1,834 Filipino seafarers transit Strait of Hormuz safely amid regional tensions, says DMW

The update reduces immediate disruption risk for UAE ports that handle most regional crew changes, but agents are urged to keep contingency visas and hotlines ready as war-risk surcharges and security alerts remain in force.
