US public broadcaster, IMO corridor focus

NPR reported that the IMO suspended its coordinated southern evacuation corridor for stranded ships immediately after the attack, with Secretary-General Dominguez citing safety concerns for the 11,000 seafarers still awaiting evacuation. Notes the Ever Lovely was transiting the corridor independently, not part of the evacuation convoy.

“IMO paused its Hormuz evacuation corridor for 11,000 stranded seafarers pending safety guarantees from Iran.”
