Thirty-two organisations from across the shipping industry are asking the United Nations to step in and evacuate the 331 seafarers trapped in Ukraine.
In a letter to secretary general Antonio Guterres, the group — including the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), Bimco, Intermanager, national shipowning associations and seafarer welfare groups — asked the UN to use its “diplomatic influence” to “address this matter urgently”.
