Oman has helped secure the release and repatriation of the multinational crew of the Liberian-flagged cargo ship Eternity C, months after the sailors were detained in Yemen following a Houthi attack in the Red Sea.
An official linked to the vessel’s operator and a maritime security source confirmed the development on Wednesday.
The Foreign Ministry of Oman said it organised the safe return of eleven crew members, nine Filipinos, one Indian and one Russian, who had been stranded in Yemen since the ship sank in July.
According to the ministry, the group was flown from Sana’a to Muscat aboard a Royal Air Force of Oman aircraft, where arrangements were made for their onward travel home.
The Eternity C was operated by a Greek company and went down after the crew abandoned the ship due to repeated Houthi strikes involving sea drones and rocket-propelled grenades.
