Seafarers calling at Ukrainian ports will receive specialist safety kits designed to mitigate the risks posed by missile and drone attacks under a new initiative from maritime charity Stella Maris.

This initiative has been made possible through funding from Den Norske Krigsforsikring for Skib (DNK), whose support has enabled Stella Maris
