Survitec: Vessel detentions are a result of systemic management failures...
posted on: Aug 16, 2026
A newly-published paper by Survitec finds it is clear that most detentions are not imposed following sudden, acute or catastrophic failures, but are a result of systemic management failures that were detectable and preventable. In the, “In-port Detentions: The costs and implications for an ageing fleet – and how to avoid them” white paper, Survitec informs that Global inspections have plateaued at around 75,000 per year since 2023, while detention outcomes have worsened. Credit: Survitec Tokyo and Paris MoUs cover the busiest routes and account for over 80% of all PSC inspections and detentions. Detentions under the Tokyo MoU have more than doubled over the past five years, and the Black Sea MoU recorded the highest detention rates relative to inspections, driven in part by a concentration of older tonnage. As informed, many of the deficiencies identified are not simply compliance issues but relate directly to the operational readiness...
Two Tankers Attacked as UAE Expands Hormuz Oil Shuttle...
posted on: Aug 16, 2026
Two tankers affiliated with Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. were struck by drones while sailing outbound through the Strait of Hormuz, just a day after reports emerged that the UAE state oil company was expanding its increasingly important shuttle operation to move Iraqi crude through the contested waterway. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) issued two separate attack warnings Friday after receiving reports from military authorities that tankers had been struck by unmanned aerial vehicles while conducting outbound transits of the Strait. Both vessels suffered minor damage, while their crews were reported safe and accounted for. No environmental impact was reported. ADNOC confirmed Thursday evening that two of its vessels were attacked and said the situations had been brought under control. The United Arab Emirates blamed Iran for the strikes, which marked the latest attacks on ADNOC-linked shipping in less than a week. “The United Arab Emirates has...
Seven die in toxic gas leak at Bangladesh shipbreaking yard...
posted on: Aug 15, 2026
Seven workers have been reported dead after a toxic gas leak at a ship recycling yard in Bangladesh. The accident occurred on Friday morning at Ferdous Steel Ship Recycling Industries in Bhatiyari, Sitakunda, a facility authorised under the IMO’s Hong Kong Convention on ship recycling. Local news agency UNB reported that two workers died at the yard and another five subsequently died at Chattogram Medical College Hospital. Several more workers were taken ill. Initial reports described an explosion, but Chattogram police said the casualties were caused by toxic gas escaping from a tank aboard a vessel being dismantled. The vessel has been identified locally as an LNG carrier nearing the end of the dismantling process. Yard officials said liquid waste had been discovered in part of the ship before a safety officer and other workers went to inspect the area. Bangladesh’s Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments has launched an...
Fifty-two discoveries in Maldivian waters, no Maldivian authors...
posted on: Aug 15, 2026
ver four decades, scientists documented new species, new behaviours and new discoveries about the Maldivian marine environment in 60 peer-reviewed studies. Fifty-two of them did not include a single Maldivian author. The studies where local knowledge might be expected to count for most are the ones where Maldivians are least present. That is the picture that emerged from a study conducted by Hana Amir and Aishath Sara Hashim. Their abstract asked the question directly: Dhivehin kobaa? (Where are the Maldivians?) Their study examined scientific literature published between 1985 and 2025. It did not focus on policy interventions, Hana said, but this is the first time that “anyone’s put numbers on the problem”. Across 460 peer-reviewed studies about the Maldives published over 40 years, Maldivians led just seven per cent. Hana, a coral ecologist, presented the findings last Tuesday during the Sixth Maldives Marine Science Symposium. Sara is a researcher at the Maldives Marine Research Institute,...
USS Abraham Lincoln sailors tried to jump overboard amid extended deployment – reports...
posted on: Aug 15, 2026
Military families and Congress members are sounding the alarm about an intensifying mental health crisis onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, as its 5,000 sailors and marines endure a record-breaking deployment at sea tied to the war with Iran. Two leading specialist military papers, the Navy Times and Stars and Stripes, are reporting that there have been multiple attempts by sailors to jump overboard as poor conditions and mental stresses on the Lincoln reach the breaking point. The crew is in its ninth month at sea, and has spent 250 days consecutively without making land – a record for an aircraft carrier in modern times. Worried families vented their anxieties about loved ones onboard the Lincoln at an emotional town hall meeting with navy leaders in San Diego last Thursday, Stars and Stripes reported. One spouse among the 200 or so family members said that her husband had texted her that day saying “he hopes...
UAE Shuttles Iraqi Oil Exports Through the Strait of Hormuz...
posted on: Aug 14, 2026
By Serene Cheong, Yongchang Chin and Rakesh Sharma (Bloomberg) — Abu Dhabi National Oil Co.’s trading arm is offering to shuttle exports of Iraqi oil through the Strait of Hormuz, using its dark-transit playbook to transport Basrah and other crude to refiners in Asia, according to people familiar with the matter. The United Arab Emirates’ state oil company has been the most successful producer at getting its crude out of the Persian Gulf through the Hormuz. It has used so-called shuttling tactics, where vessels make short trips — often with their transponders turned off to avoid detection — before typically transferring their cargoes to other ships just outside the gulf. In recent days, Adnoc has offered spot cargoes to Asian buyers, using the same method to carry crude from other Middle Eastern producers, most notably Iraq, the people said, asking not to be named as they’re not allowed to speak to...
