Shipping oil and chemicals through a war zone

Penalties should be imposed for companies shipping toxic chemicals through hostile waters. It's bad enough having giant tankers laden with oil or chemicals travelling through our oceans but going through waters where there is active hostility and targeting seems a ludicrous decision. Added to this the tanker was already leaching fertiliser into the sea! Where are the regulations to control and monitor shipping? We must stop polluting and potentially destroying ocean ecosystems! https://www.euronews.com/2024/03/03/ecological-disaster-as-houthi-sunk-ship-leaches-fertilizer-into-red-sea

    Shipping toxic chemicals through war zones is not only reckless but also poses grave risks to our oceans and marine life. Let's demand stricter regulations and monitoring to prevent further pollution and destruction of our ocean habitats!

              How careless is the UK government in this case? Not only are you endangering the sea, the animals there and the people of these areas, you're putting us all at risk of exposure if and when oil spills in such areas occur.

                It is not possible for companies to consider shipping toxic chemicals through hostile waters. Dead serious opt to be taken by UK government to those companies to protect our oceans.

                  It is concerning to see companies opting to ship toxic chemicals through hostile waters. The UK authorities must consider penalising such companies in a bid to protect our oceans.

                    It's irresponsible for companies to even consider shipping toxic chemicals through hostile waters.The UK Govt should take decisive action to penalize companies engaging in such reckless behavior and prioritize the protection of both people and the oceans.

                      @princess_nel_268 UK government must take a bold decision to stop this before things get out of hand.
