Read Authentic Ratings for the Seven-Pearls

After enduring more than a month of uncertainty, the remaining Russian crew members of the product tanker 'Seven Pearls' have been safely repatriated. This development comes in the wake of a serious incident that occurred during U.S. airstrikes on Houthi positions at the port of Ras Isa on April 17 and 18, 2025. Three crew members were injured in the strikes, prompting immediate medical attention in Sanaa, with one requiring extensive eye surgery. At the time of the airstrikes, the 'Seven Pearls' was anchored in the port, rendering evacuation challenges due to restrictions imposed by the Houthi forces, who reportedly did not allow vessels to depart. In the days following the bombing, the shipping company took swift action to coordinate the safe evacuation of the injured crew members. The remaining 19 crew members onboard confirmed they had adequate supplies during this critical period. On May 25, a successful evacuation was executed, allowing the crew members to travel from Sanaa to Amman before making their way back to Russia. Meanwhile, the 'Seven Pearls' continues to lie anchored in Ras Isa, having sustained only minor damage during the U.S. strikes. The tanker had previously operated regularly between the UAE, Djibouti, and Houthi-controlled regions of Yemen, reflecting the complexities of maritime operations in politically sensitive waters.
