Joint Statement: Shipping industry calls for action following the attack on the MV Tutor and cargo ship Verbena

June 19, 2024

Joint Statement – 19 June 2024

“Shipping industry calls for action

following the attack on the MV Tutor and cargo ship Verbena”

The shipping community is appalled and deeply saddened with the tragic news that, yet another seafarer seems certain to have been killed in a drone boat strike on Wednesday 12 June while on board the MV Tutor in the Red Sea. We utterly condemn these assaults which directly contravene the fundamental principle of freedom of navigation.

Our thoughts and condolences go to the family and loved ones of the seafarer who tragically lost their life. It is deplorable that innocent seafarers are being attacked while simply performing their jobs, vital jobs which keep the world warm, fed, and clothed.
