Statement on renewed attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea

IMO Secretary-General Mr. Arsenio Dominguez has issued the following statement following recent attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea region:

“After several months of calm, the resumption of deplorable attacks in the Red Sea constitutes a renewed violation of international law and freedom of navigation. Innocent seafarers and local populations are the main victims of these attacks and the pollution they cause. Constructive dialogue is the solution to resolving ongoing geopolitical crises affecting seafarers and international shipping.”
