In response, Indian authorities have intensified monitoring in coordination with the Ministry of External Affairs, the Indian Navy, and diplomatic missions abroad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Issued in continuation of <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">DGS Circular 9 of 2026<\/span>, the advisory reflects the escalating security situation and reiterates that all seafarers and maritime stakeholders, including RPSL (Recruitment and Placement Service Licence) companies, must exercise the highest degree of vigilance in the conflict zone.<\/p>\n<h2>Key highlights of the Advisory for Seafarers:<\/h2>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Heightened Security Vigilance<\/span>: The circular places strong emphasis on maintaining the highest degree of vigilance and caution. Masters of vessels have been directed to:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>\n<p>Maintain constant security awareness<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Monitor navigational warnings and advisories<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Implement ship security procedures rigorously<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The advisory clearly instructs RPSL companies and shipping companies to:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>\n<p>Restrict deployment of Indian seafarers to conflict zones until further notice<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Avoid sending crew to high-risk areas except in emergency situations<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Allow only emergency crew changes, subject to the consent of seafarers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Monitoring and Reporting<\/span>: A robust monitoring system has been mandated:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>\n<p>All stakeholders must continuously track advisories issued by DGS, MEA, and other authorities<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Any incident involving Indian seafarers must be immediately reported to the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">DG Communication Centre<\/span> and Crew Branch<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Avoid circulating fake news\/videos<\/span>: Recognising the role of misinformation in crisis situations, the advisory specifically warns against:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>\n<p>Circulating unverified news or videos<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Spreading rumours via social media<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Stakeholders are urged to rely only on official Government sources.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>To ensure rapid response:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type:

provided for seafarers in distress<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The advisory has been classified as <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8216;Most
