Indian Merchant Seafarers - Hormuz Death-Trap Risks

Hi all, on behalf of Times of India (digital only) I'm doing a story on how Indian sailors are stuck in the Hormuz death trap in the Middle East. I'm looking to talk to 1. Shipping companies especially with operations linked to Middle East. 2. People in merchant navy/seafarers especially who have been to the Middle East. 3. An international maritime/relations expert who can can give insight on how sailors can be protected and what more can be done to save Indian sailors from becoming victims in someone else war.
