World trade depends on seafarers. Every day, they transport the goods that power economies and support communities worldwide—often while facing significant risks at sea. #DayoftheSeafarer

On this #DayOfTheSeafarer, I had the pleasure to interview @IMOSecGen for an upcoming episode of @UN podcast Awake at Night. Earlier this week @IMOHQ announced a major operation to help evacuate over 11,000 seafarers stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, after months of hardship.

IMO pauses evacuation plan. "I have been informed of an attack today in the Gulf of Oman. Seafarer safety remains paramount. To ensure coordinated approach & navigational safety, the IMO evacuation plan will be paused until further clarity." - @IMOSecGen tinyurl.com/yty3ejex

Seafarers play a crucial role in our global economy, spending weeks at sea to transport the goods we rely on every day. On the #DayOfTheSeafarer, we celebrate them and reaffirm @ITU’s commitment to keeping them connected and safe through essential communication standards.

Close to 90% of global trade moves by sea. 🚢 Seafarers make it possible. 👨‍✈️ 👩‍✈️ The Maritime Labour Convention sets minimum standards to protect them, from wages and safety to dignity. ⚓ #DecentWork at sea matters. #DayoftheSeafarer
