On Saturday 31 January, Iran announced live-fire naval exercises simulating a complete blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. From the bridge of the Banglar Joyjatra, Islam watched as ships piled up at anchor and maritime traffic ground to a halt.

Two days later, the vessel crossed the strait. For Islam and his 31 crew members, however, the passage marked the beginning of an ordeal that would last nearly four months.
