AMIR1, currently at Ukrainian port Chornomorsk with 15 crew on board, including 13 Indian seafarers, is trapped in a terrible and life-threatening situation," the union said in a post on X. On July 18, the MV OMORFI was struck while transiting the Black Sea in Russian territorial waters. Four Indian seafarers lost their lives in that attack. With those incidents, at least five Indian seafarers were killed in separate attacks in the Black Sea last week. Two Indian seafarers who were onboard the vessel remain missing.
