posted on: Oct 9, 2026
Labour organisations at Chittagong Port on Thursday announced a daylong mass hunger strike for October 12, demanding cancellation of the agreement signed with Dubai-based DP World to operate the port’s New Mooring Container Terminal (NCT) for 15 years. The announcement came at a rally in the port area in the afternoon, shortly after the agreement was signed in Dhaka under a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement, reports UNB. The agreement was signed at 3pm at the Invest Bangladesh Authority auditorium in Dhaka. Under the deal, DP World will operate the NCT, the largest container terminal at Chattogram Port, for 15 years. Several left-leaning political parties and organisations staged a sit-in outside the auditorium, protesting the agreement. In Chattogram, various labour organisations brought out a procession and held a rally in the port area in protest against the deal. At the rally, labour leaders demanded immediate cancellation of the agreement, describing...

posted on: Oct 9, 2026
A tanker and two cargo ships collided off the Norwegian coast on Sunday. One of the ships is Dutch. The other two are a Norwegian and a Faroese. According to Norwegian media, the vessels amount to a gross tonnage of 2,000 to 2,5000 tons. The nighttime collision took place near Ålesund, which is 365 kilometers northwest of Oslo.

There were also no injuries reported. All three ships are damaged, and one took in water, police said. One of the vessels is also at anchor, while two are docked in a harbor. source :...
GAO: Modernizing US Navy Shipyards Will Cost $200B with 2080 Completion...
posted on: Oct 9, 2026
The U.S. Navy is facing a formidable task to rebuild its aging and overstretched shipyards, a mission that could cost a staggering $200 billion and take five decades to complete, according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO). In a report assessing the Navy’s plans to undertake its largest-ever construction and restoration effort to improve poor conditions and outdated infrastructure at its four shipyards, GAO is highlighting that the Navy could have greatly underestimated the task ahead. In its Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program (SIOP), unveiled in 2018 and whose core objective was to address infrastructure deficiencies and modernize shipyards to meet the needs of a 21st-century Navy, the U.S. put the cost of the task at $21 billion and the period required at 20 years. SIOP was established with the aim of rebuilding the four naval shipyards, namely Norfolk, Pearl Harbor, Portsmouth, and Puget Sound. The yards provide essential maintenance...
China Arctic service container ship returns to Asia via Suez...
posted on: Oct 9, 2026
The Dubai Tower the first container ship on Sea Legend’s weekly Arctic service between China and Europe is returning to Asia via the Suez Canal rather than the Northern Sea Route (NSR). The first of eight weekly voyages between China and Europe scheduled by Chinese carrier Sea Legend the transits between Ningbo – Zhoushan and the UK created considerable media and market interest. The ability to utilise the NSR via the Russian Arctic during the summer ice season offers considerable potential savings in terms of transit times, in particular over a Cape of Good Hope routing which has been the norm over much of the last three years. It also offered an alternative to security concerns in the Red Sea due to conflict in the region, however, this is exactly the route that the Dubai Tower now appears to be taking on its return leg. Rather than returning from...
HD Hyundai Delivers World’s First “Lashing-Free” Containership to CMA CGM...
posted on: Oct 9, 2026
South Korean shipbuilding group HD Hyundai is reporting the delivery of its first container vessel using the company’s newly developed “Lashing-Free” system that eliminates the need for workers to manually secure containers on board. It highlights benefits of increased capacity and ease of handling while also reporting that the system will be able to handle heavy weather and provide other benefits to the ships. The system was installed on a new containership built for CMA CGM, which underwent sea trials in September. The ship has a capacity of 13,000 TEU while using HD Hyundai’s hybrid-type Lashing-Free Technology. The ship is methanol-fueled and otherwise appears to use a conventional layout for the placement of containers above deck. HD Hyundai Heavy Industries reports it independently developed and validated all key components of the Lashing-Free technology. HD Hyundai Samho was responsible for the detailed design and construction of the vessel incorporating the...
Pirates return to East African waters as six ships hijacked since April...
posted on: Oct 9, 2026
For more than a decade, the shipping industry categorised the waters off East Africa as high risk for piracy. In January 2023, it lifted that label. Now, six ships have been hijacked since April, and the question is whether the label will return. If it does, the extra cost lands on the people who buy what comes through the ports of Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, Mogadishu and Victoria in Seychelles. source :...

Morning News Brief — October 8, 2026 1. World developments Yemen is becoming a major new front in the wider Middle Eastern conflict. Saudi-backed forces initially advanced along Yemen’s Red Sea coast, but the Houthis have encircled government units near Taiz. Divisions among anti-Houthi factions and reported Iranian assistance suggest a prolonged campaign rather than a quick Saudi-backed victory. reuters.comWhy it matters: Extended fighting threatens Saudi infrastructure, commercial aviation and maritime traffic through Bab el-Mandeb. The IMF warns that expensive energy, record public debt and the AI investment boom are creating competing global shocks. Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said the Middle Eastern supply shock is depressing growth while AI-related investment is adding demand and inflation in selected economies. Updated IMF forecasts are due next week.

