HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and BAR Technologies target wider adoption of wind propulsion across future fleets...
posted on: Jun 3, 2026
Shipowners exploring fuel-saving technologies often face challenges integrating new systems into vessel designs. A new agreement between HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and BAR Technologies aims to make wind-assisted propulsion a more practical option for newbuild projects by incorporating WindWings® into ship design from the outset. Which technologies can deliver emissions reductions without disrupting commercial operations? Wind-assisted propulsion remains one of the options attracting growing attention, particularly as fuel costs and environmental regulations place greater pressure on fleet performance. Against that backdrop, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and BAR Technologies have agreed to collaborate on the technical and commercial development of WindWings®, BAR Technologies’ rigid wing sail system. The agreement seeks to integrate WindWings® into vessel design at an earlier stage. Engineers from both companies will work on connecting the WindWings® control system with HD Hyundai Heavy Industries’ integrated vessel control platform and establish methodologies for verifying performance in service.

posted on: Jun 3, 2026
Vizhinjam International Seaport in Kerala has crossed the landmark milestone of handling 2 million twenty-foot equivalent units within just 18 months of commencing operations, becoming the fastest Indian port to achieve the feat. The port, operated by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd for the Government of Kerala, commenced trial operations in July 2024 and was dedicated to the nation by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in May 2025. Vizhinjam crossed the 1 million TEU mark in August 2025, underlining the rapid operational scale-up achieved within a short span of time. Since commencing operations, the port has handled over 950 vessels, including 67 Ultra Large Container Vessels, each measuring nearly 400 metres in length. The port has also berthed some of the world’s most iconic container vessels, including MSC Irina, recognised as the world’s largest container ship, and MSC Verona, among the deepest-draft container vessels to call at an Indian port. Located just 10 nautical...
Oman Warns of Suspected Floating Mine in Hormuz, Reinforcing Shipping Industry Fears...
posted on: Jun 2, 2026
Oman’s Maritime Security Centre (MSC) on Saturday issued a navigation warning after a floating object suspected to be a naval mine was sighted within Omani territorial waters near the Strait of Hormuz, marking the clearest indications yet of a risk maritime industry groups have warned about for months. The MSC said the object was spotted west of the Inshore Traffic Zone in the Strait of Hormuz and urged seafarers, fishermen, and commercial vessels to exercise extreme caution while navigating in the area. Authorities advised mariners to maintain a safe distance from suspicious objects and report them immediately. Omani authorities have not confirmed the object is a mine, nor have they attributed it to any state or actor. The warning specifically described it as a “floating object suspected to be a floating mine.” Video Unpaused Still, the alert arrives amid increasingly urgent warnings from both military officials and shipping organizations that...
Shipping connectivity enters a new operational phase...
posted on: Jun 2, 2026
For years, vessel connectivity served a limited operational purpose. Communications largely revolved around e-mail, emergency voice traffic and periodic data exchange with shore teams. That picture is changing as low earth orbit satellite services gain traction across commercial fleets. Jimmy Grewal, Managing Director of Elcome, said modern broadband connectivity gives shipowners the ability to rethink how vessels interact with shore operations and onboard systems. Speaking during an interview with the Digital Ship on maritime digitalisation and connectivity, Grewal described LEO services such as Starlink and Amazon Leo as an opportunity to support more integrated operations at sea. “Traditionally, connectivity has not played an integral role in operations beyond basic communications, e-mail and emergency voice,” Grewal said. “With the advent of satellite broadband services like Starlink and Amazon Leo, there is now the opportunity for systems on board a ship and the processes that the crew follow to be enhanced with...
U.S. Forces Disable Commercial Vessel, Showing Iran Blockade Still Active Despite Peace Talks...
posted on: Jun 2, 2026
U.S. forces disabled a commercial vessel in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday after its crew allegedly ignored repeated warnings and continued toward an Iranian port in violation of the U.S.-enforced maritime blockade, underscoring that enforcement actions remain firmly in place despite signs of diplomatic progress between Washington and Tehran. In a statement released Saturday, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said a U.S. aircraft fired a Hellfire missile into the engine room of the Gambia-flagged cargo vessel Lian Star on May 29 after the ship failed to comply with more than 20 warnings from U.S. forces. “CENTCOM forces observed M/V Lian Star transiting international waters toward an Iranian port on the Gulf of Oman and issued more than 20 warnings while informing the vessel it was in violation of the U.S. blockade,” the command said. The strike disabled the vessel and prevented it from continuing its voyage, according to CENTCOM. No information...
