Several regional conflicts around the world have threatened the safe navigation of shipping. The spillover of the war in Yemen, the invasion of Ukraine and regional insecurity surrounding ongoing conflicts between Israel and Iran have all affected members ships with several being attacked and casualties suffered.
INTERTANKO has worked with other associations to develop best practice and intervene with regional stakeholders and the wider UN to represent members’ views and interests. INTERTANKO will continue to work with partners to develop best practice, provide advice on attacks and reduce the threat to shipping.
