UK | The International Maritime Organization warns against targeting commercial ships and the repercussions of conflicts on seafarers in Hormuz and the Red Sea

Strait of Hormuz, Iran ·

Arsenio Dominguez, secretary-general of the International Maritime Organization, warned that commercial ships keep being attacked in several vital waterways, including the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea, Bab el-Mandeb, the eastern Mediterranean, the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Speaking at the opening of the organisation's 138th council session, he said seafarers pay the price of conflicts they have no part in.

The International Maritime Organization is a United Nations agency based in London that sets global shipping safety and security standards. The Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, which links the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, are among the world's busiest shipping chokepoints.