USCG Catches Four Chinese Stowaways on Barge Arriving From Florida...
posted on: Jun 2, 2026
Last weekend, the U.S. Coast Guard busted a group of eight stowaways on a barge in San Juan’s harbor, the latest in a string of interdictions on tug-and-tow traffic to Puerto Rico. This time was different in the unusual composition of the would-be immigrant group and the last port of call: the group was on board a vessel that had departed from the continental United States, not a foreign country. On May 22, Sector San Juan received a report from CBP’s Air and Marine Operations Center, which reported that possible stowaways had been spotted aboard the barge tow connected to the U.S.-flagged tug Southern Dawn. AIS data provided by Pole Star Global shows that Southern Dawn’s port of departure was Jacksonville, Florida. She left on May 16 and got under way for Puerto Rico, maintaining a steady speed of 7-8 knots throughout the voyage and making no foreign...
India Secures Release of 10 Crewmembers Detained for 10 Months in Iran...
posted on: Jun 1, 2026
India’s Directorate General of Shipping is reporting that 10 Indian nationals detained in Iran for the past 10 months have been released and repatriated. The individuals were working aboard a small product tanker seized by Iran as part of its crackdown on fuel smuggling in the region. The Directorate General reports the release is the result of a sustained diplomatic effort involving the ministries for shipping and external affairs, the shipping company and its managers, and the Indian embassy in Tehran. It reports that the crewmembers had been detained, arrested, and imprisoned in Iran. The product tanker Harbour Phoenix (7,628 dwt) was stopped by the Iranians in July 2025. The vessel, which was built in 1994, is managed out of the UAE and registered in Palau. It was accused of smuggling fuel with the Iranian Border Police and the Iranian Navy, saying they worked jointly as part of the...
Three Arrested, One Dead in Cocaine Bust at Mundra Port...
posted on: Jun 1, 2026
The Indian Coast Guard and partner agencies have seized about 115 kilos of cocaine from a boxship, a small bust by global standards but a significant development for India. The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) detected an inbound shipment aboard the container ship Europe (IMO 9285988) through a tip-off. When the ship arrived at an anchorage off Mundra Port last weekend, the Indian Coast Guard and the ATS were waiting. Under cover of darkness, they watched from a launch as two crewmembers aboard the Europe threw a series of bags over the side. Five bags were recovered, each containing kilo bricks of powder and electronic tracking devices. The substance tested positive for cocaine. On boarding the Europe, the officers arrested one foreign citizen who was allegedly involved in the smuggling attempt. One additional crewmember jumped over the side and is believed to be dead, officials said. The ATS has identified...
U.S. Strikes Iranian Drone Launcher After Attack on Merchant Shipping...
posted on: Jun 1, 2026
On Wednesday, U.S. forces conducted a limited strike on Iranian territory in response to Iranian actions in the Strait of Hormuz, the second such strike since the beginning of the week. The incident illustrates the continued high risk to shipping in the waterway, even as negotiations move forwards. Iranian forces launched four one-way attack drones at merchant vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal. U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy fighter jets responded and shot down all four before they could reach their targets. Navy F/A-18 Hornet fighters proceeded to destroy the Iranian ground control unit for the drone launches – located near Bandar Abbas – before it could threaten shipping any further, the officials said. Officials emphasized that the drones were a threat to commercial traffic, and that the actions were “measured, purely defensive, and intended to maintain the ceasefire.”...
Fire in ship at Ctg port brought under control...
posted on: May 29, 2026
The fire that erupted on Thursday in the engine room of the commercial oil tanker MT Meghna Traders, currently docked at the outer anchorage of Chattogram Port, has been successfully brought under control nearly four hours of frantic efforts. The Chattogram Port Authority said that the fire was extinguished at approximately 11:30 am on Thursday. Earlier, a blaze ignited in the engine room of the vessel anchored at Charlie Point, the outer anchorage of Chattogram Port near Parky Beach, around 7:30 am today. Following the incident, the crews were promptly evacuated from the engine room, and carbon dioxide was sprayed on the ship to suppress the flames. Upon receiving the alert, Chattogram Port tugboats Kandari-3 and Kandari-11, along with the Bangladesh Navy tug BNT Sevak and the Bangladesh Coast Guard tugboat Pramatta, arrived at the scene and commenced firefighting operations. The Bangladesh Coast Guard indicated that Coast Guard ship Shyamal Bangla and...

Oman Leverages its Influence With Iran to Resolve Strait of Hormuz Impasse...
posted on: May 29, 2026
In parallel with ceasefire talks between American and Iranian diplomats in Islamabad and Doha, Oman hosted an Iranian delegation in Muscat on May 24 to discuss the specific question of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Oman has clearly stated its position that it wishes to return to the antebellum situation in the Strait of Hormuz, where the IMO-endorsed Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) has the force of international law, previously a status recognized by both Iran and Oman. Both channels of the TSS lie entirely in Omani territorial waters, and for decades Oman has administered and overseen the TSS operation as a free service, without tolls or pilotage fees, for the international maritime community. But Oman has taken an independent line in the peace talks between Iran and its adversaries. It did not join Circular Letter 5028 submitted to the International Maritime Organisation on May 20 by all the GCC states, less...
