On this #DayOfTheSeafarer, I had the pleasure to interview @IMOSecGen for an upcoming episode of @UN podcast Awake at Night. Earlier this week @IMOHQ announced a major operation to help evacuate over 11,000 seafarers stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, after months of hardship. - Arsenio Dominguez repostedToday, we launch another edition of #DayoftheSeafarer. This year's theme, "Carrying world trade. Carrying the risks", shines a light on the realities & resilience of those working in high-risk areas to keep supply chains moving. Join us in thanking them! 🌊tinyurl.com/t6ycy8fy

A pleasure meeting @IMOSecGen Arsenio Dominguez. At a time of widening geopolitical tensions, the work of @IMOHQ is more vital than ever in ensuring the safety of mariners around the world. I fully support IMO’s efforts to release the seafarers stranded in the Gulf. - From policy this morning to operations this afternoon: a behind-the-scenes visit to the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre and Coast Guard Headquarters with the teams of Rear Admiral Sergio Liardo working around the clock to support those at sea. #MaritimeSafety
- After months of distress for thousands of #seafarers, we will finally begin the implementation of the evacuation plan in #StraitofHormuz. This large-scale operation will be carried out in close cooperation with Iran, Oman, coastal States,the US & industry. tinyurl.com/4bsbw9bw
- All mic’d up and ready to go on stage for the @shippingics Shaping the Future of Shipping Summit in Rome, Italy. Great to be in such excellent company with the Shipping Ministers of Greece, Cyprus, and Malta.
- I welcome with great satisfaction the peace agreement reached. A first step to restoring safety in this vital corridor,particularly for our seafarers. And for IMO to advance the evacuation plan, which requires safety & security guarantees from all parties. tinyurl.com/47yrnac3
