The Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) says 81 Filipino seafarers on four Philippine-registered vessels have safely passed through the Strait of Hormuz and left the Persian Gulf region. In a statement issued on Saturday, the DFA reports that the seafarers are now safe and have resumed their normal seafaring duties, with some taking the opportunity to return to their families. The vessels involved are MV Western Doncaster, MV Vivian Trader, MV Lyng Trader, and MV Eva Fuji. According to the DFA, the ships complete their transit through the Strait of Hormuz between June 24 and July 1. The DFA’s update focuses on the status of the crew after the vessels move out of the area, indicating there are no reported safety incidents involving the seafarers during the transit period described. The reports are consistent across outlets, citing the same DFA statement and the same list of vessels and crew count.
