A Panama-flagged container ship, Euphoria, that was fired upon by Iranian boats in the Strait of Hormuz had 21 Indian crew members who are unharmed and safe, India's shipping ministry said.
The Euphoria was one of three ships attacked by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Wednesday as Tehran pushed back against a US blockade of its shipping.
The other ships attacked were the Panama-flagged MSC Francesca and the Liberian-registered Epaminondas, which was headed to the Mundra port in India.
A total of 518 Indian seafarers are onboard Indian-flagged vessels in the Persian Gulf region, with 340 in the West of the Strait of Hormuz and 178 in the Gulf of Oman.
