacks and mines, leading to severe mental health issues and many refusing to sail. Unions report widespread inquiries from seafarers seeking repatriation or relief, while shipping companies face pressure to replace unwilling crews with those accepting hazardous duty pay.
