We would like to thank the United Nations Secretary General – His Excellency António Guterres – for the response on the joint open letter on seafarers still trapped in Ukraine and continued dialogue.

The International Chamber of Shipping will continue to collaborate with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) to facilitate the safe departure of the seafarers and vessels stranded in Ukraine.

We look forward to seeing the issue resolved soon.
