Iranian forces appear to have deliberately targeted at least two civilian commercial ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz on March 11, 2026, which would amount to war crimes. Between March 1 and 17, the UN confirmed 17 incidents of damage to commercial vessels in the region. The attacks, as well as the threat of attacks, also appear to have contributed to significant global cost increases in energy, which may also result in cost increases in food and other critical sectors, to the detriment of people’s rights.Iran, the United States, and Israel should all immediately end unlawful attacks on civilians and civilian objects.(Beirut, March 24, 2026) – Iranian forces appear to have deliberately targeted at least two civilian commercial ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz on March 11, 2026, which would amount to war crimes, Human Rights Watch said today. The attacks, and threat of attack, may also contribute to significant global cost increases in energy, food, and other critical sectors, to the detriment of people’s rights.“Deliberately targeting civilian ships and their crew members is a war crime,” said Niku Jafarnia, Middle East and North Africa researcher at Human Rights Watch. “War crimes do not justify further war crimes, and Iran, the United States, and Israel should all immediately end unlawful attacks on civilians and civilian objects and should stop attempting to frame these objects as legitimate targets.”Starting on March 1, Iranian forces reportedly began attacking commercial ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz in response to US and Israeli attacks on Iran, according to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a United Nations agency. On March 11, Ebrahim Zofaghari, a spokesperson for Iran’s armed forces, said in a speech that if the United States and Israel continued to carry out attacks on Iran, Iranian forces would not allow “one liter of oil” through the strait. Arsenio Dominquez, the IMO secretary-general, stated on March 6: “Around 20,000 seafarers remain stranded in the Persian Gulf, on board ships under heightened risk and considerable mental strain.” Human Rights Watch documented the apparent deliberate targeting of two commercial ships, the Safesea Vishnu and the Mayuree Naree, on March 11 through statements made by Iranian authorities claiming these attacks; photographs and videos posted online of the direct aftermath of the attacks and, in the case of the Safesea Vishnu, the apparent moment of attack; and data gathered by the IMO.Between March 1 and 17, the IMO confirmed 17 incidents of damage to commercial vessels from 16 apparent attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf, and the Gulf of Oman. It also reported that seven seafarers and one shipyard worker had been killed, four seafarers were missing, and ten people were injured, five severely. An IMO representative told Human Rights Watch that the organization receives data from authorities such as the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), the Joint Maritime Information Centre (JMIC), and the Maritime Security Centre Indian Ocean (MSCIO). It said that the organization directly verifies information it receives with the vessels’ flag states to document attacks. It said the organization was unable to confirm who was responsible for the 16 attacks. However, the IMO Council adopted a decision on March 19 in which they “strongly condemned the threats and attacks against vessels and purported closure of the Strait of Hormuz by the Islamic Republic of Iran.” Human Rights Watch identified all the vessels included by the IMO in vessel tracking websites and was able to corroborate that they were civilian commercial vessels with civilian crews. In some cases, Human Rights Watch identified their location at the time of the attack. In addition to corroborating attacks on the Safesea Vishnu and Mayuree Naree, researchers corroborated attacks on two other vessels—Skylight and Safeen Prestige—through photographs and videos posted online as well as online statements made by government and military entities, along with a third vessel—the MKD Vyom—by statements alone. In these three cases, Human Rights Watch could not confirm who was responsible for the attacks.One-quarter of the world’s “seaborne oil trade” travels through the Strait of Hormuz. Since the conflict began, the price of crude oil has risen by 40 percent, according to the New York Times. The International Energy Agency has stated: “The war in the Middle East is creating the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market.” On March 16, Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naini, a spokesman for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) who was reportedly killed in an Israeli strike on March 20, stated that Iranian forces had targeted all vessels owned by a US or Israeli entity, regardless of their flag country. He did not indicate whether he was referring to military or civilian vessels, or both. The Joint Maritime Information Center stated on March 11 that while some of the vessels that had been struck since March 1 had “potential Western commercial associations…multiple attacks have involved vessels with no confirmed affiliation to US or Israeli ownership.” Lloyd’s List Intelligence, a maritime data and intelligence company, reported that some vessels have continued to pass through the strait between March 1 and 18 and noted: “Shadow fleet vessels [ships engaging in illegal operations for the purposes of circumventing sanctions] carrying Iranian oil and gas account for most transits through the Strait of Hormuz.”Human Rights Watch wrote to Iranian authorities on March 18 seeking clarification about the attacks but did not receive a response.Iranian authorities, in statements they made pertaining to the two ships they claimed to have targeted—the Safesea Vishnu and Mayuree Naree—did not state that the vessels were military objects, nor did they present any evidence to demonstrate that anything on board the ships could have constituted military objects. Under international humanitarian law, it is forbidden in any circumstance to carry out direct attacks against civilians and civilian objects, and warring parties are obligated to take all feasible precautions to avoid harm to civilians and civilian objects. Civilian vessels with commercial ties to the United States or Israel remain civilian objects. Warring parties must take all necessary action to verify that targets are military objectives. A person who commits serious violations of the laws of war with criminal intent—that is, intentionally or recklessly—may be prosecuted for war crimes. Individuals may also be held criminally liable for assisting in, facilitating, aiding, or abetting a war crime.The effects of global fossil fuel dependence, and its connections to concentrated corporate power and authoritarian governments, are increasingly evident, Human Rights watch said. A just transition to renewable energy is an environmental and geopolitical urgency now more than ever. This requires concomitant efforts to provide universal access to public services such as social security, education, and health care to guarantee everyone’s rights and accelerate the transition.“Iranian forces’ attacks on civilian ships in the Strait of Hormuz will result in harm to some of the most socioeconomically disadvantaged people across the globe,” Jafarnia said. “Iranian forces should immediately end these attacks, rescue the remaining three crew members aboard the Mayuree Naree, and release any seafarers they have detained.” For details of the documented attacks on two vessels, further details about the others, and IRGC statements, please see below. March 11 Iranian Attacks on ShipsOn March 11, the Safesea Vishnu, an oil tanker, was “struck by an unknown projectile,” according to the UKMTO. The last signal sent from the ship was received by the vessel-tracking website Marine Traffic at 10:01 p.m. local time. On March 12, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Iran’s official state news agency, published a statement from the IRGC that confirmed that the Safesea Vishnu “had been hit in the northern Persian Gulf after failing to comply with and ignoring the warnings of the IRGC Navy.”One of the crew members was killed in the attack, the IMO said. It also reported that another oil tanker, the Zefyros, caught fire in the same incident. The two vessels were next to each other within Iraqi territorial waters approximately 50 nautical miles southeast of Basra, according to measurements taken from vessel-tracking websites. Human Rights Watch analyzed three videos posted to X by different accounts on March 12, with the earliest posted at 12:32 a.m. One of the videos, filmed from a nearby vessel, shows two large explosions on the Safesea Vishnu, seconds apart. Those filming from the nearby vessel claim to be the IRGC Navy and say that they have destroyed a US ship in the Persian Gulf. The Safesea Vishnu is engulfed in flames. This video supports accounts by Reuters from the US owner and operator of the vessel that two explosive-laden, unmanned boats rammed the vessel. Another video shows firefighters spraying the Safesea Vishnu with water from a nearby boat. The BBC published a video filmed in daylight that shows the vessel tilting to one side considerably damaged.  The New York Times reported that, according to Iraq’s oil export authority, “[t]he two vessels were used by Iraq for its own oil transport.” The news outlet added that “[s]enior Iraqi officials said that one of the vessels, flying the flag of the Marshall Islands, was owned by an American company.” On the same day, three other vessels—One Majesty, a Japanese-flagged container vessel, and two bulk carriers, the Marshall Islands-flagged Star Gwyneth and the Thai-flagged Mayuree Naree—were attacked in the strait, the IMO said. The Royal Thai Navy spokesperson said in a statement that the navy had received an initial report that “two projectiles of unknown origin” had struck the Mayuree Naree as it sailed into the Strait of Hormuz after departing from the UAE. The statement said that the Omani navy had rescued 20 of the vessel’s 23 crew members, which the Omani Maritime Security Center confirmed. On March 18, the Royal Thai Navy reported that the ship had moved from Omani to Iranian territorial waters. Three crew members reportedly remain on board the seriously damaged vessel.Photographs taken by rescued crew members circulating online show the superstructure emitting large columns of black smoke. One photograph shows damage to the hull of the boat near the propeller that is consistent with an explosion. The day the three ships were reportedly attacked, Tasnim News, affiliated with the IRGC, posted a statement on its Telegram channel at 3:36 p.m. stating that the Mayuree Naree was “shelled by Iranian fighters hours ago after ignoring the warnings of the IRGC Navy and illegally insisting on passing through the Strait of Hormuz.”Alireza Tangsiri, commander of the IRGC naval forces, posted on X the same day at 3:50 p.m. local time that the crew of the Mayuree Naree had “ignored [Iranian authorities’] warnings and intended to pass through the strait but was caught.” He added that “[a]ny vessel intending to pass [the Strait of Hormuz] must obtain permission from #Iran.” Both statements included claims that Iranian forces had also attacked another ship, the Express Rome, a ship not listed by the IMO as having been attacked. On March 19, Human Rights Watch received confirmation from Danaos Shipping, the owners of Express Rome, that the ship had not been hit or compromised in any way and that its crew is safe. According to media reports from March 20, a Nepali Ministry of Foreign Affairs official stated that Iranian authorities had “taken one Nepali into custody from the Strait of Hormuz.”Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps StatementsHuman Rights Watch was unable to confirm who was responsible for the other 14 attacks the IMO documented. However, Iranian authorities have made several statements in which they have demonstrated a clear intention to attack ships, including civilian ships, that attempt to pass through the strait.On March 4, Mohammad Akbarzadeh, an IRGC navy official, announced that the Strait of Hormuz was “under the complete control of the Islamic Republic of Iran.” On March 16, Naini repeated the statement. “If the US claims that the Iranian Navy has been destroyed, then why is the Strait of Hormuz still closed and not even a tanker is allowed to pass,” Akbarzadeh said. “If the Iranian Aerospace Force [the IRGC’s missile, air, and space force, separate from the Air Force] has been destroyed, why do our missiles and drones hit the intended targets at specific intervals?”On March 12, what appears to be the new X account of the newly appointed supreme leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, posted: “the lever of blocking the Strait of Hormuz must definitely continue to be used.” Tangsiri reposted the statement, adding: “By maintaining the strategy of keeping the #Strait_of_Hormuz closed, we will deal the most severe blows to the aggressor enemy.”Also on March 12, the IRGC Public Relations office said in the statement posted by IRNA on Telegram that ships “must act in accordance with the laws and regulations of passage in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz…in order to remain safe from being hit by stray projectiles.”The United States has also targeted and destroyed Iranian military vessels. US Central Command reported that they had damaged or destroyed 43 Iranian ships within the first seven days of the war. While military vessels constitute legitimate military targets, the attacks may pose long-term environmental threats to the region. The US navy’s attack on an Iranian military vessel near Sri Lanka on March 4 caused an oil spill stretching 20 kilometers, according to the Conflict and Environment Observatory.Wim Zwijnenberg, an analyst at PAX, a Dutch nongovernmental organization, told Human Rights Watch that, as of March 13, the attacks by all parties to the conflict had caused “a lot of [environmental] impacts on many different locations, [including] oil spills near Basra, Bandar Abbas and Sri Lanka, but often short-term and limited impact” as a result of authorities’ quick cleanups. However, on March 18, Zwijnenberg said that a separate US strike on an Iranian drone carrier near Bandar Abbas in southern Iran had “resulted in a large 25km long oil slick that is posing a threat [to] the coastal and marine environment of the Hara Biosphere and Khuran Strait Wetlands.” The continuation of attacks on vessels carrying large quantities of oil and gas has the potential to cause long-term and significant environmental harm. Despite cleanup efforts, offshore oil spills have long-lasting detrimental impacts on marine life and ecosystems. Customary international humanitarian law provides that warring parties need to respect the protection and preservation of the natural environment. All feasible steps should be taken to minimize environmental harm. Using methods or means of warfare that are intended or can be expected to cause widespread, long-term, and severe damage to the natural environment is prohibited.  The attacks on civilian ships in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the threat of attack, and the targeting of energy infrastructure within the context of conflicts also appear to be contributing to significant global cost increases in energy, which may lead to increases in the costs of food and other critical sectors, to the detriment of the rights of populations.In the same speech on March 11, Zofaghari said: “Get ready for the oil barrel to be at [US]$200, because the oil price depends on the regional stability which you have destabilized.”Increases in oil and gas prices will have ripple effects on sectors such as food, transportation, and energyprices around the globe, which are critical to the enjoyment of human rights. Moreover, news outlets and think tanks have described the potential impact on the global food supply as a result of the collapse in fertilizer exports through the strait. The Financial Times has reported that, according to several experts, the “Middle East war is close to triggering a global food shock worse than that unleashed by Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine” given that significant percentages of the raw materials for widely used fertilizers are transported through the strait. World Food Programme Deputy Executive Director Carl Skau told reporters on March 17 that if the ongoing regional conflict continues, “an additional 45 million people could be pushed into acute hunger by price rises.”

