Monsoon Weather Abates, but the Caroline Bezengi is Still Leaking Crude...
posted on: Sep 17, 2026
Weather conditions in the sea area around the beached Aframax tanker Caroline Bezengi have eased in recent days. The vessel has been aground on the rocks off Jazirat Al Qibliyyah – one of the Hallaniyat Islands off southwest Oman – since June. Seasonal rough conditions, with wave heights up to 13 feet and southwesterly wind speeds of nearly 50 knots, have abated in recent days. But the improvement looks to be only temporary, with the weather forecast to revert to the stormy seasonal norms by the end of the week. Khareef conditions normally last until the end of September. The Caroline Bezengi had taken on an oil cargo at Novorossiysk, Russia and was destined for Gujarat. The tanker had been sanctioned by the EU, UK and US (OFAC), and has a past association with Russian state shipowner Sovcomflot. From imagery available on September 11, the tanker is still leaking oil at what appeared to be...
Yang Ming digitalises seafarer health, tying 45.3 per cent hypertension rate to real-time monitoring at sea...
posted on: Sep 17, 2026
Yang Ming Marine Transport has partnered with Taipei Medical University and National Taiwan Ocean University to launch a Smart Maritime International Healthcare System, combining wearable monitoring, AI health alerts and satellite telemedicine for crew at sea. The scheme comes as the operator points to figures showing hypertension prevalence among seafarers reaching 45.3 per cent, a statistic it says reflects the toll of shift work and prolonged isolation on ships. The system feeds blood pressure, heart rate, ECG and sleep data from wearable devices into an integrated care portal, allowing shore-based clinicians to flag risks before they become emergencies. An AI chatbot app lets crew log symptoms and receive guidance in real time, while a telemedicine centre at Taipei Medical University connects doctors with vessels regardless of location. An emotional-support robot has also been introduced to offer psychological support during long voyages, addressing a side of seafarer welfare that shipowners...
Key Saudi Pipeline Could Be Slowed for Weeks, Affecting Global Oil Trade...
posted on: Sep 16, 2026
Recent attacks on Saudi Aramco’s East-West Pipeline have raised concerns in the oil market about the continued availability of cargoes. The concern appears to be justified: officials familiar with the damage assessment believe that it will take 3-5 weeks for pipeline flow to be fully restored, according to the AP. Given the size of the oil supply in storage sites to seaward of the pipeline damage, Aramco’s Red Sea stockpiles could run low and its export loadings could begin to slow by the end of the week. The most significant impact of the pipeline attack was the destruction of a large pumping station, which is needed to maintain pressures and flow rates over the 750-mile length of the line. The station was thoroughly destroyed in the attack, officials say. Satellite imaging shows construction under way on a bypass line around the pumping station, which may allow operations to resume...
Analysis: The rules of global shipping are starting to fragment...
posted on: Sep 16, 2026
On 8 September 2026, the Consultative Shipping Group (CSG) issued a public statement under the title “In defence of free shipping”, calling on maritime nations to uphold freedom of navigation, internationally agreed rules and a level playing field for global shipping. For more than six decades, the Consultative Shipping Group has largely operated away from public attention, coordinating the maritime policies of 18 major shipping nations around open markets, fair competition and unrestricted access to international shipping. Its decision to issue a rare public statement defending free shipping therefore deserves attention beyond the words of the statement itself. It is a signal that some of the world’s most important maritime nations increasingly see geopolitical fragmentation, unilateral measures and inconsistent enforcement as structural challenges to the global shipping system. At first sight, many of its principles will appear familiar to the maritime industry. Freedom of navigation, the central role of the...
Tanker boom breaks every historical benchmark
posted on: Sep 16, 2026
A benchmark tanker rate has entered seven figures for the first time, marking an extraordinary moment in shipping history as war risk sends earnings across virtually every tanker class to record or near-record levels. Also for the first time on record, 10-year-old VLCCs are commanding greater prices than newbuilds. The Baltic Exchange’s TD3C benchmark for a VLCC carrying 270,000 tonnes of crude from the Middle East Gulf to China has pushed through the equivalent of $1m a day. However, the number needs treating with caution. As Splash has reported throughout the conflict, TD3C has become increasingly theoretical as the number of owners prepared to transit the Strait of Hormuz has dwindled and normal Gulf fixing patterns have broken down. Nevertheless, the seven-figure print is a remarkable marker for a sector where $200,000 a day was once regarded as an exceptional, once in a lifetime market. BRS described earnings as...
World’s Largest Electric Vessel is Set to Begin Service on Rio de la Plata...
posted on: Sep 16, 2026
The heavy-lift ship Black Marlin has successfully delivered the world’s largest electric ferry, the China Zorrilla. The Australian-made vessel is the world’s largest electric vehicle of any kind, and it will operate on a 30-nautical-mile run across the Rio de la Plata between Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay and Buenos Aires, Argentina. China Zorrilla is an aluminum fast-ferry design constructed at the Incat yard in Tasmania. Capable of carrying up to 225 vehicles and 2,100 passengers, it is physically larger and has a larger battery bank than any other battery-electric vessel. It was loaded out on Boskalis’ Black Marlin in July for the 40-day eastbound journey to the Rio de la Plata. The ship and its ship-cargo then transited the Pacific and the Strait of Magellan to reach the Atlantic. On arrival at Nueva Palmira, Uruguay, Black Marlin waited for favorable weather, then ballasted down far enough to float the ferry off...
