Anglo-Eastern: Being a ship manager now means being a risk manager...
posted on: May 28, 2026
Anglo-Eastern has examined what has changed in maritime security, the risks emerging from the increasingly interconnected security landscape and the six high-risk areas demanding continuous attention. Over the past two years, maritime security risk has moved from being viewed as a set of isolated regional threats to a persistent commercial reality affecting global trade. In the report “Foresights | How centralised intelligence is reshaping maritime security management”, Anglo-Eastern identifies how geopolitical fragmentation, sanctions complexity, electronic warfare, cyber exposure and rapidly evolving regional tensions now shape the operating environment for fleets trading across some of the world’s most critical routes. Six distinct high-risk areas and war risk zones demand continuous attention from fleet operators: the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb the east coast of Somalia the Gulf of Guinea the Straits of Malacca and the Black Sea and Ukrainian waters. The threats in each are different in...
Greek Crude Oil Tanker off Oman Reports Explosion and Fuel Leak...
posted on: May 28, 2026
A crude oil supertanker reported an explosion on Tuesday while it was off Oman near Muscat. The incident came shortly after Iran’s IRGC vowed revenge for U.S. strikes on boats in the Strait of Hormuz and missile sites on shore. Iran is calling the U.S. strikes a violation of the ceasefire, while the Supreme Leader has vowed the Middle East will not be a “shield” for U.S. forces. U.S. officials on Monday called the strikes “self-defense,” while officials in Washington insisted there continues to be progress on the negotiations. The tanker, which is identified as Olympic Life (318,676 dwt) in a Joint Maritime Information Center report, was reported to be 60 nautical miles east of Oman, placing it in the Arabian Sea. The vessel’s AIS signal shows it underway, moving away from Oman after having said it was coming from the Malacca anchorage and awaiting orders. Built in 2019, the vessel is Greek-owned...
Crew members ask to leave India a year after container vessel accident...
posted on: May 28, 2026
Seven crew members of the Liberia-flagged containership MSC Elsa 3 have approached the Kerala High Court seeking permission to leave India and return to their home countries, a year after the vessel sank off the Kerala coast on May 24, 2025. The crew members filed the plea on 22 May, asking for the return of their passports and alleging that their continued detention is illegal. They said they have cooperated with the investigation but remain unable to leave India because authorities require their presence for ongoing proceedings. The High Court has issued notices to the central government and the Kerala state government and posted the matter for hearing on May 29, 2026. The MSC Elsa 3 sank on May 24, 2025, about 14.6 nautical miles off the Kerala coast. All 24 crew members were rescued by the Indian Coast Guard at the time of the incident. In the months...
Chinese Refiners Are Absorbing Much of the Hit From Hormuz Shutdown...
posted on: May 28, 2026
Many oil market observers have been baffled by the consistently low pricing for crude benchmarks since the start of the Strait of Hormuz crisis knocked out 12-15 million barrels per day of Middle Eastern supply. Instead of soaring upwards on an updraft of inelastic demand, Brent prices have hovered in the range of $95-110 per barrel, depending upon the market’s changing expectations around the reopening of the strait. Part of the reason has been accelerated demand destruction in developing economies, but an even more significant element has become clear with new statistics on Chinese imports. China, a leading consumer of Mideast oil, has reduced its imports from its usual average of 11 million barrels per day down to just 6.6 million bpd in May, absorbing roughly one third of the shortage in the seaborne-traded market. “China’s sharp decline in #crude imports has unintentionally eased feedstock tightness across Asia....
Crew aboard containership reported safe following collision off Nigeria...
posted on: May 28, 2026
All 14 crew members aboard the Maersk Valparaiso were confirmed safe on 24 May following the containership’s collision with the Nigerian-flagged oil products tanker Lady Martina on 20 May in Nigeria’s Onne Bonny River. The incident left at least five people injured aboard the Lady Martina and caused major disruptions to maritime traffic after the Maersk Valparaiso blocked access to the river, halting vessel movements at both Port Harcourt and Onne Port. The collision marked the second maritime incident in just two days, prompting the Philippines’ Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) to issue a strong reminder to maritime stakeholders about the importance of ensuring the safety of vessels carrying Filipino seafarers. In a social media post, the DMW said the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) had activated emergency response procedures in coordination with pilots and other authorities. The agency also confirmed that all evacuated crew members aboard the Maersk Valparaiso were Filipino nationals....
Gibson: Even with immediate deal Hormuz recovery will take time...
posted on: May 27, 2026
According to Gibson’s latest Tanker Market Report, even if a comprehensive agreement between Iran, the US, Israel, and the GCC were reached today, the resumption of Middle East Gulf oil and product exports through the Strait of Hormuz would likely be gradual, uneven, and highly volatile, with full recovery potentially extending well into 2027. Outlook for a Middle East Gulf export recovery The Iran conflict is in its 12th week now, and the prospect for a deal which leads to normalization in the Middle East look tenuous. Despite seeing some progress in the number of tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz, compared to pre-war levels flows of oil and products remain at a trickle, with Iran and the US both vying for control. Numerous conditions would need to be met before pre-war traffic could resume; security guarantees, mine clearance, and a renewed insurance framework, among others. If these conditions are met,...

