IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Domingues said on Oct. 16 that security in the Strait of Hormuz and adjacent waters is deteriorating and transit risk remains high.

He said shipping should not be used as a pressure tool in conflicts and that only addressing the crisis’s root causes will create conditions for restoring regional navigational safety.
