STRONG DEMAND TO ALL SHIPOWNERS HAVING UKRAINIAN SEAFARERS ON BOARD THEIR SHIPS

Avoid calling the ports of Russian Federation in order to secure safety of Ukrainian crews on board your ships. Support the world in its opposition to the Russian aggression.

We keep receiving messages on cases of ‘inappropriate attitude’ towards the Ukrainian seafarers visiting the ports of Russian Federation during the past 6 days - examples of gross violations of international regulations - when Ukrainian seafarers get disembarked from the ships and detained due to their personal attitude towards the political situation in their home country.

Wishing for a peaceful sky above for all of us.

Sincerely yours,

MTWTU Chairman Oleg Grygoriuk
