据印度驻阿曼大使馆消息,一艘悬挂科威特国旗的油轮在冲突频发的霍尔木兹海峡遭到物体撞击后,船上的5名印度籍船员被安全转移至岸上。印度驻马斯喀特大使馆于当地时间周五在社交平台X上发文称,涉事油轮为“MT Kazimah III”。文中写道:“今日,大使馆协调完成了对悬挂科威特国旗的‘MT Kazimah III’号油轮上5名印度籍船员的营救工作,该船此前在霍尔木兹海峡遭物体撞击。”
Five Indian nationals aboard a Kuwait-flagged tanker were safely shifted ashore after the vessel was hit by a projectile in the conflict-hit Strait of Hormuz, according to the Indian embassy in Oman. In a post on X on Friday (local time), India's Embassy in Muscat identified the tanker as MT Kazimah III." Earlier today, the Mission coordinated rescue of five Indian nationals on board the Kuwait-flagged tanker MT Kazimah III, struck by a projectile in the Strait of Hormuz," the post read. It added, "All 5 Indian nationals have been shifted ashore safely.
大使馆还补充道:“目前5名印度船员均已安全上岸。我们衷心感谢阿曼当局给予的持续支持与协助。”商船频遭袭击当前中东地区冲突不断,霍尔木兹海峡、阿曼湾、红海、亚丁湾、曼德海峡及黑海等多个海域的商船与海员正面临日益严峻的安全风险。大量印度海员服务于在上述区域航行或途经此处的印度籍及外国籍商船,因此也面临着相应的海上安全威胁。
We thank the Omani authorities for their continued support and assistance."MERCHANT SHIPPING UNDER ATTACKAmid the various global conflicts currently affecting the Middle East, merchant shipping and seafarers are facing increased risks in several areas, including the Strait of Hormuz, Gulf of Oman, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Bab-el-Mandeb and Black Sea.A significant number of Indian seafarers serve onboard both Indian-flagged and foreign-flagged commercial ships operating in or transiting through the aforementioned regions, exposing them to associated maritime security risks.
本周早些时候,印度外交部发言人兰迪尔·贾伊什瓦尔透露,目前有超过4500名印度海员在波斯湾地区各类商船上任职,其中包括12艘货轮上的163名印度籍船员。
Earlier this week, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that more than 4,500 Indian seafarers are currently serving aboard various merchant ships operating in the Persian Gulf, including 163 Indian nationals on 12 active cargo vessels.
上个月,印度借助联合国大会这一平台,对海湾地区冲突背景下商船及海员屡遭袭击的现象表达了关切。印度外交部长S·贾伊尚卡尔在联合国大会第81届高级别会议一般性辩论发言时指出:“今年,海湾地区爆发了新的冲突,使得本就严峻的局势进一步恶化。我们对持续发生的敌对行动深感忧虑。”——文末(综合多家通讯社报道)
Last month, India used the UN General Assembly platform to raise concerns over the targeting of commercial shipping and seafarers amid the ongoing conflict in the Gulf." This year, we are witnessing a conflict in the Gulf, one that is exacerbating an already difficult situation. We remain deeply concerned over continuing hostilities," External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had said in his address to the General Debate at the high-level 81st session of the UN General Assembly.- Ends(With inputs from agencies)
