International Maritime Organization Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez released a statement on Wednesday condemning Tuesday's deadly attack on a cargo ship off the coast of Yemen. At least six people were killed in two attacks on the Egyptian-owned Tihamah cargo ship on Tuesday, Yemeni officials said. "It is particularly troublesome that the most recent attack has taken place in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden area," Dominguez said. "I reiterate my call for shipowners and ship operators to thoroughly assess risks before transiting this and other regions and follow appropriate best management practices." "These continued attacks on shipping only serve to escalate tensions and threaten global supply chains on which everyone depends," he added.
