Travlos: Freedom of navigation is a shared global duty

President of the Union of Greek Shipowners Melina Travlos, in a statement, expressed her deep sorrow over the recent loss of seafarers and attacks on merchant ships. She also points out that the protection of freedom of navigation is everyone's duty.
Travlos’ statement is as follows:
"We express our deep sorrow for the loss of seafarers in the line of duty, as well as for the attacks on ships that serve the smooth functioning of the global supply chain. The targeting of shipping, economically, politically, and operationally, harms international security and the well-being of the world's citizens. Protecting freedom of navigation is the duty of all of us, as it is the foundation of peace, stability, and humanity. The seas must be free and safe."
