Singapore Strait robbery spike sparks fresh security warning...
posted on: Nov 13, 2026
A sudden resurgence in robberies aboard merchant ships in the Singapore Strait has prompted regional maritime security authorities to issue an urgent warning, with three vessels boarded in nine days and one seafarer injured. The ReCAAP Information Sharing Centre issued an incident alert yesterday following attacks on two bulk carriers and a tanker between November 2 and 10, warning that further incidents are possible. All three robberies occurred in the eastbound lane of the Traffic Separation Scheme, within approximately 3.2 nautical miles of each other. The first incident involved the bulk carrier Star Calypso, boarded at 2125 hrs on November 2. The second, involving the bulk carrier APJ Priti 2, took place late on November 4, followed by an attack on the tanker Salsa in the early hours of November 10. One crewmember sustained injuries during the attacks. Engine spare parts were stolen from two vessels, while nothing was...
Iraq Has Reached Understandings With US To Allow Oil Exports Through Hormuz...
posted on: Nov 13, 2026
Iraq has reached understandings with the United States to allow Iraqi oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz via a shipping lane near Oman, Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said in an interview with Al Jazeera. He said Iraq’s losses from the Iran war and disruptions to oil exports had reached $60 billion. Iraq’s oil exports recovered in October after a sharp drop the previous month. Exports rose to about 3.5 million barrels per day from 2.65 million bpd in September, according to Iraqi energy officials. source :...
WMU: Alternative-fuel fleets grow as new investment slows...
posted on: Nov 13, 2026
Shipping’s transition toward alternative fuels continues to advance, but regulatory uncertainty, fuel availability and infrastructure gaps are complicating long-term investment decisions. According to the Global Green Shipping Development Report 2025–2026, jointly prepared by the World Maritime University (WMU) and the Shanghai International Shipping Institute (SISI), alternative-fuel fleets are expanding even as shipowners become more cautious about new investments. The report published in November, examines developments from October 2025 to September 2026. The findings highlight a growing disconnect between the pace of regulatory implementation and the development of fuel markets, technologies and supporting infrastructure. As shipping companies navigate these uncertainties, energy efficiency is emerging as an increasingly important means of reducing emissions and controlling operating costs. Regulatory uncertainty complicates investment decisions A central finding of the report is that progress toward globally harmonized emissions regulations has slowed, while regional requirements continue to advance. The postponement of the IMO Net-Zero Framework’s...

Morning Briefing — Thursday, November 12, 2026 1. World developments Russia and Ukraine agreed to a major prisoner exchange but made little progress toward ending the war. The two-day Abu Dhabi talks concluded with an agreement in principle, with numbers to be determined today. U.S. mediators said low trust, territory and security guarantees remain the main obstacles. The Straits TimesWhy it matters: The exchange is a meaningful humanitarian result, but neither Moscow nor Kyiv showed willingness to compromise on Donbas or Ukraine’s future alignment. U.S. envoys will continue shuttle diplomacy. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are expected to meet Vladimir Putin in Moscow and then Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Dublin. European representatives consulted Kyiv in Abu Dhabi but were excluded from direct discussions with Russia. ABC NewsWhy it matters: Moving discussions to the presidential level could test whether the territorial impasse reflects negotiating positions or final political decisions. Fighting continued...
LNG Traffic Through Hormuz Hits Highest Level Since Iran War Began...
posted on: Nov 12, 2026
Exports of liquefied natural gas via the Strait of Hormuz last month reached the highest total since February, at 31 tankers, compared with 27 in September, according to data from Kpler, as cited by Reuters. What is perhaps more impressive is that most of these cargoes were loaded from Qatar’s Ras Laffan hub, despite it still being under force majeure. In two cases, per Kpler, LNG cargoes loaded at Ras Laffan were then transferred to other tankers once the original vessels had cleared the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the increase in loadings, the total from Qatar is far from pre-war levels. In February, Qatar’s total LNG exports hit close to 6.2 million tons, Kpler said, while the October total stood at 2.7 million tons. Unlike Qatar, the UAE has managed to restore its exports of liquefied natural gas to pre-war levels, the data suggests. October loadings from Das Island...
Maritime coalition targets 20% electrification by 2035...
posted on: Nov 12, 2026
More than 30 maritime organisations have joined forces at the COP31 climate summit in Turkey to push for electricity to account for at least 20% of international shipping’s energy consumption by 2035. The Maritime Electrification Breakthrough Goal, launched yesterday in Antalya by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and RMI, has attracted support from organisations including the Port of Long Beach, Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance (ZEMBA) and Maritime Battery Forum. The target equates to approximately two exajoules, or 556 terawatt-hours, of electricity annually — equivalent to more than a year’s electricity consumption in France — underlining the enormous investment in power generation, port infrastructure and charging facilities that would be required. More than 1,600 electric and hybrid vessels are already operating worldwide, according to Maritime Battery Forum figures cited by the coalition. Research highlighted in the initiative suggests vessel segments representing around 30% of maritime energy consumption could be...
