Two commercial ships have been hijacked off the coasts of Yemen and Somalia in just four days, putting 22 Indian seafarers in danger.
The incidents have renewed concerns over the safety of Indian merchant seafarers operating through some of the world’s most dangerous maritime corridors. The Gulf of Aden and waters around Yemen and Somalia have already faced rising piracy and attacks on commercial shipping. At the same time, the wider West Asia conflict has added another layer of risk.
The Indian government says all 22 nationals aboard the two hijacked vessels are safe. But the larger question remains: how safe are Indian seafarers on the world’s most dangerous waters?
