# The International Maritime Organisation says it will begin the implementation of the evacuation plan for over 11-thousand seafarers still stranded in the Strait of Hormuz. This follows the signing of the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran last week. Restrictions imposed on the Strait during the war disrupted traffic through the critical passage way and left thousands of crews trapped on ships. Fourteen seafarers were killed in attacks during the conflict. The IMO says it has secured the necessary safety guarantees to support the evacuation operation.
