Hong Kong ship crews stranded in Strait of Hormuz for five months

While they have sufficient supplies and access to counseling, the prolonged period at sea has impacted their mental and physical well-being. Industry representatives assure that immediate safety risks are minimal, provided shipowners continue to fund supplies and onboard services, and that all crew members are treated equally regardless of nationality.