Iran’s military has admitted carrying out an attack on the Thai-flagged cargo ship Mayuree Naree while it was transiting the Strait of Hormuz, claiming the vessel ignored warnings and attempted to pass through the strategic waterway unlawfully. Fars and other Iranian media reported on March 11 that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had issued a statement saying Iranian forces attacked two ships in the Strait of Hormuz, including the Thai-flagged Mayuree Naree. Reuters also reported that the Revolutionary Guards had claimed responsibility for the strike, in what was described as their first direct engagement against merchant shipping in the current escalation. According to the IRGC statement, Mayuree Naree came under fire after it had “ignored warnings” and tried to move through the Strait of Hormuz illegally. Iran also said it had attacked another merchant vessel, the Liberia-flagged Express Rome, with a missile after it allegedly disregarded warnings from the IRGC navy earlier the same day. The Express Rome claim appeared in Iranian reporting, although the most widely cited international reports focused on separate incidents involving other vessels. Reports from the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), cited by Reuters and other outlets, said merchant ships in the Gulf region have faced repeated attacks since the United States and Israel began strikes on Iran on February 28, followed by Iranian retaliation. Reuters said the March 11 incidents brought the number of reported attacks in or near the Gulf region since then to at least 12, while another Reuters report put the tally at at least 14.

Precious Shipping Public Company Limited, or PSL, reported to the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) regarding an incident involving the vessel Mayuree Naree in the Strait of Hormuz. The Company stated that it wished to inform the Stock Exchange of Thailand of the case involving the Thai-flagged vessel Mayuree Naree, which is owned by Precious Flowers Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company in Thailand. At approximately 8.15am local time on March 11, 2026, while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, the Mayuree Naree was attacked twice by weapons of unknown origin. The attacks caused damage to the vessel’s engine room and triggered a fire.

The Marine Department has provided an update on the incident involving the Thai vessel MAYUREE NAREE, a bulk carrier of 19,891 gross tonnes, registration number 550000990, operated by Precious Flowers Co., Ltd. The ship suffered an explosion at the stern while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on March 11, 2026, at around 11:00am (Thailand time). According to the shipowner’s report, the vessel and its 23 crew members departed from an anchorage area in the United Arab Emirates. While passing through the Strait of Hormuz, an explosion occurred at the stern, triggering a fire in the engine room. The captain decided to abandon ship, evacuating the crew into lifeboats, and assistance was provided by the Royal Navy of Oman. A total of 20 crew members were brought ashore safely and taken to the port city of Khasab, Oman. However, three crew members are believed to have been in the engine room at the time of the incident, as they were on duty there. Search and assistance efforts are continuing. At 1:46pm, Precious Shipping Public Company Limited (the shipowner) confirmed that 20 crew members had been brought ashore, while the remaining three were still being tracked and searched for.

March 27 (Reuters) - A Thai-flagged cargo ship that ​was hit by ‌unknown projectiles in the Strait of ​Hormuz earlier ​this month has run ⁠aground off ​Iran's Qeshm Island, ​Iran's Tasnim news agency said on Friday.Thailand said ​20 crew ​members were rescued by ‌the ⁠Omani navy, while three were missing after an ​explosion in ​the ⁠stern of the ship, ​Mayuree Naree, ​caused ⁠a fire in the engine room.

Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow said Thailand still does not know the fate of the three missing Thai crew members from the Mayuree Naree, as Bangkok steps up pressure on Iran to provide urgent assistance. Speaking at Government House at 9.35am on March 28, Sihasak said Thai authorities were continuing to follow up closely with the Iranian side. He said Iran had already gained access to the vessel, but there was still no confirmation of the condition or whereabouts of the three crew members. Sihasak said he had been in contact with the Iranian ambassador to Thailand and had also sent a formal letter to Iran’s foreign minister, urging the Iranian side to move quickly to help because Thailand wanted to learn the fate of all three crew members as soon as possible. Asked whether there was still no confirmed status for the missing crew, he said the matter remained under active follow-up and insisted that Thailand would do everything it could. The Mayuree Naree, a Thai-flagged cargo vessel, was struck in the Strait of Hormuz on March 11, causing a fire in the engine room. Twenty crew members were rescued, while three were reported missing. Reuters later reported that the damaged ship had run aground off Iran’s Qeshm Island. Thailand had previously renewed its request for Iranian assistance over the three crew members during talks between Sihasak and Iran’s ambassador in Bangkok, as part of wider efforts to secure help for Thai nationals and commercial shipping affected by the conflict in the region.

Precious Shipping Public Company Limited (PSL) reports an update, based on the company's disclosure on March 11, 2026, regarding the incident involving the "Mayuree Nari" vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. Most recently, after receiving permission from various local authorities in Iran, the company dispatched a specialized search and rescue team aboard the Mayuree Nari to conduct a search in areas believed to be where the three missing crew members may have been. This search operation was conducted under extremely difficult conditions due to damage to the hull from the fire, lingering smoke inside the vessel, and flooding in the engine room. However, the search team thoroughly searched accessible areas as much as the conditions allowed. Despite the best efforts, the company deeply regrets to report that the search team was unable to locate the three missing crew members. The company has already informed the families of the missing crew members. The company will continue to coordinate closely and continuously with all relevant authorities. To consider taking appropriate further action, the company will continuously report progress on significant issues to the Stock Exchange of Thailand in the coming period. Back to top button

The Middle East Situation Monitoring and Surveillance Center (MERSMC) reveals that the three missing crew members of the 'Mayuree Naree' cargo ship have not yet been found, despite a thorough search by a search team. They emphasized that the search will continue. By THE STANDARD TEAM March 30, 2026 31 Today (March 30) at 6:00 PM, at the Middle East Situation Monitoring and Surveillance Center (MERSMC) at Government House, Panidol Patchimsawat, Acting Director-General of the Department of Information and Deputy Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, briefed on the situation in the Middle East and the progress of the rescue efforts following the MRSMC meeting.   Panitol Patchimsawat revealed that regarding the three missing Thai crew members from the Thai-flagged cargo ship 'Mayuree Naree', which encountered problems while passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the ship's owner has hired a search and rescue expert team to inspect the ship, with permission from local authorities, to search areas where the crew members may have encountered problems.   However, the search team has thoroughly inspected accessible areas, under limitations due to the damage to the ship from the fire.

