The boss of the IMO wants a commercial vessel. Avoid sailing on the Straits of Hormuz

Secretary General of the International Maritime Organization (International Maritime Organization / IMO), Arsenio Dominguez, imposing ships to avoid sailing through the Straits of Hormuz, as well as trade activities in the waters.

These supplications are issued in the middle of an increasing attack on commercial ships. Dominguez warns that safe shipping operations cannot continue until the root cause of the conflict is dealt with.

In an interview with Xinhua at the IMO headquarters on Friday (16 / 10). Dominguez claims the IMO remains unchanged. He said the ships should avoid shipping through the Straits of Hormuz and trading activities in the region.

"The situation is heating up," said Dominguez as quoted Xinhua. He said more than 110 ships have been attacked since the conflict between the Israeli and Iran began in the late February.

The data published on the IMO website shows that attacks on commercial ships inside and around the Straits of Hormuz have been increasing recently.

On 5 to 11 October, as many as 12 attacks against the ship were reported on the strait. On October 11th alone, six ships were targeted for assault. He later offended two recent incidents to describe the serious consequences of the attacks.

"In the last few days alone, two ships have been attacked; one ship has suffered total damage, while the other ship is still trying to reach the pier for help," he said.

Moreover, Dominguez also expressed concern because there are still many owners and ship operators who continue to risk despite the real danger. He warned that prolonged cruise disorder could result in a wider impact in the maritime sector.

"This could have far more impact on the global economy, the energy supply, as well as the food resistance,

The head of the IMO has continued to support about 6,000 sailors still trapped in the region. But he insisted that the protection of the sailors should remain a top priority.

He called the IMO to review existing rules and guidelines regarding risk assessment before the ship entered a conflict zone or high-risk area. IMO is also coordinating with ship owners, operators, and marine representatives to find ways to help sailors get supplies and ensure their rights to the Maritime Convention.
