IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim has “noted with great concern the attack on the Liberia flagged oil tanker MV Mercer Street off the coast of Oman during the night of 29 to 30 July 2021 and condemns the attack in the strongest terms.
Our thoughts are with the crew and the families of the two crew members who were killed during the incident.
Unhindered and safe global navigation is a prerequisite for keeping the world’s supply chains going and this is even more important during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The IMO remains committed to facilitating safe and secure shipping.”