Human remains found on stricken Thai ship Mayuree Naree after Iranian attack. Three missing engineers feared dead as second search uncovers grim evidence in flooded engine room. Identification pending as families await confirmation. A second inspection by search and rescue experts of the Thai vessel Naree Mayuree indicates the presence of human remains on the stricken ship. The news, emerging Friday, comes with no communication or positive developments from the three missing crew members, unaccounted for since the March 11, 2026, Iranian attack. Fears are rising that the three men, who worked in the badly hit engineering section, were killed in the missile strike or subsequent attacks that incapacitated the cargo vessel three weeks ago. Second search finds human remains on stricken Thai ship Naree Mayuree. Three missing engineers remain unaccounted for since the March 11 missile attack. (Source: Siam Rath) Grim developments have emerged for the families of three missing Thai crew members from the cargo ship Mayuree Naree. The vessel was crippled by Iranian fire on March 11, 2026, while sailing off Oman. At the time, it was attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Initially, twenty crew members were rescued from the stricken vessel. However, three engineering crew members remained unaccounted for. Notably, all three had been working in the engine room when the attacks occurred. As a result, attention quickly focused on that section of the ship. Earlier reports provided limited reassurance. On Friday, March 13, the Royal Thai Navy stated that the three men were alive on board. Moreover, they were identified as engineering personnel assigned below deck. Initial rescue efforts and the Navy reports claimed missing engineers were alive despite severe damage At that stage, no fatalities were confirmed. However, subsequent developments appear now to contradict that assessment. A search and rescue operation was then organised by the ship’s owner, Precious Shipping. During that effort, a team boarded the damaged vessel to locate the missing crew. Nevertheless, the initial boarding found no trace of the three men. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to closely monitor the situation. It had already briefed the press on March 30 regarding ongoing efforts. Furthermore, it maintained regular updates to both the media and the public. Then, on April 3, 2026, a critical update was issued. The Ministry confirmed that a second boarding had taken place. This operation was conducted by specialised search and rescue experts hired by the company. During the second operation, the team carried out a detailed inspection. They examined all accessible areas of the ship. However, extensive damage limited access to several sections. In particular, the engine room and surrounding compartments remained heavily affected. The vessel had suffered both fire damage and flooding. As a result, conditions inside were hazardous. Nevertheless, the team proceeded with a thorough search under constraints. Second search operation reveals human remains in engine room as identification process begins During the inspection, human remains were discovered. These were located in severely damaged areas of the vessel. Notably, these areas included the engine room zone. This is where the vessel was struck most directly by Iranian missiles. However, identification has not yet been confirmed. Authorities have not determined how many individuals are involved. For instance, it remains unclear whether the remains belong to one person or several. Therefore, the status of the missing crew remains unresolved. Meanwhile, the company has informed the families of this development. This marks a significant shift in the case. Previously, no physical evidence had been found during earlier searches. Now, the focus has moved to identification and verification. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the news publicly. It stated that coordination is ongoing with multiple parties. These include the relevant Thai Embassy, Iranian authorities, and other agencies. The Ministry said efforts will continue to confirm identities as soon as possible. However, no timeline has been provided. The condition of the remains may affect the process. Similarly, the damage to the vessel may complicate further recovery efforts. Nevertheless, authorities have indicated that updates will be issued as soon as confirmation is obtained. Missing crew identified as engineers working in the heavily damaged engine room hit during attack The three missing crew members have been identified as Kiattisak Pawaphucha, Phanupong Muangtan, and Chawalit Chaiwong. One worked as a mechanic. Meanwhile, the other two were junior engineers. All three were assigned to the engine room. This section sustained the most severe damage during the Iranian attack. As a result, it became the primary focus of search operations. The missile or drone attack occurred as the vessel transited the Strait of Hormuz. This route is one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes. However, the missile strike crippled the ship at sea. Fire and flooding spread through the lower compartments. Consequently, access to the engine room has remained restricted. Even during search operations, conditions have been difficult and hazardous. So far, no additional survivors have been detected. The twenty rescued crew members remain the only confirmed survivors. Meanwhile, the status of the three engineers depends on the identification results. However, it is beginning to look like the three men were killed in the March 11th attack. The Ministry has stated that it will continue to monitor the situation closely. Furthermore, it has emphasised coordination with all relevant parties. At this time, the announcement by the Royal Thai Navy that the three crew members were alive must be questioned. It is not clear how this assessment was made. Thailand urges diplomacy while investigation continues into fate of three missing crew members In addition, on Friday, the Foreign Ministry appeared anxious to address the broader situation surrounding the incident. It called for a return to negotiation and diplomatic processes. Moreover, it referenced international law and the United Nations Charter. It emphasised the need to prioritise civilian safety. At the same time, it highlighted the importance of maintaining the flow of goods through the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian war rages into its third week as the Royal Thai Navy reveals sailors are safe and urges caution Navy and Foreign Affairs personnel working on a rescue mission for 3 stranded on stricken Thai vessel Thai ships can sail through the Hormuz Strait but there is renewed concern for the three missing sailors Nevertheless, the immediate focus remains on the vessel and the ongoing investigation. Identification of the remains is now the priority. Senior officials continue to coordinate across multiple agencies. However, the condition of the ship continues to pose challenges for its owners. Fire damage and flooding persist in critical areas. As a result, access remains limited in parts of the vessel. Even so, search efforts have begun under constrained conditions. Teams are now reported to have examined as much of the ship as possible. However, full access has not yet been achieved due to structural damage. Ultimately, the outcome now depends on forensic confirmation. Until then, the fate of the three crew members still remains technically and officially unconfirmed. Nevertheless, despite this, the family must now fear the worst. The lack of any communication or positive news from the vessel drifting in dangerous water should tell us all we need to know.

