The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has been involved in efforts to evacuate mariners stranded in the Persian Gulf following conflicts in the Strait of Hormuz. The organization expressed concerns over mandatory fees for ship passage through the strait, describing them as illegal under international law. It suspended evacuation operations after an attack on a merchant vessel near Oman and later resumed plans with guarantees of non-aggression. The IMO is working with Oman to establish temporary maritime corridors for safe navigation.
