Photos of Thai crew from attacked cargo ship shared online
Photos of a Thai crew member from the cargo vessel Mayuree Naree, which was attacked near the Strait of Hormuz, have surfaced on social media following the incident.
The Thai-flagged bulk carrier was struck on March 11 while sailing near the strategic strait after departing Khalifa Port in the United Arab Emirates at about 8.15am local time.
Ship owner Precious Shipping earlier informed the Stock Exchange of Thailand that three crew members are missing and believed to be trapped in the engine room. The company said it is coordinating with relevant authorities to rescue them. The remaining 20 crew members were safely evacuated and have reached shore in Oman.
Meanwhile, international news reported that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) admitted carrying out attacks on two vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on the same day, including the Thai-flagged Mayuree Naree. The IRGC claimed the vessel ignored warnings and attempted to pass through the strait illegally.
Late on March 11, a Facebook user identified as A’ Pek posted photos of himself after being rescued from the ship. In one post he wrote: “Rest now. It’s time for you to rest. I hope everyone else stays safe,” referring to the vessel.
He later shared images showing damage to the ship, writing: “Sorry I couldn’t bring you home. Didn’t they say they wouldn’t shoot Thai ships?”
