- Precious Shipping said it cannot confirm the number or identities because fire damage and a flooded engine room limit access.
- Thailand’s foreign ministry said it is coordinating with Thai embassies, Iranian authorities, and forensic experts to complete identifications.
- The Thai-flagged bulk carrier was struck on March 11 while sailing from the UAE through the narrow Hormuz strait, in an attack Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it carried out after warnings were ignored.
