New York, United States (HRNW) The UN warned on March 31, 2026, that approximately 20,000 seafarers are currently stranded on ships within the Strait of Hormuz due to escalating regional conflicts. Described as a situation with “no precedent” since World War II, the crisis has brought international shipping to a near-halt. Negotiations are currently underway at the Security Council regarding a draft resolution to ensure the safety of commercial navigation and prevent further interference with international waters.