Iranian forces appear to have deliberately targeted at least two civilian commercial ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz on March 11, 2026, which would amount to war crimes. Between March 1 and 17, the UN confirmed 17 incidents of damage to commercial vessels in the region. The attacks, as well as the threat of attacks, also appear to have contributed to significant global cost increases in energy, which may also result in cost increases in food and other critical sectors, to the detriment of people’s rights.Iran, the United States, and Israel should all immediately end unlawful attacks on civilians and civilian objects.(Beirut, March 24, 2026) – Iranian forces appear to have deliberately targeted at least two civilian commercial ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz on March 11, 2026, which would amount to war crimes, Human Rights Watch said today. The attacks, and threat of attack, may also contribute to significant global cost increases in energy, food, and other critical sectors, to the detriment of people’s rights.“Deliberately targeting civilian ships and their crew members is a war crime,” said Niku Jafarnia, Middle East and North Africa researcher at Human Rights Watch. “War crimes do not justify further war crimes, and Iran, the United States, and Israel should all immediately end unlawful attacks on civilians and civilian objects and should stop attempting to frame these objects as legitimate targets.”Starting on March 1, Iranian forces reportedly began attacking commercial ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz in response to US and Israeli attacks on Iran, according to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a United Nations agency. On March 11, Ebrahim Zofaghari, a spokesperson for Iran’s armed forces, said in a speech that if the United States and Israel continued to carry out attacks on Iran, Iranian forces would not allow “one liter of oil” through the strait. Arsenio Dominquez, the IMO secretary-general, stated on March 6: “Around 20,000 seafarers remain stranded in the Persian Gulf, on board ships under heightened risk and considerable mental strain.” Human Rights Watch documented the apparent deliberate targeting of two commercial ships, the Safesea Vishnu and the Mayuree Naree, on March 11 through statements made by Iranian authorities claiming these attacks; photographs and videos posted online of the direct aftermath of the attacks and, in the case of the Safesea Vishnu, the apparent moment of attack; and data gathered by the IMO.Between March 1 and 17, the IMO confirmed 17 incidents of damage to commercial vessels from 16 apparent attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf, and the Gulf of Oman. It also reported that seven seafarers and one shipyard worker had been killed, four seafarers were missing, and ten people were injured, five severely. An IMO representative told Human Rights Watch that the organization receives data from authorities such as the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), the Joint Maritime Information Centre (JMIC), and the Maritime Security Centre Indian Ocean (MSCIO). It said that the organization directly verifies information it receives with the vessels’ flag states to document attacks. It said the organization was unable to confirm who was responsible for the 16 attacks. However, the IMO Council adopted a decision on March 19 in which they “strongly condemned the threats and attacks against vessels and purported closure of the Strait of Hormuz by the Islamic Republic of Iran.” Human Rights Watch identified all the vessels included by the IMO in vessel tracking websites and was able to corroborate that they were civilian commercial vessels with civilian crews. In some cases, Human Rights Watch identified their location at the time of the attack. In addition to corroborating attacks on the Safesea Vishnu and Mayuree Naree, researchers corroborated attacks on two other vessels—Skylight and Safeen Prestige—through photographs and videos posted online as well as online statements made by government and military entities, along with a third vessel—the MKD Vyom—by statements alone. In these three cases, Human Rights Watch could not confirm who was responsible for the attacks.One-quarter of the world’s “seaborne oil trade” travels through the Strait of Hormuz. Since the conflict began, the price of crude oil has risen by 40 percent, according to the New York Times. The International Energy Agency has stated: “The war in the Middle East is creating the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market.” On March 16, Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naini, a spokesman for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) who was reportedly killed in an Israeli strike on March 20, stated that Iranian forces had targeted all vessels owned by a US or Israeli entity, regardless of their flag country. He did not indicate whether he was referring to military or civilian vessels, or both. The Joint Maritime Information Center stated on March 11 that while some of the vessels that had been struck since March 1 had “potential Western commercial associations…multiple attacks have involved vessels with no confirmed affiliation to US or Israeli ownership.” Lloyd’s List Intelligence, a maritime data and intelligence company, reported that some vessels have continued to pass through the strait between March 1 and 18 and noted: “Shadow fleet vessels [ships engaging in illegal operations for the purposes of circumventing sanctions] carrying Iranian oil and gas account for most transits through the Strait of Hormuz.”Human Rights Watch wrote to Iranian authorities on March 18 seeking clarification about the attacks but did not receive a response.Iranian authorities, in statements they made pertaining to the two ships they claimed to have targeted—the Safesea Vishnu and Mayuree Naree—did not state that the vessels were military objects, nor did they present any evidence to demonstrate that anything on board the ships could have constituted military objects. Under international humanitarian law, it is forbidden in any circumstance to carry out direct attacks against civilians and civilian objects, and warring parties are obligated to take all feasible precautions to avoid harm to civilians and civilian objects. Civilian vessels with commercial ties to the United States or Israel remain civilian objects. Warring parties must take all necessary action to verify that targets are military objectives. A person who commits serious violations of the laws of war with criminal intent—that is, intentionally or recklessly—may be prosecuted for war crimes. Individuals may also be held criminally liable for assisting in, facilitating, aiding, or abetting a war crime.The effects of global fossil fuel dependence, and its connections to concentrated corporate power and authoritarian governments, are increasingly evident, Human Rights watch said. A just transition to renewable energy is an environmental and geopolitical urgency now more than ever. This requires concomitant efforts to provide universal access to public services such as social security, education, and health care to guarantee everyone’s rights and accelerate the transition.“Iranian forces’ attacks on civilian ships in the Strait of Hormuz will result in harm to some of the most socioeconomically disadvantaged people across the globe,” Jafarnia said. “Iranian forces should immediately end these attacks, rescue the remaining three crew members aboard the Mayuree Naree, and release any seafarers they have detained.” For details of the documented attacks on two vessels, further details about the others, and IRGC statements, please see below. March 11 Iranian Attacks on ShipsOn March 11, the Safesea Vishnu, an oil tanker, was “struck by an unknown projectile,” according to the UKMTO. The last signal sent from the ship was received by the vessel-tracking website Marine Traffic at 10:01 p.m. local time. On March 12, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Iran’s official state news agency, published a statement from the IRGC that confirmed that the Safesea Vishnu “had been hit in the northern Persian Gulf after failing to comply with and ignoring the warnings of the IRGC Navy.”One of the crew members was killed in the attack, the IMO said. It also reported that another oil tanker, the Zefyros, caught fire in the same incident. The two vessels were next to each other within Iraqi territorial waters approximately 50 nautical miles southeast of Basra, according to measurements taken from vessel-tracking websites. Human Rights Watch analyzed three videos posted to X by different accounts on March 12, with the earliest posted at 12:32 a.m. One of the videos, filmed from a nearby vessel, shows two large explosions on the Safesea Vishnu, seconds apart. Those filming from the nearby vessel claim to be the IRGC Navy and say that they have destroyed a US ship in the Persian Gulf. The Safesea Vishnu is engulfed in flames. This video supports accounts by Reuters from the US owner and operator of the vessel that two explosive-laden, unmanned boats rammed the vessel. Another video shows firefighters spraying the Safesea Vishnu with water from a nearby boat. The BBC published a video filmed in daylight that shows the vessel tilting to one side considerably damaged.  The New York Times reported that, according to Iraq’s oil export authority, “[t]he two vessels were used by Iraq for its own oil transport.” The news outlet added that “[s]enior Iraqi officials said that one of the vessels, flying the flag of the Marshall Islands, was owned by an American company.” On the same day, three other vessels—One Majesty, a Japanese-flagged container vessel, and two bulk carriers, the Marshall Islands-flagged Star Gwyneth and the Thai-flagged Mayuree Naree—were attacked in the strait, the IMO said. The Royal Thai Navy spokesperson said in a statement that the navy had received an initial report that “two projectiles of unknown origin” had struck the Mayuree Naree as it sailed into the Strait of Hormuz after departing from the UAE. The statement said that the Omani navy had rescued 20 of the vessel’s 23 crew members, which the Omani Maritime Security Center confirmed. On March 18, the Royal Thai Navy reported that the ship had moved from Omani to Iranian territorial waters. Three crew members reportedly remain on board the seriously damaged vessel.Photographs taken by rescued crew members circulating online show the superstructure emitting large columns of black smoke. One photograph shows damage to the hull of the boat near the propeller that is consistent with an explosion. The day the three ships were reportedly attacked, Tasnim News, affiliated with the IRGC, posted a statement on its Telegram channel at 3:36 p.m. stating that the Mayuree Naree was “shelled by Iranian fighters hours ago after ignoring the warnings of the IRGC Navy and illegally insisting on passing through the Strait of Hormuz.”Alireza Tangsiri, commander of the IRGC naval forces, posted on X the same day at 3:50 p.m. local time that the crew of the Mayuree Naree had “ignored [Iranian authorities’] warnings and intended to pass through the strait but was caught.” He added that “[a]ny vessel intending to pass [the Strait of Hormuz] must obtain permission from #Iran.” Both statements included claims that Iranian forces had also attacked another ship, the Express Rome, a ship not listed by the IMO as having been attacked. On March 19, Human Rights Watch received confirmation from Danaos Shipping, the owners of Express Rome, that the ship had not been hit or compromised in any way and that its crew is safe. According to media reports from March 20, a Nepali Ministry of Foreign Affairs official stated that Iranian authorities had “taken one Nepali into custody from the Strait of Hormuz.”Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps StatementsHuman Rights Watch was unable to confirm who was responsible for the other 14 attacks the IMO documented. However, Iranian authorities have made several statements in which they have demonstrated a clear intention to attack ships, including civilian ships, that attempt to pass through the strait.On March 4, Mohammad Akbarzadeh, an IRGC navy official, announced that the Strait of Hormuz was “under the complete control of the Islamic Republic of Iran.” On March 16, Naini repeated the statement. “If the US claims that the Iranian Navy has been destroyed, then why is the Strait of Hormuz still closed and not even a tanker is allowed to pass,” Akbarzadeh said. “If the Iranian Aerospace Force [the IRGC’s missile, air, and space force, separate from the Air Force] has been destroyed, why do our missiles and drones hit the intended targets at specific intervals?”On March 12, what appears to be the new X account of the newly appointed supreme leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, posted: “the lever of blocking the Strait of Hormuz must definitely continue to be used.” Tangsiri reposted the statement, adding: “By maintaining the strategy of keeping the #Strait_of_Hormuz closed, we will deal the most severe blows to the aggressor enemy.”Also on March 12, the IRGC Public Relations office said in the statement posted by IRNA on Telegram that ships “must act in accordance with the laws and regulations of passage in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz…in order to remain safe from being hit by stray projectiles.”The United States has also targeted and destroyed Iranian military vessels. US Central Command reported that they had damaged or destroyed 43 Iranian ships within the first seven days of the war. While military vessels constitute legitimate military targets, the attacks may pose long-term environmental threats to the region. The US navy’s attack on an Iranian military vessel near Sri Lanka on March 4 caused an oil spill stretching 20 kilometers, according to the Conflict and Environment Observatory.Wim Zwijnenberg, an analyst at PAX, a Dutch nongovernmental organization, told Human Rights Watch that, as of March 13, the attacks by all parties to the conflict had caused “a lot of [environmental] impacts on many different locations, [including] oil spills near Basra, Bandar Abbas and Sri Lanka, but often short-term and limited impact” as a result of authorities’ quick cleanups. However, on March 18, Zwijnenberg said that a separate US strike on an Iranian drone carrier near Bandar Abbas in southern Iran had “resulted in a large 25km long oil slick that is posing a threat [to] the coastal and marine environment of the Hara Biosphere and Khuran Strait Wetlands.” The continuation of attacks on vessels carrying large quantities of oil and gas has the potential to cause long-term and significant environmental harm. Despite cleanup efforts, offshore oil spills have long-lasting detrimental impacts on marine life and ecosystems. Customary international humanitarian law provides that warring parties need to respect the protection and preservation of the natural environment. All feasible steps should be taken to minimize environmental harm. Using methods or means of warfare that are intended or can be expected to cause widespread, long-term, and severe damage to the natural environment is prohibited.  The attacks on civilian ships in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the threat of attack, and the targeting of energy infrastructure within the context of conflicts also appear to be contributing to significant global cost increases in energy, which may lead to increases in the costs of food and other critical sectors, to the detriment of the rights of populations.In the same speech on March 11, Zofaghari said: “Get ready for the oil barrel to be at [US]$200, because the oil price depends on the regional stability which you have destabilized.”Increases in oil and gas prices will have ripple effects on sectors such as food, transportation, and energyprices around the globe, which are critical to the enjoyment of human rights. Moreover, news outlets and think tanks have described the potential impact on the global food supply as a result of the collapse in fertilizer exports through the strait. The Financial Times has reported that, according to several experts, the “Middle East war is close to triggering a global food shock worse than that unleashed by Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine” given that significant percentages of the raw materials for widely used fertilizers are transported through the strait. World Food Programme Deputy Executive Director Carl Skau told reporters on March 17 that if the ongoing regional conflict continues, “an additional 45 million people could be pushed into acute hunger by price rises.”

