Seafarers attacked in the Strait of Hormuz sue shipping company in Thailand

Three former crew members of a Thai cargo ship attacked in the Strait of Hormuz sued the vessel’s operator, Precious Shipping Co., alleging labor rights violations and unfair dismissal after the ship was struck by a projectile in March. The lawsuit claims the company endangered their lives by sailing through a high-risk area and dismissed them before their contracts ended, with compensation deemed inadequate due to post-traumatic stress disorder.
