Good News The Embassy of Norway in India has ceased issuing visas for Indian seafarers joining vessels in Norway. Seafarers may travel using an "Okay To Board" authorization.

Correction Ozellar has 15 Ships including 1 VLCC. In 6 months developing a pool of 500 Indian Seafarers is credible. Growth continues and it may help Seafarers to visit their office in Perungudi, Chennai. I stand corrected as the company is not in Stagnant category.

9% Growth of India Seafarers predicted by me this year: * Chinese Ship Owners/Managers hiring Indian * Great Training Infrastructure, Support by Unions & More Indian Flag Ships * War time Professionalism * Ratings Wages: Lower than Filipinos * Replacing Chinese,Turkish & European.

Crew Companies feedback to me from Indian Seafarers * Aggressive growth: Synergy * Average Growth: MOL , MSC & VRM. * Little growth: Anglo Eastern, * Stagnant: Wallem, Wilhelmsen, BW, BSM, Ozellar, V Ships. * Loss of Ships, long waiting 4 Seafarers: ESM, FML, Dynacom & Scorpio.

1st Indian flagged VLCC LILA JAMNAGAR from gift city launched. It all started 2 years ago and there are 18 Ships now from GIFT CITY. Looks like @shipmin_india and @dgshipping_IN will see more Indian Flag Ships with IRS Class in next 1 Year. More jobs for Indian Seafarers.

Met Seafarer Satish Sood from Chamba Himachal whilst travelling from Chandigarh to Mumbai. Small world. He is flying to Dubai and joining Office ( Dubai Petroleum). He is from Offshore Fleet. Best Wishes to Brother Satish Sood.

Seafarers of #MVMirna safely repatriated from Thailand after 7 months of hardship, due to the intervention of #SailorsUnionofIndia. The timely support from #DGMA and efforts ensured the safe return of the distressed crew. #SUI🇮🇳#DGMA #MoPSW

#WATCH | Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh: On LPG tanker Nanda Devi arriving at Vadinar (Jamnagar) port, Former Member of National Shipping Board, Captain Sanjay Parashar says, "The ship Nanda Devi belongs to Shipping Corporation of India... The good thing is that two ships have come loaded at this time. Shivalik and the other ship are gas carriers, and both these ships have transited the Strait of Hormuz; these gas carriers should keep coming in every day. At this time, my own estimate is that at least eight to ten Indian-flagged gas carriers are still stuck in the Strait of Hormuz... This route is challenging because the ships that generally load in the Persian Gulf are either loaded in Saudi Arabia or Iran, and they come through the Strait of Hormuz. At present, the Strait of Hormuz is practically under Iranian control, and ships can cross if Iran wishes. There is a very small strip of water through which ships cross... and it is based only on faith that the Indian government says you bring the ship and we will bring it... There is coordination with the Indian Navy, embassies, and the Director General of Shipping, who monitors the entire movement..."

Chief Officer LPG Nanda Devi speaks after successful transit of Straits of Hormuz. Must listen.... Thanks Seafarers, @shippingcorp , @indiannavy Merchant Navy valued. Salute to our Seafarers Jai Hind 🙏 Jai Navik 🙏

Thanks @TimesNow for highlighting Ships , Seafarers and War impact at Hormuz Straits
