SRI supports the shipping community in calling for an end to hostilities in Ukraine

As the conflict in the Ukraine continues, SRI extends its sincere sympathies to all those affected. Our thoughts go especially to those members of the shipping community caught up in the terrible events unfolding, whether they be on land or at sea.

We join with those who deplore the disregard for life and who are calling for an immediate ceasefire in hostilities and respect for international law.
