Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry is working with Eritrean authorities to secure the release of 18 Azerbaijani citizens detained after their vessels entered Eritrean waters on November 7, 2024, due to severe weather. The crew faces charges of unauthorized entry.
Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs was working with Eritrean authorities to release of 18 citizens after the arrest of Azerbaijan-flagged vessels, the spokesperson of Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry, Aykhan Hajizada, said.
On November 7, 2024, three vessels – "CMS Pəhləvan," "CMS İgid," and "CMS-3," sailing under the flag of the Republic of Azerbaijan and operated by the Azerbaijani branch of Caspian Marine Services B.V. – were forced to enter the territorial waters of the State of Eritrea due to worsening weather conditions during their journey to Abu Dhabi (UAE) via the Suez Canal, according to the Ministry’s statement.
All18 crew members are citizens of the Republic of Azerbaijan and detained on charges of illegally entering Eritrean territorial waters within the 12-mile zone.
“Despite prior communication with the port authorities of the State of Eritrea during the vessels' transit, the failure to provide the required information promptly led to the vessels' entry into the country's 12-mile territorial waters being considered unauthorized,”- the statement reads.
