[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The passengers and crews are unable to leave the ships, which have become floating hotels, after escalating hostilities raised fears over safety in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most vital shipping lanes.
At least six ships from big companies are said to be at a standstill and awaiting news of when they can leave.
This situation has left thousands of travellers and crew stranded in the ports of Dubai and Doha, with no viable exit routes or 'safe corridors' open at the moment. |
