The World Shipping Council, the International Chamber of Shipping and BIMCO have expressed their thanks to the 12 nations that have jointly condemned the ongoing illegal attacks on ships in the Red Sea and unlawful detention of vessels and crews there by the Houthi and other groups.
The governments of the US, Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, and the UK have all stated that the attacks are unacceptable, illegal and directly threaten the freedom of navigation that is fundamental to global trade.
On behalf of its members and their seafarers and customers throughout the world, the WSC, BIMCO and the ICS, thank these 12 nations for their strong commitment to defending rules-based international order and to holding malign actors accountable for unlawful seizures and attacks.
The shipping associations call on all nations and international organisations to protect seafarers, international trade in the Red Sea, and to support the welfare of the global commons by bringing all pressure to bear on the aggressors so that these attacks cease with immediate effect.