Summary of Press Briefing at the Joint Management and Monitoring Center for the Situation in the Middle East on 12 March 2026วันที่นำเข้าข้อมูล 12 มี.ค. 2569วันที่ปรับปรุงข้อมูล 12 มี.ค. 2569| 291 viewSummary of Press Briefing at the Joint Management and Monitoring Center for the Situation in the Middle East by Mr. Panidone Pachimsawat, Acting Director-General of the Department of Information and MFA Deputy Spokesperson on 12 March 2026 at 11 hrs. at the Government House 1. Developments regarding the Thai-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz As reported in the news, on 11 March 2026 at approximately 11.00 hrs. (Thailand local time), the Thai-flagged cargo ship “Mayuree Naree,” with 23 Thai crew members on board, was hit and damaged while sailing in the Strait of Hormuz, after departing from Khalifa Port in the United Arab Emirates. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through the Royal Thai Embassy in Muscat, immediately coordinated with Oman’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and relevant agencies, and continued doing so throughout last night, to provide assistance to the Thai crew. The Royal Navy of Oman has rescued 20 Thai crew members and safely brought them ashore at Khasab, Oman, while efforts are underway to rescue the remaining 3 crew members. The Royal Thai Embassy in Muscat has had a telephone conversation with the ship’s captain and has been informed that none of the 20 rescued Thai crew members sustained serious injuries, although they will require continued psychological support. The local representative of the ship’s owning company has arranged accommodation for the crew at a hotel and will facilitate consultations with a psychiatrist. The Embassy is currently coordinating travel to the area by road, as it remains a no-fly zone, in order to visit and provide assistance to the Thai crew, as well as facilitate their return to Thailand at the earliest opportunity. According to the Marine Department, Ministry of Transport, all Thai-flagged cargo ship has now departed the Strait of Hormuz, and no Thai cargo ships remain in the area. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working closely with relevant authorities to locate and rescue the remaining 3 crew members, while continuing to support those who have already been rescued and to closely investigate the facts surrounding the incident. In terms of diplomatic efforts, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued the second statement on the latest developments of the situation in the Middle East, reiterating Thailand’s grave concern about the dire situation in the region, which has intensified following attacks by Israel and the United States, and followed by retaliation by Iran. The situation poses serious threats not only to civilians in the region but also to nationals of other countries, including Thai nationals, such as the incident involving the Thai-flagged cargo ship yesterday. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also reiterates the importance of respecting the Charter of the United Nations and the principles of international law, including the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure. Thailand calls on all parties to exercise the utmost restraint, immediately de-escalate tensions, and return to dialogue in order to prevent further escalation that could undermine both regional and global peace and stability. Thailand also protests the violence involving attacks on commercial vessels and expresses its serious concern regarding such incidents. Earlier this morning, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs invited the Ambassador of Iran to Thailand for discussions, during which this matter was also raised. Later this evening, the Minister of Foreign Affairs will have a telephone conversation with the Foreign Minister of Oman to thank the Government of Oman for its assistance to the Thai crew and follow up on the search for the remaining 3 crew members. 2. Developments in the Situation in the Middle East The situation in the region remains volatile and uncertain, although there have been signals from certain parties indicating their willingness to end the conflict, subject to specific conditions. The Iranian side has reportedly outlined three key conditions for ending the conflict, namely (1) recognition of Tehran’s legitimate rights, (2) payment of reparations, and (3) firm international guarantees against future aggression. Within the ASEAN framework, in view of the seriousness of the situation, a Special ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting on the Situation in the Middle East will be convened on 13 March 2026, at Thailand’s initiative. The meeting will discuss developments and their implications for ASEAN and exchange views on response measures and ASEAN’s long-term preparedness. The meeting will also serve as an opportunity to reaffirm ASEAN unity and underscore the importance of ASEAN centrality in addressing crises affecting the region. 3. Developments on Assistance Provided to Affected Thai Nationals For Iran: The second group of Thai nationals evacuated from Iran has arrived in Türkiye and will return to Thailand in two batches. This morning, the first batch of 34 Thai nationals, mostly workers, has already arrived safely in Thailand, where they were welcomed by the Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Labour and the Deputy Director-General of the Department of Consular Affairs. The second batch will arrive in Thailand on the morning of 13 March 2026. At present, the Royal Thai Embassy in Tehran, which has temporarily relocated its operations to the Temporary Operations Center in Van, Türkiye, continues to maintain close contact with Thai nationals in Iran who have not yet expressed the intention to return to Thailand and stands ready to facilitate their return should they wish to do so. For the United Arab Emirates: In addition to Etihad Airways, Emirates and Air Arabia have resumed limited daily flights from Dubai to Thailand. The Royal Thai Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate-General in Dubai continue to closely coordinate with Thai nationals in the UAE and provide updates. For Bahrain: Gulf Air has announced additional flights to facilitate travel by land to board special flights from Dammam to Bangkok starting today. The Royal Thai Embassy in Manama has informed Thai nationals in the area accordingly. For Qatar: The Royal Thai Embassy in Doha has facilitated the return of 124 Thai nationals and their family members to Thailand. The first flight arrived in Thailand last night. This flight was arranged as a special flight for stranded passengers and those wishing to depart Doha, and does not yet represent a full resumption of commercial operations. For Israel: El Al and Arkia airlines, which operate flights from Tel Aviv to Thailand, have now resumed normal operations. Passengers may book tickets and check flight status via the airlines’ official websites. The Royal Thai Embassy in Tel Aviv stands ready to assist Thai nationals and has already disseminated relevant information to Thai nationals in the area. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs follows the situation in the Middle East with great concern. Thailand remains firmly committed to peace and calls on all parties to urgently pursue diplomatic efforts and peaceful dialogue to prevent the conflict from escalating further.

Summary of Press Briefing on the case of the three crew members aboard the “Mayuree Naree” vessel on 30 March 2026วันที่นำเข้าข้อมูล 30 Mar 2026วันที่ปรับปรุงข้อมูล 30 Mar 2026| 1,361 viewSummary of Press Briefing on the case of the three crew members aboard the “Mayuree Naree” vessel by Mr. Panidone Pachimsawat, Acting Director-General of the Department of Information and Deputy MFA Spokesperson on 30 March 2026 at 11.05 hrs. at the Government House The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been continuously monitoring the case of the three crew members aboard the Thai commercial vessel “Mayuree Naree,” which encountered an incident while transiting through the Strait of Hormuz on 11 March 2026, and has kept the media and the public informed of related developments. Actions taken by the Ministry thus far: On 12 March 2026, the Minister of Foreign Affairs held a telephone discussion with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Oman to express appreciation for the prompt assistance provided to 20 Thai crew members, and to request continued support in following up on the remaining three crew members on board. On 15 March 2026, the Foreign Minister held a telephone discussion with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran to request assistance in following up on the three crew members. The Iranian side had no objection to Oman’s participation in the search and rescue operation and promptly coordinated the matter with the Iranian team. On 19 March 2026, the Foreign Minister requested a meeting with the Ambassador of Iran to Thailand to reiterate the request for assistance in locating the three Thai crew members. On 24 March 2026, the Ministry was informed by the Iranian Ambassador that the joint operation by Iran and Oman had successfully gained access to the vessel, but there was no information regarding the condition or status of the three crew members. On 26 March 2026, the Foreign Minister sent letters to the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Iran and Oman to follow up on efforts to assist the three Thai crew members. Today (30 March 2026), the Ministry was informed by Precious Shipping PLC, owner of the vessel “Mayuree Naree,” that the company hired a specialized search and rescue team to board the vessel, with authorization from local authorities, to conduct a search and rescue operation in the area where the three crew members had been located during the incident. The search team has carried out a detailed inspection of accessible areas of the vessel to the extent permitted by conditions, as the vessel had sustained damage from fire with residual smoke inside and flooding in the engine room, making the search operation difficult. The company reported that the search team had exerted its best efforts, but was not able to locate the three crew members on board. The company has already informed the families of the crew members of this development. The Ministry wishes to provide this update and affirms that it will not relent in its efforts to locate the three crew members, while continuing to coordinate closely with the Iranian side and other relevant parties. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls on all parties concerned to return to dialogue and diplomacy at the earliest opportunity, in order to bring an end to the conflict in accordance with international law and the United Nations Charter, while ensuring the safety of civilians and the freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

Bangkok, April 8th, 2026 – Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Sihasak Phuangketkeaw, has officially confirmed that the three missing Thai crew members from the Thai-flagged bulk carrier MV Mayuree Naree were killed in an Iranian attack last month. Speaking at a press briefing today, Sihasak announced that the three mariners, who were believed to have been trapped in the ship’s engine room after the vessel was struck by projectiles on March 11th, have now been confirmed dead. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its deepest condolences to the families of the deceased and said it is coordinating with Iranian authorities and the ship’s owner to facilitate the repatriation of remains and provide full support to the bereaved families. The MV Mayuree Naree, a 180-metre-long dry bulk carrier owned by Bangkok-based Precious Shipping Plc (PSL.BK), was attacked while sailing in ballast (empty) through the Strait of Hormuz, approximately 11 nautical miles off the northern coast of Oman. The ship had departed from Khalifa Port in the United Arab Emirates earlier that morning en route toward India when it came under fire. According to the ship’s operator, two projectiles of unknown origin slammed into the hull above the waterline, igniting a fierce fire in the engine room and causing severe damage. All 23 crew members on board were Thai nationals. Twenty of them were quickly evacuated with assistance from Omani naval forces and later repatriated to Thailand via Suvarnabhumi Airport on March 16th. The remaining three were reported missing and presumed trapped in the flooded and fire-damaged engine compartment. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) later claimed responsibility for the strike, stating that the Mayuree Naree had “disregarded warnings and insistently attempted to illegally pass through the Strait of Hormuz.” The attack occurred amid heightened tensions in the region following a broader escalation of conflict involving Iran, Isreal, and the US, which had already seen multiple vessels targeted in the strategic waterway. In the weeks following the incident, the damaged vessel drifted and eventually ran aground on an Iranian island. A specialised search and rescue team hired by Precious Shipping boarded the ship in early April and discovered human remains in the affected engine room area. The company then informed the families, and Thai authorities continued pressing for forensic identification and recovery efforts. Today’s confirmation by the Foreign Ministry brings closure to a tragedy that has drawn widespread attention in Thailand and raised concerns about the safety of Thai-flagged vessels navigating high-risk international shipping lanes during the ongoing Middle East conflict. The Ministry has urged all Thai shipping operators to exercise extreme caution and adhere strictly to international maritime security advisories when transiting the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters. Precious Shipping has not yet issued a detailed public statement on the confirmed deaths, but sources close to the company said the families have been notified and are receiving government assistance.