Career Paths: Stef Kenyon, UK Chamber of Shipping...
posted on: Nov 12, 2026
Stef Kenyon, Director of External Affairs at the UK Chamber of Shipping, shares how she entered the shipping industry and the lessons learned throughout her career. Drawing on her communications experience, Stef highlights the value of meaningful professional relationships built on trust, openness and collaboration. She also stresses the importance of asking the right questions and listening carefully, rather than always having something to say. Looking ahead, Stef calls for greater recognition of shipping’s contribution to economic growth, national resilience and everyday life. She believes the industry must tell its story more confidently while ensuring it remains competitive and able to invest in its people, technology and transition. SAFETY4SEA: How did it come about that you joined the shipping industry and your field of expertise specifically? Stef Kenyon: My background is in campaigns, communications and public affairs, but I’m something of a shipping boomerang returning to industry in 2025...
CIEL: INEOS ethane trade up 7.3-fold as carrier emissions come under scrutiny...
posted on: Nov 12, 2026
A new brief from the Center for International Environmental Law traces 790 shipments of US ethane on INEOS-branded vessels since 2016 and says the upstream emissions behind the trade go largely uncounted. Owners and managers who charter tonnage into the trade should expect closer scrutiny of the cargo they carry. The volume of US ethane shipped by or for INEOS rose from 429 kt in 2016 to 3,130 kt in 2025, roughly a 7.3-fold increase, according to a brief from the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL). The report, Leaky Promises, argues that the emissions tied to this feedstock are missing from INEOS’s public documents. That includes the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for Project ONE, the company’s ethane cracker in Antwerp. CIEL commissioned the research from Data Desk. Data Desk combined LSEG petrochemical trade flow data, US Customs and Border Protection clearance records and AIS vessel tracking. The dataset...
Shipping groups propose revised CII calculation methodology...
posted on: Nov 12, 2026
BIMCO and major shipping organizations are calling for changes to IMO carbon intensity ratings to better reflect vessel efficiency and reduce distortions caused by port operations. In a proposal submitted to the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 85), scheduled for November 30 to December 3, 2026, BIMCO and six other co-sponsors are seeking a reassessment of the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) framework, focusing on fuel consumption while vessels are under way. The submission, jointly sponsored by the Bahamas, Liberia, BIMCO, the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), INTERTANKO, INTERCARGO and the International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA), argues that the current calculation can produce ratings that do not accurately reflect a ship’s operational efficiency. Why current CII ratings may be misleading Under the existing framework, a vessel’s annual CII calculation includes fuel consumed both at sea and during periods when it is not under way, including port...
Coast Guard Airlifts Four Oil Tanker Crew Members After Suspected Food Poisoning...
posted on: Nov 12, 2026
The U.S. Coast Guard evacuated four crew members from a Cyprus-flagged oil tanker off Puerto Rico on Sunday after they reportedly fell ill with suspected food poisoning. An MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station Borinquen conducted the rescue approximately one nautical mile south of Vieques, Puerto Rico, hoisting all four mariners from the 328-foot tanker Daibelli. The operation began after the vessel’s master contacted Coast Guard Rescue Sub-Center San Juan Saturday night to report that four crew members were experiencing symptoms consistent with food poisoning. The helicopter crew successfully hoisted the mariners aboard despite challenging conditions on the vessel. “The vessel presented a challenging hoisting environment, but through excellent crew resource management, teamwork, and adaptability, we were able to identify the safest and most effective location to conduct the hoists,” said Lt. Stan Raymond, the helicopter’s co-pilot. “I’m grateful our crew was able to safely evacuate...

Bulgarian authorities are investigating the discovery of human remains aboard a drone-struck tanker after six missing seafarers were reportedly found. The remains of six seafarers have reportedly been discovered aboard the Wine Trader, which was struck by a drone near Romania’s Black Sea coast on October 15. According to Bulgarian broadcaster NOVA, the country’s Ministry of Interior confirmed the discovery on November 7, after the damaged vessel was brought to a ship repair facility in Varna. In an official statement, the Varna District Prosecutor’s Office confirmed that severely damaged human remains were found during debris removal operations aboard the tanker. The reported death toll of six seafarers has not been officially confirmed by the Bulgarian Prosecutor’s Office, which stated that DNA examinations are underway to establish the victims’ identities. The Prosecutor’s Office did not specify the number of victims in its announcement. An investigation is underway under its supervision,...
Adani battles rivals for $1.25bn Indian port expansion...
posted on: Nov 12, 2026
Adani Ports is facing competition from two domestic engineering groups for a $1.25bn contract to develop the outer harbour at V.O. Chidambaranar Port in southern India, part of a wider $1.83bn expansion designed to accommodate the world’s largest containerships. Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), Megha Engineering and Infrastructures and Vishwa Samudra Engineering have submitted bids for the marine infrastructure package at the port, also known as Tuticorin. Technical bids were opened on November 7, with no contractor selected yet. The contract covers breakwaters, capital dredging, land reclamation, wharf construction and associated infrastructure. The project has been structured under a hybrid annuity model after two previous attempts to attract private investment failed. Under the revised arrangements, the port authority will contribute towards construction costs, with the successful bidder financing the balance and receiving payments over the subsequent maintenance period. The wider development includes two container terminals with a...