Oil Spill From Grounded Shadow Fleet Tanker Could Rival Exxon Valdez...
posted on: Aug 14, 2026
By Jonathan Saul and Catherine Cartier LONDON, Aug 12 (Reuters) – A vast oil spill in the Gulf is quickly becoming one of the world’s worst in years after being allowed to spread almost unchecked for weeks, according to international agencies, satellite imagery and environmental groups. The slick off the coast of Oman from a grounded tanker carrying Russian crude had reportedly reached the mainland by Wednesday, the U.N.’s shipping agency told Reuters. The slick now covers an area of more than 2,000 square km, said John Amos, an oil spill specialist who reviewed satellite imagery obtained by Reuters. The Caroline Bezengi, carrying an estimated 800,000 barrels of Russian oil and under international sanctions, ran aground on June 30 at an Omani island that is part of a marine nature reserve. The ship first reported difficulties off Yemen on June 8. Maritime sources said a blast appeared to have occurred aboard the Caroline Bezengi. No party has claimed an attack, but the vessel...
Sulphuric acid tanker suffers explosion during repairs off Norway...
posted on: Aug 14, 2026
A tanker carrying sulfuric acid suffered an explosion and caught on fire in the Skagerrak off Hvaler, Østfold, Norway, on the afternoon of 10 August. The 124-metre, 12,696 dwt Bergstraum was undergoing repairs in its forepeak when welding work ignited fumes, triggering an explosion and subsequent fire. The blast was powerful enough to blow iron lock doors off their hinges. The 15 crew members on board were unharmed. Norwegian authorities responded by sending rescue helicopters and patrol boats to the vessel. The crew used foam to contain the fire while water was applied to cool the hull. The blaze was extinguished later that day, according to reports. An inspection found no evidence of pollution or any release of the vessel’s sulfuric acid cargo. The circumstances surrounding the incident remain under investigation. source :...

posted on: Aug 14, 2026
Shortly after the war with Iran started in late February, one military spouse was about to go back to Bahrain with her husband. Then they got a call from the U.S. Navy. “A day before we were supposed to leave to be stationed at Bahrain together, we were told we need to go somewhere else for a short period of time, and then here we are five months later,” she said. NPR has agreed to withhold their names and location. The Navy spouse is concerned about the potential impact on her husband’s career. The two of them are now living out of three duffel bags, in their seventh hotel room. “We were at one location for a while and then, spur of the moment, sent to another location for what ended up being 10 weeks,” she said. “So it’s a lot of moving with very short notice, and you...
DP World unit picks up Transworld’s largest boxship...
posted on: Aug 13, 2026
India’s Transworld Shipping Lines is continuing its boxship sell-down to DP World-controlled Avana Logistek, agreeing to sell the SSL Brahmaputra for $11.4m. The Mumbai-listed owner, formerly known as Shreyas Shipping & Logistics, signed a memorandum of agreement for the vessel on August 7, according to an NSE filing. The 2003-built ship, with capacity of around 4,250 teu, joined the Shreyas fleet in 2017 after being acquired as the Queens Quay. Renamed SSL Brahmaputra, the vessel was the company’s largest containership at the time. The deal follows a string of Transworld boxship sales to DP World unit this year involving the SSL Krishna, SSL Godavari, SSL Gujarat, SSL Bharat, SSL Mumbai and SSL Thamirabarani. The fleet sales add another chapter to the companies’ shared history. DP World’s Unifeeder agreed to buy Avana Logistek, Transworld Feeders FZCO and the Indian coastal and EXIM feeder operations of Shreyas in 2020, but the shipowning and bulk businesses were...
Sale of major shipping line in U.S. trade on the rocks: Report...
posted on: Aug 13, 2026
The proposed sale of Israel’s flag carrier to a German liner for $4.2 billion is likely to be rejected by state authorities. The acquisition of Zim Integrated Shipping Services to Hapag-Lloyd of Germany and an Israeli financier is in serious regulatory trouble in Israel and looks more likely to be blocked than approved, at least in its current form, according to local media. The merger agreement itself is still formally in place and moving through global antitrust reviews, but the Israeli government’s internal process is reportedly trending negative. In February Zim, the world’s 10th-largest container line, signed a definitive agreement to be acquired for $35 a share in cash by fifth-ranked Hapag-Lloyd and FIMI Opportunity Funds, Israel’s largest private equity firm. The agreement includes a carve‑out for national security purposes that would spin off an Israeli-controlled company, New Zim, backed by FIMI. Zim’s U.S.-linked trans-Pacific volume is roughly 1.6...
Putin says Russia will start seizing European vessels if its ships targeted...

MOSCOW, Aug 12 (Reuters) – President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia will respond in kind if European countries start to seize Russian merchant vessels and the commander of Russia’s Pacific Fleet said his forces were ready to “inspect and detain” foreign vessels from what he called hostile states. The comments, which Putin made as he oversaw navy drills in Russia’s far east, come as the EU tries to ratchet up pressure on Russia’s so-called shadow fleet, expanding sanctions against hundreds of vessels and detaining some ships and their crews for checks. Some European governments have said they are exploring tougher maritime enforcement measures against ships suspected of sanctions evasion.
