IBIA’s thoughts are with all our members, seafarers and shore-based personnel affected by the recent developments in the Gulf region. We join our fellow international industry associations in expressing concern and in calling for the protection of all those who support global trade.

We are monitoring the situation and we strongly encourage our members to rely only on verified, reputable sources of information and to ensure that all actions are guided by the latest maritime security guidance.

If any member requires clarification or support, please do not hesitate to contact the IBIA Secretariat.

The safety of our people and the stability of our industry remain our highest priorities.

Alexander Prokopakis

IBIA Executive Director
