Three former crew members of the Thai cargo ship Mayuree Naree filed a lawsuit on Friday against the vessel’s operator. The suit alleges labor rights violations and unfair dismissal after the ship was struck in the Strait of Hormuz in March. The Mayuree Naree was hit by a projectile north of Oman on March 11.
Three people were killed in the attack and the remaining 20 crew members were rescued and returned to Thailand about a week later.
The lawsuit claims the defendants endangered the crew by sailing through the strait despite security risks, according to their lawyer. The suit was filed in a Thai court. The safety of stranded seafarers in the Gulf has been a source of concern among Asian nations whose citizens make up a significant portion of ship crews.
"This is not simply a matter of shipping statistics," said Arsenio Dominguez, the secretary-general of the UN’s International Maritime Organization.