Drone strike sinks Turkish cargo ship in Black Sea...
posted on: Oct 8, 2026
Oct. 5 (UPI) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Monday that Russia is responsible for a drone strike that sank a Turkish-owned cargo ship carrying grain from Ukraine in the Black Sea. Two people, including the ship’s captain, were killed in the strike, Romanian authorities said. The strike took place earlier Monday off Romania’s coast, near the Pescăruș offshore platform. Romanian ships and helicopters rescued 11 sailors, some of them injured, and one sailor was missing, authorities said. Euronews Romania identified the ship as the Royad Mammadov, owned by a Turkish company and flying a St. Kitts and Nevis flag. Zelensky said in a social media post that two Russian drones hit the ship in a “horrific strike” and that Azerbaijani and Indian citizens were on board. “Ukraine has repeatedly proposed concrete steps to de-escalate the situation and ensure security in the Black Sea,” Zelensky wrote. “There have also...
UK MCA urges ships to prepare for navigation without GNSS...
posted on: Oct 8, 2026
The UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) is urging shipowners, operators, ports and maritime service providers to strengthen their preparedness for GNSS disruption, warning that jamming, spoofing or signal loss could affect navigation, communications, vessel tracking and other critical systems. With maritime operations increasingly dependent on GPS and other satellite-based positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services, the MCA says operators should not assume GNSS will always be available. Instead, vessels should be able to maintain safe operations using alternative navigation methods when satellite-derived information becomes unreliable or unavailable. Understand where GNSS is being used The first step is to identify how heavily a vessel or operation depends on GNSS. GNSS inputs can feed a wide range of bridge systems, including ECDIS, AIS, radar, integrated bridge systems, autopilots, track-control systems, dynamic positioning and GMDSS equipment. The impact can also extend beyond the bridge to communications, timing systems, vessel tracking, port...
IMO Chief Decries Rising Toll on Seafarers Caught in Conflict...
posted on: Oct 8, 2026
Five seafarers were killed during the rescue of a hijacked ship off Somalia last week, prompting International Maritime Organization Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez to issue yet another statement mourning merchant mariners killed amid piracy, conflict and attacks on commercial shipping. “It is troubling to have to make these statements so often, and even more difficult to convey in words how distressing it is continuously hear that seafarers are losing their lives simply for doing their jobs,” Dominguez said. The five crew members were reportedly killed September 29 during the rescue of the HONOUR 25 in Somali waters. Several others were seriously injured, according to the IMO. The statement was only the latest in a series from Dominguez this year as seafarers have been killed, injured, stranded or taken captive across the Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea, Black Sea and waters off Somalia. His message has been consistent: seafarers are civilians, they are...
Why shipping’s niche players are set to resurge...
posted on: Oct 8, 2026
Mark O’Neill discusses the likely shipping impact as the world shifts from globalisation to regionalisation. For decades, global shipping has been built around a simple premise: the more integrated the world economy became – governed and regulated by a sophisticated and universally respected international rules-based order – the more efficient, standardised and global maritime transport would become. Massive fleets, standardised vessels, containerisation, global networks and economies of scale transformed shipping into the indispensable infrastructure and catalyst of globalisation. The big shipping players became bigger and metamorphosed into complex, integrated, global logistics operations, and the small players slowly became more and more uncompetitive and irrelevant. Global geopolitical turmoil has put an end to this inevitable development. The geopolitical environment has become significantly more complex and multi-layered, while the international maritime framework that underpinned the predictability of global trade is showing increasing signs of strain. Trade tensions, sanctions, regional conflicts, strategic competition between...
Amidst Conflict in the Gulf, Oman’s Duqm Drydock Sees Business Boom...
posted on: Oct 8, 2026
The Asyad Group’s Drydock subsidiary, which operates a substantial facility within the inner harbor at Duqm in Oman, has seen a massive expansion of its workload during the first eight months of 2026. The increase is likely attributable to the inability of regional clients to access ship repair within the Gulf, given the closure of the Strait of Hormuz – but also to the increasing range of services that the Asyad Drydock is now able to offer. The drydocks attracted 56 new international clients, adding to a client base of 900 existing customers, and had completed 119 ship repair and maintenance projects over the eight-month period. By comparison, 230 projects were completed over the 24 months of 2024 and 2025, thus reflecting a 55% increase in workload so far this year. The yard has also expanded into shipbuilding and has two projects underway for undisclosed customers. Stay on Top...
