He noted that this development would bring relief to the 20,000 seafarers who have been at the forefront of the crisis. “Our thoughts remain with those civilians and seafarers who have already been injured or sadly lost their lives,” he added.
The ICS Secretary General emphasized the urgent need for an immediate restoration of freedom of navigation and called on states to cooperate with the shipping industry to ensure orderly and unimpeded transits through the Strait. “This will require coordination between industry and nation states from both inside and outside the Gulf region, and ICS stands ready to assist this process in any way we can,” Kazakos stated.
