Attacks on commercial ships cannot become normalised or weaponised as political tools: WSC

 

“What we’re seeing unfold in the Red Sea is shocking and unacceptable. Seafarers are being killed while simply doing their jobs,” World Shipping Council (WSC) President & CEO Mr Joe Kramek said in response to attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea over the past few days. 

 “The World Shipping Council extends its deepest condolences to the families of those who have been lost, and our thoughts are with all those affected. These are devastating, deeply felt losses for the global shipping community.”

  “We cannot allow attacks on commercial ships to become normalised or weaponised as political tools. The safety of those at sea, and the freedoms and rights of navigation, must be protected. We support the IMO Secretary-General’s call for dialogue, to ensure the safety of seafarers,” Mr Kramek concluded.