Three Thai crew members killed on cargo ship Mayuree Naree after a missile strike in the Strait of Hormuz. A fragile US-Iran ceasefire may now allow limited safe passage for stranded ships and vessels carrying essential Thai cargo. Thailand’s Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow on Wednesday confirmed the deaths of three crew members on board the Thai cargo vessel Mayuree Naree, hit by an Iranian naval force on March 11. The three engineers are believed to have died in the engine room, which was severely damaged by an Iranian missile. Minister Sihasak called the news ‘deeply saddening’ as he unveiled plans to visit the region and meet his Iranian and Omani counterparts. The announcement came hours after a US-Iran ceasefire and proposed outline deal, which by Friday appeared fragile. Thailand’s Foreign Minister confirmed three crew members died on the Thai cargo ship Mayuree Naree after an Iranian missile strike. He called the loss “deeply saddening.” (Source: Thai Rath) Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkaew confirmed on Wednesday that three Thai crew members of the cargo ship Mayuree Naree have died. The vessel, flying the Thai flag, was struck by missiles while passing through the Strait of Hormuz on March 11, 2026. The attack took place amid the blaze of the US-Iran war, which erupted on February 28th. All remaining 20 crew members had initially been rescued and returned safely to Thailand. However, three were reported missing. Following recovery operations, their deaths have only now been officially confirmed. Human remains were recovered from the affected area last week. Later, they were identified as the missing crew members. Condolences were subsequently extended to their families, who were initially told they may be alive. During a press briefing on Wednesday, April 8, Mr. Sihasak said the loss is “deeply saddening.” He added that the government continues to monitor the situation closely. The three missing crew members were previously identified as Kiattisak Pawaphucha, Phanupong Muangtan, and Chawalit Chaiwong. One was a mechanic, while the other two were engineers. Thailand outlines ongoing coordination with Oman and Iran to secure safe navigation through the Strait Meanwhile, Thailand is following ongoing discussions between Oman and Iran, which jointly oversee navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. These talks aim to manage maritime traffic, ensure safety, and maintain peaceful passage. The minister emphasised that Thailand seeks coordinated measures to prevent further incidents in the strategic waterway. The foreign minister is scheduled to visit Oman from April 15 to 16. During his visit, he will formally thank Omani authorities for their assistance in the rescue operation. Additionally, he will seek Omani and Iranian support to secure clearance for the remaining Thai vessels stranded in the strait. Twenty crew members had been rescued by the Omani navy after the missile strike. However, three initially missing crew members were later confirmed dead. Identification of the recovered remains took several weeks, which delayed official confirmation. Currently, nine Thai vessels are waiting to transit the Strait of Hormuz. Five of these carry essential fertiliser for Thailand. Meanwhile, one Thai vessel has already exited the strait during a reported two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran. Fragile ceasefire could allow limited safe passage for stranded Thai vessels and citizens abroad Therefore, the fragile ceasefire may provide a limited window for the safe passage of stranded ships. The minister noted that he hopes the period will allow orderly movement of all Thai vessels. Financial support is available for Thai citizens abroad who need assistance with travel. Citizens are also instructed to contact Thai embassies for guidance. Following the missile strike, the Mayuree Naree sustained significant damage. Initial reports confirmed that 20 crew members were rescued safely. However, three went missing. Human remains recovered weeks later confirmed their deaths. Therefore, the fatalities were officially reported on April 8. The ministry described the loss as “extremely regrettable” and expressed condolences to the families. Meanwhile, the government continues to monitor maritime safety and is coordinating with Oman and Iran to prevent further casualties. During the press briefing, Mr. Sihasak outlined the objectives of his Oman visit. First, he will thank Omani authorities for assisting the rescue. Second, he will follow up on discussions with Iranian officials regarding joint monitoring of the strait. Thailand combines diplomatic and practical measures to secure vessels and protect citizens in conflict zones Third, he will coordinate clearance for remaining Thai vessels, particularly those carrying fertiliser. Additionally, the ministry is tracking humanitarian concerns for Thai citizens in conflict zones. Therefore, Thailand is combining diplomatic efforts with practical measures to protect its citizens and commercial shipping. The incident highlights the risks faced by seafarers in conflict zones. Moreover, ongoing discussions between Oman and Iran are crucial to maintaining safe navigation. The minister emphasised that communication with relevant authorities is continuous. Meanwhile, the ceasefire between the United States and Iran has provided a narrow opportunity for vessels to pass through the strait safely. Officials are urging Thai citizens abroad to use this period to return home, while financial and embassy support remains available. The Mayuree Naree incident highlights the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait is a key international shipping route for global trade and energy transport. Disruptions can have serious economic and logistical consequences, including delays to essential fertiliser imports for Thailand. Thai government prioritises clearance of remaining vessels amid a fragile regional ceasefire Therefore, the government is prioritising the clearance of the nine remaining Thai vessels. One ship has already departed, but coordination continues for the others. Meanwhile, officials remain in close contact with Omani and Iranian authorities to ensure safe transit. Mr. Sihasak also welcomed the ceasefire, noting that both sides may achieve a sustainable halt to hostilities. Additionally, Thailand is urging coordination to prevent further incidents in the strait. The government is offering financial and logistical support to citizens affected by the conflict. Embassies are available to assist with travel and other emergency needs. Meanwhile, the situation remains volatile, requiring constant monitoring of regional developments. Upcoming Oman visit to reinforce Thailand’s maritime safety efforts and ensure vessel clearance The upcoming visit to Oman is intended to reinforce Thailand’s commitment to maritime safety. Additionally, officials will follow up on the clearance of remaining vessels and continue coordination with Omani and Iranian authorities. Thailand has confirmed that updates will be issued as the situation develops. Meanwhile, government officials remain focused on preventing further casualties and ensuring safe passage for Thai ships. Fears surface that the 3 missing crew members of the Thai cargo vessel Mayuree Naree died on March 11th Government has still not yet clarified the fate of three missing Thai seamen aboard the MAYUREE NAREE The deaths of the three crew members of the Mayuree Naree are a reminder of the dangers faced in conflict zones. Nevertheless, Thailand is actively coordinating with Oman and Iran to manage risks and facilitate the movement of its maritime fleet. All efforts are focused on safety, logistical support, and effective communication with international partners. On Wednesday evening, the ceasefire appeared fragile as Iran moved again to block the Strait of Hormuz. This came in response to Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon. Later sources suggested that the Israeli government was not enthusiastic about the ceasefire deal and was not briefed on it until the last minute.

Update on the case of the Thai cargo ship, Mayuree Naree, which was heavily attacked by Iran, resulting in engine room damage and a severe fire in the Strait of Hormuz. Twenty crew members escaped the fire with the help of Omani authorities, but three crew members remain missing. As of March 12, 2026, the three missing crew members are: Kiattisak Pawaphucha, an electrician from Nong Bua Lamphu; Panupong Muangtan, a ship's engineer from Samut Prakan; and Chawalit Chaiwong, an engine mechanic from Tak. Most recently, the Omani Navy rescued the 20 missing Thai crew members and brought them ashore in Kazakhstan, Oman. They are safe and staying in a hotel provided by the ship's crew while awaiting repatriation to Thailand. (Image credit: International Cargo Ship – Merchant Navy)

WANA (Mar 11) – The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz is under the “intelligent management” of its naval forces at all times, warning that American aggressors and their partners have no right to passage. According to a statement by the IRGC Public Relations, two ships were targeted today for ignoring repeated warnings from Iranian naval forces: The cargo vessel EXPRESS ROOM, owned by Israel and flagged under Liberia, was struck by Iranian projectiles this morning and brought to a halt after failing to heed prior warnings. Hours later, the container ship MAYUREE NAREE was also fired upon after disregarding warnings and attempting illegal passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC reiterated: “The Strait of Hormuz remains under the constant and intelligent management of the brave naval forces of the IRGC. American aggressors and their partners have no right to passage.” In addition, Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, commander of the IRGC Navy, wrote on his X (Twitter) account: “Were the ships assured they could freely pass through the Strait of Hormuz? You should ask the crews of EXPRESS ROOM and MAYUREE NAREE, who today trusted empty promises, ignored warnings, and attempted passage—but were caught. Any vessel intending to transit must obtain permission from Iran.”

