国际运输工人联盟谴责黑海船舶遇袭事件并呼吁保护海员
ITF condemns Black Sea vessel attacks and calls for protection of seafarers
国际运输工人联盟（ITF）谴责最近发生在黑海针对船舶的袭击事件，并警告说，海员绝不能成为冲突目标，无论何时，他们的安全和权利必须获得保护。
The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) has condemned the latest attack on vessels operating in the Black Sea, warning that seafarers must never be treated as targets in conflict and that their safety and rights must be protected at all times.
据报道，一艘途经乌克兰专属经济区前往新罗西斯克的油轮，遭到乌克兰海上无人机的袭击并失去动力。据称，此为近数周以来，涉及俄罗斯「影子舰队」船只的第三宗类似事件。
Reports indicate that a tanker transiting Ukraine’s exclusive economic zone en route to Novorossiysk was struck and disabled by Ukrainian sea drones, in what is believed to be the third such incident in recent weeks involving vessels described as part of Russia’s “shadow fleet”.
虽然涉事船只可能与规避制裁或更广泛的地缘政治紧张局势有关，但ITF强调，船上的平民船员并非冲突参与者。他们大多是来自不同国家的海员，在艰苦的环境下工作，往往收入微薄，保障不足。任何原因都不能够成为他们遭受暴力侵害的理由。根据国际法，平民海员必须始终受到保护。
While the ships involved may be linked to sanctions evasion or wider geopolitical tensions, the ITF stressed that the civilian crews onboard are not participants in conflict. Many are multinational seafarers working under difficult conditions, often with poor pay and weak protections. None of that justifies exposing them to violence. Civilian seafarers must be protected at all times under international law.
「海员不是战争武器，」 ITF海员分会副主席兼Nautilus International秘书长Mark Dickinson表示，「他们只是普通民众，只是在履行自己的职责，而且常常身处极其艰难、危险的环境中。」
“Seafarers are not a weapon of war,” said Mark Dickinson, Vice Chair of the ITF Seafarers’ Section and General Secretary of Nautilus International. “They are civilians simply doing their jobs, often in extremely difficult and precarious conditions.
「在方便旗制度下——船东在与本国没有真正联系的国家注册船舶，因此监管薄弱——许多海员是从那些体面工作机会稀缺的国家招募的。这使得他们几乎没有能力拒绝危险的航程，而且往往不清楚船舶的目的地或所涉及的风险。」
“Under the Flag of Convenience system – where shipowners register vessels in countries without a genuine link and therefore weak oversight – many seafarers are recruited from nations where decent job opportunities are scarce. That leaves them with little real power to refuse dangerous voyages, and often without clear information about where a ship is bound or the risks involved.
「无论船舶悬挂哪国国旗，无论其载运何种货物，也无论冲突的政治背景如何，针对海员或将他们置于危险境地都是完全不可接受的。」
“Regardless of the flag a vessel flies, the cargo it carries, or the politics surrounding a conflict, targeting seafarers or placing them in harm’s way is completely unacceptable.”
ITF警告，在缺乏健全监管框架的船舶上工作的船员往往是全球航运业中最脆弱的群体之一，许多人面临更高的剥削风险和不安全的工作环境——当冲突蔓延到商业航线时，这些风险只会加剧。
The ITF warned that crews working on vessels without strong regulatory frameworks are often among the most vulnerable in the global shipping industry. Many face heightened exposure to exploitation and unsafe working conditions – risks that are only compounded when conflict spills into commercial shipping routes.
「許多海員已經在航運業最危險的環節工作，而這個行業卻常常讓他們失望，」Dickinson說，「這漏洞不能成為暴力的藉口。任何政治或軍事目標都不能成為危及平民船員安全的理由。”
“Many of these seafarers are already working at the sharp end of an industry that too often fails them,” Dickinson said. “That vulnerability cannot be used to excuse violence. No political or military objective justifies endangering civilian crews.”
自俄乌战争爆发以来，黑海已成为商船航行的危险区域，平民海员面临水雷、无人机和飞弹袭击的持续威胁。
Since the start of the Russia–Ukraine war, the Black Sea has been transformed into an active danger zone for merchant shipping, where civilian seafarers face the real and ongoing threat of mines, drones, and missile strikes.
ITF再次呼吁冲突各方遵守国际人道法和海事法，缓和紧张局势，并采取一切必要措施来保障平民船员的安全。
The ITF reiterated its call on all parties to conflicts to uphold international humanitarian and maritime law, to de-escalate tensions, and to take all necessary steps to safeguard civilian seafarers.
「即使在战争和危机时期，海员也保障着全球贸易正常运转，」Dickinson说。 「他们绝不能被视为可有可无的牺牲品或受间接伤害。ITF谴责任何伤害或危及世界各地海员的袭击，我们将继续发声，直到他们的安全得到充分保障。」
“Seafarers keep global trade moving, even during times of war and crisis,” Dickinson said. “They must not be treated as expendable or as collateral damage. The ITF condemns any attack that harms or endangers seafarers anywhere in the world, and we will continue to speak out until their safety is fully respected.”
ITF将继续密切关注局势，并随时准备为受黑海或其他受冲突影响水域事件影响的任何海员提供支援。
The ITF continues to monitor the situation closely and stands ready to support any seafarers affected by incidents in the Black Sea or other conflict-affected waters.
