International Maritime Organization Secretary General Dominguez issued a statement on the 13th calling for the cessation of all unprovoked attacks on international shipping caused by geopolitical conflicts. Dominguez said that in the past week, several civilian merchant ships were attacked in the Azov Sea and the Black Sea, and the International Maritime Organization deeply condemned this. He said that although the international community has recently focused its attention on the situation in and around the Strait of Hormuz, seafarers in other parts of the world continue to face serious security threats.