Iranian forces appear to have deliberately targeted at least two civilian commercial ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz on March 11, 2026, which would amount to war crimes. Between March 1 and 17, the UN confirmed 17 incidents of damage to commercial vessels in the region. The attacks, as well as the threat of attacks, also appear to have contributed to significant global cost increases in energy, which may also result in cost increases in food and other critical sectors, to the detriment of people’s rights.Iran, the United States, and Israel should all immediately end unlawful attacks on civilians and civilian objects.(Beirut, March 24, 2026) – Iranian forces appear to have deliberately targeted at least two civilian commercial ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz on March 11, 2026, which would amount to war crimes, Human Rights Watch said today. The attacks, and threat of attack, may also contribute to significant global cost increases in energy, food, and other critical sectors, to the detriment of people’s rights.“Deliberately targeting civilian ships and their crew members is a war crime,” said Niku Jafarnia, Middle East and North Africa researcher at Human Rights Watch. “War crimes do not justify further war crimes, and Iran, the United States, and Israel should all immediately end unlawful attacks on civilians and civilian objects and should stop attempting to frame these objects as legitimate targets.”Starting on March 1, Iranian forces reportedly began attacking commercial ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz in response to US and Israeli attacks on Iran, according to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a United Nations agency. On March 11, Ebrahim Zofaghari, a spokesperson for Iran’s armed forces, said in a speech that if the United States and Israel continued to carry out attacks on Iran, Iranian forces would not allow “one liter of oil” through the strait. Arsenio Dominquez, the IMO secretary-general, stated on March 6: “Around 20,000 seafarers remain stranded in the Persian Gulf, on board ships under heightened risk and considerable mental strain.” Human Rights Watch documented the apparent deliberate targeting of two commercial ships, the Safesea Vishnu and the Mayuree Naree, on March 11 through statements made by Iranian authorities claiming these attacks; photographs and videos posted online of the direct aftermath of the attacks and, in the case of the Safesea Vishnu, the apparent moment of attack; and data gathered by the IMO.Between March 1 and 17, the IMO confirmed 17 incidents of damage to commercial vessels from 16 apparent attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf, and the Gulf of Oman. It also reported that seven seafarers and one shipyard worker had been killed, four seafarers were missing, and ten people were injured, five severely. An IMO representative told Human Rights Watch that the organization receives data from authorities such as the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), the Joint Maritime Information Centre (JMIC), and the Maritime Security Centre Indian Ocean (MSCIO). It said that the organization directly verifies information it receives with the vessels’ flag states to document attacks. It said the organization was unable to confirm who was responsible for the 16 attacks. However, the IMO Council adopted a decision on March 19 in which they “strongly condemned the threats and attacks against vessels and purported closure of the Strait of Hormuz by the Islamic Republic of Iran.” Human Rights Watch identified all the vessels included by the IMO in vessel tracking websites and was able to corroborate that they were civilian commercial vessels with civilian crews. In some cases, Human Rights Watch identified their location at the time of the attack. In addition to corroborating attacks on the Safesea Vishnu and Mayuree Naree, researchers corroborated attacks on two other vessels—Skylight and Safeen Prestige—through photographs and videos posted online as well as online statements made by government and military entities, along with a third vessel—the MKD Vyom—by statements alone. In these three cases, Human Rights Watch could not confirm who was responsible for the attacks.One-quarter of the world’s “seaborne oil trade” travels through the Strait of Hormuz. Since the conflict began, the price of crude oil has risen by 40 percent, according to the New York Times. The International Energy Agency has stated: “The war in the Middle East is creating the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market.” On March 16, Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naini, a spokesman for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) who was reportedly killed in an Israeli strike on March 20, stated that Iranian forces had targeted all vessels owned by a US or Israeli entity, regardless of their flag country. He did not indicate whether he was referring to military or civilian vessels, or both. The Joint Maritime Information Center stated on March 11 that while some of the vessels that had been struck since March 1 had “potential Western commercial associations…multiple attacks have involved vessels with no confirmed affiliation to US or Israeli ownership.” Lloyd’s List Intelligence, a maritime data and intelligence company, reported that some vessels have continued to pass through the strait between March 1 and 18 and noted: “Shadow fleet vessels [ships engaging in illegal operations for the purposes of circumventing sanctions] carrying Iranian oil and gas account for most transits through the Strait of Hormuz.”Human Rights Watch wrote to Iranian authorities on March 18 seeking clarification about the attacks but did not receive a response.Iranian authorities, in statements they made pertaining to the two ships they claimed to have targeted—the Safesea Vishnu and Mayuree Naree—did not state that the vessels were military objects, nor did they present any evidence to demonstrate that anything on board the ships could have constituted military objects. Under international humanitarian law, it is forbidden in any circumstance to carry out direct attacks against civilians and civilian objects, and warring parties are obligated to take all feasible precautions to avoid harm to civilians and civilian objects. Civilian vessels with commercial ties to the United States or Israel remain civilian objects. Warring parties must take all necessary action to verify that targets are military objectives. A person who commits serious violations of the laws of war with criminal intent—that is, intentionally or recklessly—may be prosecuted for war crimes. Individuals may also be held criminally liable for assisting in, facilitating, aiding, or abetting a war crime.The effects of global fossil fuel dependence, and its connections to concentrated corporate power and authoritarian governments, are increasingly evident, Human Rights watch said. A just transition to renewable energy is an environmental and geopolitical urgency now more than ever. This requires concomitant efforts to provide universal access to public services such as social security, education, and health care to guarantee everyone’s rights and accelerate the transition.“Iranian forces’ attacks on civilian ships in the Strait of Hormuz will result in harm to some of the most socioeconomically disadvantaged people across the globe,” Jafarnia said. “Iranian forces should immediately end these attacks, rescue the remaining three crew members aboard the Mayuree Naree, and release any seafarers they have detained.” For details of the documented attacks on two vessels, further details about the others, and IRGC statements, please see below. March 11 Iranian Attacks on ShipsOn March 11, the Safesea Vishnu, an oil tanker, was “struck by an unknown projectile,” according to the UKMTO. The last signal sent from the ship was received by the vessel-tracking website Marine Traffic at 10:01 p.m. local time. On March 12, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Iran’s official state news agency, published a statement from the IRGC that confirmed that the Safesea Vishnu “had been hit in the northern Persian Gulf after failing to comply with and ignoring the warnings of the IRGC Navy.”One of the crew members was killed in the attack, the IMO said. It also reported that another oil tanker, the Zefyros, caught fire in the same incident. The two vessels were next to each other within Iraqi territorial waters approximately 50 nautical miles southeast of Basra, according to measurements taken from vessel-tracking websites. Human Rights Watch analyzed three videos posted to X by different accounts on March 12, with the earliest posted at 12:32 a.m. One of the videos, filmed from a nearby vessel, shows two large explosions on the Safesea Vishnu, seconds apart. Those filming from the nearby vessel claim to be the IRGC Navy and say that they have destroyed a US ship in the Persian Gulf. The Safesea Vishnu is engulfed in flames. This video supports accounts by Reuters from the US owner and operator of the vessel that two explosive-laden, unmanned boats rammed the vessel. Another video shows firefighters spraying the Safesea Vishnu with water from a nearby boat. The BBC published a video filmed in daylight that shows the vessel tilting to one side considerably damaged.  The New York Times reported that, according to Iraq’s oil export authority, “[t]he two vessels were used by Iraq for its own oil transport.” The news outlet added that “[s]enior Iraqi officials said that one of the vessels, flying the flag of the Marshall Islands, was owned by an American company.” On the same day, three other vessels—One Majesty, a Japanese-flagged container vessel, and two bulk carriers, the Marshall Islands-flagged Star Gwyneth and the Thai-flagged Mayuree Naree—were attacked in the strait, the IMO said. The Royal Thai Navy spokesperson said in a statement that the navy had received an initial report that “two projectiles of unknown origin” had struck the Mayuree Naree as it sailed into the Strait of Hormuz after departing from the UAE. The statement said that the Omani navy had rescued 20 of the vessel’s 23 crew members, which the Omani Maritime Security Center confirmed. On March 18, the Royal Thai Navy reported that the ship had moved from Omani to Iranian territorial waters. Three crew members reportedly remain on board the seriously damaged vessel.Photographs taken by rescued crew members circulating online show the superstructure emitting large columns of black smoke. One photograph shows damage to the hull of the boat near the propeller that is consistent with an explosion. The day the three ships were reportedly attacked, Tasnim News, affiliated with the IRGC, posted a statement on its Telegram channel at 3:36 p.m. stating that the Mayuree Naree was “shelled by Iranian fighters hours ago after ignoring the warnings of the IRGC Navy and illegally insisting on passing through the Strait of Hormuz.”Alireza Tangsiri, commander of the IRGC naval forces, posted on X the same day at 3:50 p.m. local time that the crew of the Mayuree Naree had “ignored [Iranian authorities’] warnings and intended to pass through the strait but was caught.” He added that “[a]ny vessel intending to pass [the Strait of Hormuz] must obtain permission from #Iran.” Both statements included claims that Iranian forces had also attacked another ship, the Express Rome, a ship not listed by the IMO as having been attacked. On March 19, Human Rights Watch received confirmation from Danaos Shipping, the owners of Express Rome, that the ship had not been hit or compromised in any way and that its crew is safe. According to media reports from March 20, a Nepali Ministry of Foreign Affairs official stated that Iranian authorities had “taken one Nepali into custody from the Strait of Hormuz.”Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps StatementsHuman Rights Watch was unable to confirm who was responsible for the other 14 attacks the IMO documented. However, Iranian authorities have made several statements in which they have demonstrated a clear intention to attack ships, including civilian ships, that attempt to pass through the strait.On March 4, Mohammad Akbarzadeh, an IRGC navy official, announced that the Strait of Hormuz was “under the complete control of the Islamic Republic of Iran.” On March 16, Naini repeated the statement. “If the US claims that the Iranian Navy has been destroyed, then why is the Strait of Hormuz still closed and not even a tanker is allowed to pass,” Akbarzadeh said. “If the Iranian Aerospace Force [the IRGC’s missile, air, and space force, separate from the Air Force] has been destroyed, why do our missiles and drones hit the intended targets at specific intervals?”On March 12, what appears to be the new X account of the newly appointed supreme leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, posted: “the lever of blocking the Strait of Hormuz must definitely continue to be used.” Tangsiri reposted the statement, adding: “By maintaining the strategy of keeping the #Strait_of_Hormuz closed, we will deal the most severe blows to the aggressor enemy.”Also on March 12, the IRGC Public Relations office said in the statement posted by IRNA on Telegram that ships “must act in accordance with the laws and regulations of passage in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz…in order to remain safe from being hit by stray projectiles.”The United States has also targeted and destroyed Iranian military vessels. US Central Command reported that they had damaged or destroyed 43 Iranian ships within the first seven days of the war. While military vessels constitute legitimate military targets, the attacks may pose long-term environmental threats to the region. The US navy’s attack on an Iranian military vessel near Sri Lanka on March 4 caused an oil spill stretching 20 kilometers, according to the Conflict and Environment Observatory.Wim Zwijnenberg, an analyst at PAX, a Dutch nongovernmental organization, told Human Rights Watch that, as of March 13, the attacks by all parties to the conflict had caused “a lot of [environmental] impacts on many different locations, [including] oil spills near Basra, Bandar Abbas and Sri Lanka, but often short-term and limited impact” as a result of authorities’ quick cleanups. However, on March 18, Zwijnenberg said that a separate US strike on an Iranian drone carrier near Bandar Abbas in southern Iran had “resulted in a large 25km long oil slick that is posing a threat [to] the coastal and marine environment of the Hara Biosphere and Khuran Strait Wetlands.” The continuation of attacks on vessels carrying large quantities of oil and gas has the potential to cause long-term and significant environmental harm. Despite cleanup efforts, offshore oil spills have long-lasting detrimental impacts on marine life and ecosystems. Customary international humanitarian law provides that warring parties need to respect the protection and preservation of the natural environment. All feasible steps should be taken to minimize environmental harm. Using methods or means of warfare that are intended or can be expected to cause widespread, long-term, and severe damage to the natural environment is prohibited.  The attacks on civilian ships in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the threat of attack, and the targeting of energy infrastructure within the context of conflicts also appear to be contributing to significant global cost increases in energy, which may lead to increases in the costs of food and other critical sectors, to the detriment of the rights of populations.In the same speech on March 11, Zofaghari said: “Get ready for the oil barrel to be at [US]$200, because the oil price depends on the regional stability which you have destabilized.”Increases in oil and gas prices will have ripple effects on sectors such as food, transportation, and energyprices around the globe, which are critical to the enjoyment of human rights. Moreover, news outlets and think tanks have described the potential impact on the global food supply as a result of the collapse in fertilizer exports through the strait. The Financial Times has reported that, according to several experts, the “Middle East war is close to triggering a global food shock worse than that unleashed by Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine” given that significant percentages of the raw materials for widely used fertilizers are transported through the strait. World Food Programme Deputy Executive Director Carl Skau told reporters on March 17 that if the ongoing regional conflict continues, “an additional 45 million people could be pushed into acute hunger by price rises.”

