There are approximately 20,000 sailors stranded near the Strait of Hormuz \u2014 one of the world\u2019s most strategic maritime routes \u2014 according to data compiled by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).<\/p>\n

However, beyond the economic and geopolitical impact, the war is \u201cbreaking down the mental health of these workers,\u201d said Bishop Emeritus Luis Quinteiro Fiuza of Tui-Vigo in Spain, the head of the Apostleship of the Sea, in a statement to ACI Prensa, the Spanish-language sister service of EWTN News.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose stranded on those ships, unable to cross through the strait for weeks, live in constant anguish,\u201d he said, indicating that these sailors are living \u201cwith the very real fear that everything could end at any moment by being bombed.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the week following the Paschal Triduum, Quinteiro is scheduled to travel to London to hold high-level meetings at the IMO \u2014 the United Nations agency responsible for the safety and security of maritime trade \u2014 which has proposed the creation of a \u201csafe maritime corridor\u201d to allow vessels to leave the Persian Gulf region and pass through the Strait of Hormuz without risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are facing a truly dramatic situation for everyone, but especially for seafarers and their families,\u201d Quinteiro emphasized. Despite the logistical constraints in the region where there is virtually no Christian presence, the Apostleship of the Sea maintains contact with some of the families of those currently stranded aboard the ships.<\/p>\n

\u201cFamilies are experiencing this with immense anguish. They are horrified, monitoring events minute by minute, and many tell us they are completely overwhelmed,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n

Moreover, in many cases, the isolation of the vessels that have been unable to go through the Strait of Hormuz since the war began is almost total: \u201cRight now, there are ships with their internet down. It is a situation of utter abandonment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cImagine being on a ship, watching missiles or instruments of destruction fly past. How must a person feel in the midst of that?\u201d Quinteiro said, explaining that the Church\u2019s mission in this context is to offer emotional and spiritual support to both the sailors and their families.<\/p>\n

This constant pressure, coupled with the inability to leave the area, further aggravates the situation: \u201cThey can\u2019t get back to their home country. They\u2019re stranded. That is the word: completely stranded.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNinety percent of global trade is conducted by sea, yet, unfortunately, we forget about the seafarers. Moreover, it is an increasingly unattractive occupation, staffed largely by people from poorer countries, which exacerbates the injustices,\u201d the prelate noted.<\/p>\n

Pope Leo XIV made reference \u2014 albeit indirectly \u2014 to those stranded in the Strait of Hormuz during the Angelus<\/a> on Palm Sunday by asking for prayers for sailors suffering the consequences of conflicts.<\/p>\n

Last November, Pope Leo recognized the legal standing of the Apostleship of the Sea, a decision that reinforced the organization\u2019s role as an instrument of spiritual and human accompaniment for a group that is frequently overlooked, despite being essential to the functioning of global trade.<\/p>\n

In 1977, the then-Pontifical Commission for Migrants published the decree Apostolatus Maris,<\/em> updating the regulations following the Second Vatican Council. Two decades later, St. John Paul II renewed this commitment with the motu proprio Stella Maris<\/em><\/a>, consolidating the Church\u2019s mission in the maritime sphere. More recently, Pope Francis entrusted the direction of this work to the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, underscoring the importance of comprehensive care for people of the sea.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the maritime world, there is a great need for justice. To evangelize today means being alongside these people, accompanying them, and making them feel that they are not alone: \u200b\u200bit means not only defending justice and workers\u2019 rights but also offering closeness, comfort, and hope amid extreme situations,\u201d Quinteiro explained.<\/p>\n
