Statement by the Union of Greek Shipowners’ President,
Melina Travlos
on Maritime Security.

“We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of on-duty seafarers and by recent attacks on vessels crucial to global trade and supply chains.

The weaponizing of shipping economically, politically and physically, directly undermines international security and global prosperity.

Defending freedom of navigation is a collective responsibility and a cornerstone of peace, stability and humanity. The seas must be open, free, safe, and secure.”

Melina Travlos,
President, Union of Greek Shipowners
