The International Maritime Organisation’ has unequivocally condemned the attacks by the Houthis on Red Sea shipping.
“The Red Sea is a critical maritime corridor for international trade,” IMO Secretary General Arsenio Dominguez in a statement. “Continued attacks on shipping in this region risk escalating tensions, further disrupting commercial routes and undermining the principle of freedom of navigation.
“De-escalation is the only solution. I am equally concerned about the potential pollution from these reported incidents in the Red Sea and previous incidents in the Strait of Hormuz area.”
