India’s Ambassador to Oman, Prashant Pise, on Monday (June 15, 2026) met 20 Indian crew members of the MT Jalveer in Muscat ahead of their repatriation to the country.
Crew members of the Guinea-Bissau-flagged MT Jalveer were safely evacuated ashore in coordination with Omani authorities following the June 11 incident.
“The Ambassador of India to Oman interacted with the 20 Indian crew members of MT Jalveer in Muscat before their repatriation to India and wished them a safe journey home,” the Embassy of India in Oman said in a post on X.
The crew was safely evacuated ashore following the incident on 11 June 2026 in coordination with the Omani authorities.
The Indian mission “remains committed to providing prompt assistance and support to Indian nationals in need and to ensure their well-being and safe return home,” the post said.
Crew members of a tanker carrying 20 Indians were evacuated on Thursday after the vessel came under attack off an Omani port.
This was the third case of a merchant ship with Indian crew members coming under attack by the US military off the coast of Oman in the last four days.
US forces decommissioned a Palau-flagged oil tanker carrying 24 Indian sailors on June 8. All crew members of the vessel, MT Marivex, were rescued safely.
On Wednesday, the US struck another tanker sailing under Palau, the MT Settebello, killing three of the 24 Indian sailors on board.
On Thursday, India said three separate attacks on Settebello, Marivex and Jalveer “came from the US Navy”.
