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

I am deeply saddened to learn that the three #seafarers initially reported missing in the attack on the MT Settebello, are now confirmed dead. My heartfelt condolences go out to their families. This is a tragic loss for the maritime community. tinyurl.com/ysnu46um

Good discussion with Andreas Motzfeldt Kravik, State Secretary of Norway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in the margins of the Oslo Forum. We talked about #maritimesecurity, particularly the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, and its implications for global shipping.

I strongly condemn any act from any party that endangers the lives of #seafarers and the safety of international shipping. This is simply unacceptable. Read my full statement following the recent attack off the coast of Oman. bit.ly/4ap4hHf

"No commercial justification for risking seafarers' lives." The Strait of Hormuz remains highly volatile, with no safe passage currently available. Read my latest statement on the situation in the #StraitOfHormuz. tinyurl.com/ms8938fb

🌊 On #WorldOceanDay, I reaffirm IMO’s commitment to protecting our ocean. As one of the main users of ocean space, shipping has a responsibility to safeguard the marine environment. I urge nations to turn ocean commitments into action. ▶️ Watch my message!

Every two years, the maritime world gathers at #Posidonia and this year is no exception. I delivered opening remarks, met with President José Raúl Mulino & Japanese officials, spoke with cadets about the future of shipping, and shared the stage with Prime Minister @kmitsotakis.

🎥 A sneak peek from the Cook Islands. We're working on something special for #WorldOceanDay—celebrating the ocean that connects us all, supports communities worldwide, and carries the ships that keep global trade moving. Stay tuned. 🌊

Grateful to @MaritimeNZ for the meeting during my layover in Auckland. Conversation ranged from the situation in the Middle East and #IMO actions to address it, to our current work on how the ISPS Code could assist in tackling increased illegal activities in int’l shipping.
