Three Thai sailors have filed a lawsuit seeking compensation after surviving a deadly attack on the cargo ship Mayuri Naree in the Strait of Hormuz during the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran earlier this year.

A Thai labor court accepted the case on Friday, according to the sailors' lawyer. The three crew members are seeking at least 1 million baht (about $30,000) each from companies linked to the ship's owner, Precious Shipping, and its captain.

The lawyer said the sailors were sent into a dangerous conflict zone, leaving them with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that has made it unlikely they will return to work at sea. He added that they have so far received two months' salary and compensation for lost personal belongings.

Precious Shipping said it had not yet received the court documents but maintained that it fulfilled all legal and contractual obligations. The company stated it has continued to provide care and support to the affected crew members and their families.

The Mayuri Naree, a Thai-flagged cargo ship, was struck by two projectiles while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on March 11, killing three crew members and leaving 20 others rescued. The attack came amid heightened tensions after Iran's Revolutionary Guard warned that ships passing through the strategic waterway could become targets following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.

One former crew member, Nobadon Wongsuphan, said the compensation offered by the company was insufficient and did not meet international standards.
