The IMarEST stands with the IMO Secretary‑General in condemning the loss of seafarer lives in the Strait of Hormuz.
We remain committed to advocating for the safety, security, and wellbeing of the global seafaring community.
Their work is essential. Their lives are invaluable.
Seafarers must not be targets, says @IMOSecGen Arsenio Dominguez, after seafarer fatalities reported in Middle East.