DUBAI/OSLO, May 26 (Reuters) – United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations said on Tuesday that a tanker had reported an external explosion on the vessel’s port side, close to the waterline, 60 nautical miles off Oman’s capital Muscat. UKMTO said the vessel, identified as the Olympic Life, and its crew were safe, although the tanker reported some bunker fuel had been discharged into the sea. It said the cause of the incident was unknown. The Reuters Iran Briefing newsletter keeps you informed with the latest developments and analysis of the Iran war. Sign up here.

Bulk Cargo Ship Arrives in Cuba Carrying Aid from China...
posted on: May 27, 2026
Aid shipments are continuing to arrive in Cuba despite the U.S. efforts to apply pressure on the Communist government of the Caribbean island. In the latest development, a Chinese-owned cargo ship arrived in Havana carrying what is reported to be the first of several major aid shipments coming from China. The bulk cargo ship Sunny Hong (33,847 dwt) was received in Havana by a government delegation on Saturday, May 23, thanking the Chinese for their support. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel called the shipment in a social media posting a “noble gesture of solidarity.” The vessel arrived carrying 15,000 tons of rice from China. The ship had left Qingdao on April 1 and transited the Panama Canal on May 8, but has largely been dark since then despite declaring it was bound for Cuba. Cuba’s Minister of Interior Trade, Betsy Diaz Velazquez, said it was greatly needed, and it would be immediately...
When muscles tighten at sea: Practical ways to relieve and prevent leg pain...
posted on: May 27, 2026
Muscle cramps in the legs are a common and often painful condition that can affect people of all ages. Whether they occur during physical activity, rest hours, or suddenly in the middle of the night, they can disrupt sleep, limit mobility, and leave lingering soreness for hours. For seafarers, leg cramps can be particularly challenging due to long shifts, physically demanding tasks, irregular sleep schedules, and prolonged periods spent standing or working in confined spaces. Whether during cargo operations, engine room duties, maintenance work, or watchkeeping, a sudden muscle cramp can affect both comfort and performance onboard. Although most cramps are harmless and short-lived, understanding their causes and adopting simple prevention strategies can help reduce their frequency and intensity, while also supporting crew wellbeing and operational fitness at sea. What causes leg cramps? A leg cramp occurs when a muscle suddenly contracts involuntarily and fails to relax properly. The...

On May 21, a small fishing vessel collided with a 230,000 dwt container ship in the Dutch sector of the North Sea. The smaller vessel sustained significant damage but miraculously remained afloat. On the morning of May 20, the 24,000 TEU container ship Singapore Express departed the Maasvlakte district of the port of Rotterdam and got under way, headed for Hamburg. She had rounded the West Frisian Islands and turned eastwards, making about 7-8 knots, when she encountered Stella Polaris (UK-22, IMO 8700802). The Polaris had been engaged in fishing in the North Sea and was headed southwards making nine knots, putting her in a crossing situation with Singapore Express. The two vessels collided at about 0100 GMT at a position to the north of Terschelling, AIS data provided by Pole Star Global shows.

DLR’s MODULARIS project gives shipowners a live testbed for digital and autonomous vessel systems...
posted on: May 26, 2026
Germany’s maritime research sector is preparing for a new phase of at-sea technology trials as DLR pushes ahead with MODULARIS, a research vessel built to test digital navigation, alternative fuels and autonomous systems under operational conditions. The 48-metre platform will allow researchers, shipbuilders and technology firms to trial emerging systems before they enter commercial fleets. This offers an early look at how future vessel technologies may perform outside laboratory settings. The keel-laying of the vessel took place on 20 May at FSG Shipyard in Flensburg. The German government has allocated €36 million for the project. DLR plans to use MODULARIS as a floating laboratory for propulsion systems, automation, digital communications and defence-related applications. Test voyages will take place in the North Sea, Baltic Sea and Mediterranean, with missions lasting up to seven days. The vessel will carry redundant safety and control systems so engineers can trial uncertified technologies in...

posted on: May 26, 2026
A major collision occured in the Singapore Strait on Tuesday as a Capesize bulker that was departing an anchorage encountered another Capesize that was passing by on a transit through the waterway. At about 1530 hours local time on the 19th, the 180,000 dwt bulker Cape XL (IMO 9590826) arrived at the famously busy anchorage off Changi Bay, Singapore. Per W.E. Cox, she had stopped to take on bunker fuel. At about 0600 hours on the morning of the 20th, she got under way once more and headed south towards the shipping lanes, AIS data (provided by Pole Star Global) shows. At the same time, the Capesize bulker Huge Kumano (IMO 9889277) was passing eastbound through the strait at nine knots, using the eastbound lane of the traffic separation scheme. Cape XL approached, heading south and making about six knots, and her bow struck the port side of Huge Kumano amidships. Locked together, the two vessels then...
