UN maritime body to begin evacuating sailors as Hormuz toll dispute continues

Article excerpt

An evacuation plan to enable hundreds of ships with some 11,000 seafarers stranded in the Gulf to sail through the Strait of Hormuz is underway after Iran and the US reached a ceasefire deal, the United Nations' shipping ⁠agency said on Tuesday. However, the long-term status of the waterway remains unclear - Iran wants a toll system implemented in the strait while the US is vehemently against this idea.
