The Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization Mr. Arsenio Dominguez has issued a statement on the escalating situation in the Black Sea:
"As the situation continues to escalate in the Black Sea, I call on all parties to refrain from targeting innocent seafarers, port workers and merchant ships. Shipping should not be used as collateral in geopolitical situations and there is an increased environmental risk developing.
I remain ready to support any negotiation efforts to allow international shipping trade to continue for the benefit of all."