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility for an attack Wednesday on the Thailand-flagged bulk carrier Mayuree Naree off the coast of Oman, saying the vessel had ignored IRGC warnings and tried to transit the Strait of Hormuz.

This morning at Mo Chit - No miracle. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reveals the sad news that three Thai crew members on the "Mayuree Naree" have died. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sihasak Phuangketkaew, expressed his condolences after receiving official confirmation that all three Thai crew members on board the "Mayuree Naree" have perished. They are: Mr. Kiattisak Pavapucha, an electrical engineer from Nong Bua Lamphu province; Mr. Panupong Muentan, a ship's engine engineer from Samut Prakan province; and Mr. Chavalit Chaiwong, an engine mechanic from Tak province. Previously, rescue teams from Iran and Oman, along with the ship's owner, conducted two inspections of the "Mayuree Naree," thoroughly searching every accessible area due to the ship's fire damage and flooding in the engine room and surrounding areas. Some human remains were found in areas of the damaged ship. However, their identities could not be confirmed. The company therefore informed the families of the crew members of the progress. Then, yesterday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement confirming the deaths of all three men. On April 15-16, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sihasak Phuangketkaew, will visit Oman to thank the Omani government for its crucial role in assisting the 20 Thai crew members. Reporters visited Ban Sai, Nong Lek Subdistrict, Sikhoraphum District, Surin Province, to meet with the family of Mr. Phanupong, or "Aum," 26, one of the deceased crew members. Everyone was in shock after waiting for good news for almost a month. Mr. Suthon Pimphra, 62, Aum's uncle, said that the family waited for a miracle every day, believing that their nephew would be safe and return home. But upon receiving the news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all hopes were shattered. They are heartbroken and still unable to accept the loss. Similarly, Mr. Udom Kaenphet, another relative of Aum, admitted that everyone is now too distraught to do anything. The only thing left is to bring Aum's body home. Ms. Duangdao Rattanapakul, 47, a relative of Aum, said that when officials found body parts on the ship, everyone prayed that they weren't Aum's. But ultimately, they received news that her niece had passed away. She had just graduated and was about to become the pillar of her family. She appealed to the relevant authorities to help bring her niece's body back to her hometown as soon as possible.

Kan Chomphang, also known as Gun, brought relatives of two missing crew members from the attack on the Thai cargo ship "Mayuree Naree" while it was at sea in the Strait of Hormuz to the Royal Thai Navy, urging them to expedite assistance. The relatives stated, "If they are still alive, I hope they are safe." On March 13, 2026, Mr. Kanthas Pongpaiboonvech, or Gun Chomphang, brought relatives of the two missing crew members from the attack on the Thai cargo ship "Mayuree Naree" while it was at sea in the Strait of Hormuz to the Royal Thai Navy. Rear Admiral Parach Rattanachaiyapan, the Navy spokesperson, represented the Navy in receiving the request. Mr. Kanathip Pawapuchake, son of Mr. Kiattisak Pawapuchake, an electrical engineer from Nong Bua Lamphu province who is still missing, said that his father had worked on the cargo ship for over 10 years, although he had changed companies several times. But he said they would still be working with cargo ships. He last spoke to his father about 5-6 months ago. They would talk whenever there was a signal or satellite contact point, even when the ship docked at various points in different countries. The last time they contacted each other was 2-3 days before the incident. His father informed him that he would be traveling through the Strait of Hormuz, and they discussed the possible scenarios. His father was prepared. Kiatisak's son also said that before the incident, the company gave his father two options: 1. Wait to fly back, or 2. Go back on the cargo ship. Everyone chose to go back by ship because they felt that "waiting at the hotel wasn't safe." He confirmed that his father chose to go back by ship of his own free will, and the decision to travel on a ship rested entirely with the captain. "Even today, I still try to contact my father, I message him on Line constantly, but I can't reach him. I've sent many messages, but they don't show up. The last message he sent was wishing me a happy birthday before he boarded the ship and it was about to depart from Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi, UAE, around March 9th. It's strange that I still can't contact him." "When my father went missing, he would notify us beforehand. My hope today is to see my father. I ask the senior officials of the Navy to help those still missing. I still hope that my father and those on the ship are safe, as well as those who will go to help. We don't want any more casualties." Meanwhile, Ms. Suchawadee Malikaew, the girlfriend of Mr. Chawalit Chaiwong, a mechanic from Tak province and another missing person, teared up before saying that she contacted her boyfriend around 10 PM the night before the incident. During her shift at 8 AM the next morning, she couldn't contact him again. She confirmed that her boyfriend made the same decision as the other crew members to return by cargo ship. Initially, the shipping company has contacted the family, saying only that they have coordinated with the Navy to help with the missing, but they don't have information about their last known location or the reason for sailing through the Strait of Hormuz. The company has been doing business for a long time. "If he's still alive, I hope he can handle the situation or help himself. If he's still alive, I hope he's safe." “Gun Jomplang” said that after coordinating with the families of the missing, they have many concerns. First, they want to know the status of those on the ship – whether they are alive or injured. The Navy is the one that really knows the truth, as they are coordinating with the Omani Navy. Regarding maritime matters, I believe the navy is already highly skilled, so I brought information from the relatives to inform the navy. Today, we gathered the relatives of the missing to meet with the navy to seek assistance. The relatives were able to provide information to the navy today. I believe there is still hope; there is always a chance. I believe all sectors will do their best to bring the Thai people back. "Gun Jompalang" also emphasized that he doesn't want people to blame the people on the ship or question "why they went there," as the ship was a cargo vessel and everyone had a job to do.

The father, in tears, recounted that "Note," one of the three missing crew members of the "Mayuree Naree" cargo ship, called his mother before losing contact. His fate remains unknown. Relatives and neighbors are praying to sacred deities for help, while the wife is urgently contacting relevant agencies. March 12, 2026: Following the attack on the Thai-flagged cargo ship "Mayuree Naree" in the Strait of Hormuz on March 11, 2026, reports indicate that 20 crew members were rescued safely by the Omani Navy, but three remain missing. Thai authorities are urgently searching for them. The three missing crew members are identified as: Mr. Kiattisak Pawaphucha, an electrical engineer; Mr. Panupong Muentan, a ship's engineering engineer; and Mr. Chawalit Chaiwong, an engine mechanic. A reporter visited the home of Mr. Chawalit Chaiwong, the engine mechanic, in Yok Krabat Subdistrict, Sam Ngao District, Tak Province, and met with Mr. Songklod Chaiwong, the village headman of Village 12 and Mr. Chawalit's father. Neighbors and relatives were present to offer support to the family. And awaiting news, Mr. Songklod revealed tearfully that his son was married and had a family. He had been working for a shipping company since the COVID-19 pandemic began five years ago as an assistant engine mechanic, earning over 30,000 baht a month. After receiving his salary, he would send money back to his parents and wife. One or two days before the incident, he had spoken to his mother on the phone, saying he was delivering goods to India. After that, they lost contact until they learned that the Thai cargo ship had been fired upon by Iran and his son was missing. His fate is still unknown. Following the incident, relatives prayed at the sacred Wat Phra Borommathat Ban Tak temple, asking for protection for their son and hope he would escape all danger. Meanwhile, Mr. Chavalit's wife is contacting the embassy to check the list of those killed and injured, who are currently receiving assistance from Oman. This morning, Mr. Chusak Rueying, the Governor of Tak Province, assigned Mr. Boonliam Takham, the District Chief of Sam Ngao, along with Ms. Uthaiwan Srisubornrojana, the Tak Provincial Labor Officer, and Mr. Woraset Thiud, the Subdistrict Headman of Yok Krabat, to oversee the investigation. Offering support at his home, Mr. Daeng Malikaew, former village headman of Song Khwae Phatthana and father-in-law of Mr. Chawalit, or "Nong Note," said that 20 years ago, he worked for this shipping company as a head chef for many decades until he retired and returned home. He then served as village headman until his term ended. Later, when his daughter married Nong Note, both wanted to work and save money for their future. Nong Note, his son-in-law, therefore underwent two years of training and, upon completion, went to work for this company on his recommendation. He also mentioned that many neighbors in the community had previously worked for this shipping company as well, some as department heads with average salaries in the hundreds of thousands of baht. In the time he worked there, the shipping company had 8 ships, and now it has around 70 ships, transporting goods all over the world.
