Shipping industry calls for action following the attack on the MV Tutor and cargo ship Verbena
This is the second fatal attack in which our seafarers have been caught in the crosshairs of geopolitical conflicts. Three seafarers tragically lost their lives when the was attacked earlier this year. And we must not forget the crew members from the and who are still being held captive.
Furthermore, we strongly condemn the attack on the cargo ship on Thursday 13 June which left a seafarer severely injured by anti-ship cruise missiles.
This is an unacceptable situation, and these attacks must stop now. We call for States with influence in the region to safeguard our innocent seafarers and for the swift de-escalation of the situation in the Red Sea. We have heard the condemnation and appreciate the words of support, but we urgently seek action to stop the unlawful attacks on these vital workers and this vital industry.
We hope that on this year's Day of The Seafarer on Tuesday 25 June the world takes a moment to recognise the immense contribution that seafarers make to the global economy and the unjust circumstances they are facing in the Red Sea and across the world.
