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.

Seafarers are once again at the mercy of world events, and even those not directly involved in the crisis are facing a whole new set of anxieties as they attempt to fulfil their duties at sea.  This situation is made all the worse, coming hard and fast as it does, on the difficulties they have endured throughout the COVID pandemic.

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.