Malta strengthens Flag State inspections for higher-risk ships and companies...
posted on: Sep 16, 2026
Transport Malta has revised its Flag State Inspection (FSI) Programme, setting out a risk-based approach that may result in increased scrutiny of older vessels, ships detained by Port State Control and companies with repeated safety deficiencies. Under Merchant Shipping Notice 2 Rev.1, the Merchant Shipping Directorate said the programme is intended to ensure the effective implementation of Malta’s obligations as a Flag State and compliance by Maltese-registered ships with applicable international requirements. The programme covers areas including maritime safety, pollution prevention, maritime security, and the competency, certification, welfare and working conditions of seafarers. Flag State Inspections provide an independent verification of compliance and are separate from statutory surveys and certification carried out on behalf of the Administration. Ships will primarily be selected for inspection based on procedures established by the Administration in line with the IMO Instruments Implementation Code (III Code), taking into account both vessel- and company-related risk...
Two bulkers collide off Gujarat, Coast Guard mobilises emergency response...
posted on: Sep 15, 2026
The Indian Coast Guard has launched a major rescue and pollution-response operation following a collision between two bulk carriers at an anchorage in the Gulf of Kutch, off Gujarat. The incident occurred on September 11 when the KMax Emperor and True Mariner collided at the outer anchorage off Mundra Port. As reported the two vessels had allegedly been anchored alongside one another for several days before the casualty. Following the collision, the Indian Coast Guard launched a rapid rescue operation, successfully evacuating 21 of the 24 crew members aboard KMax Emperor. Three crew members remained on board to support the vessel’s operations. Alongside the rescue effort, the Coast Guard activated its pollution-response measures to assess and contain any potential environmental impact from the collision. Response teams are monitoring the situation and remain prepared to intervene should pollution be detected or the risk of a spill increase. The Coast Guard...
Philippines reviews seafarer deployments as risks mount in Hormuz and Black Sea...
posted on: Sep 15, 2026
The Philippines is preparing to restrict the deployment of Filipino seafarers to designated high-risk areas in the Middle East following a series of attacks and casualties involving Filipino crew in the Strait of Hormuz. The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) is investigating shipowners and Philippine manning agencies linked to five vessels carrying Filipino seafarers that were attacked or exposed to heightened security risks in the Strait of Hormuz and the Black Sea. Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac said the investigation will determine whether the companies involved complied with DMW regulations governing the deployment of Filipino seafarers to high-risk and war-like areas. “We are investigating all five situations and their respective manning agencies and ship owners,” Cacdac said during a press briefing. Fatal Strait of Hormuz attack The investigation follows the 31 August attack on the Saudi-flagged crude oil tanker MT Sidr in the Strait of Hormuz. The vessel was carrying 16 Filipino seafarers,...
GTT Marine sees integrated platforms reshaping maritime technology...
posted on: Sep 15, 2026
As shipowners continue to invest in digital technologies, attention is turning to how those systems work together rather than what they can do individually. For Casper Jensen, CEO at GTT Marine, the real challenge facing the industry is how effectively the data or tools are connected to support better decision-making. That thinking also sits behind Danelec’s integration into the GTT Group, which brings together onboard data infrastructure, voyage intelligence and vessel performance expertise under a single organisation. Jensen believes this changes what shipowners now expect from technology suppliers and raises the bar across the industry. Integrated ecosystems raise the bar Shipowners selected individual products that solved specific operational problems. According to Jensen, that buying strategy is giving way to something broader. “Ship owner preference has shifted: from ‘best of breed’ to ‘integrated systems’. Point solution vendors are losing ground.” He believes owners now expect technology providers to connect operational...
India launches seafarer tracking system for high-risk global hotspots...
posted on: Sep 15, 2026
India has launched a new Seafarer Tracking Module to monitor Indian seafarers working aboard merchant vessels operating in some of the world’s most high-risk maritime regions, as geopolitical tensions and security threats continue to escalate. The Directorate General of Shipping (DGMA) has launched the Seafarer Tracking Module on the e-NAVIK platform aimed at strengthening the authorities’ ability to provide timely information, coordinate assistance and mount a rapid response in the event of an incident involving Indian seafarers. The move comes as merchant shipping faces heightened security risks across several strategic waterways, including the Strait of Hormuz, Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Bab el-Mandeb, Black Sea and waters off Somalia. Thousands of Indian seafarers serve aboard both Indian- and foreign-flagged vessels operating in or transiting these areas, exposing crews to risks ranging from attacks and armed conflict to vessel detentions and other security incidents. Centralised monitoring of Indian seafarers...
Indonesian Ferry Capsizes South of Borneo, Leaving Up to 140 Missing...
posted on: Sep 15, 2026
Authorities in Indonesia are searching for an estimated 130 people after a ferry capsized in the Java Sea. At about 0200 on Sunday morning, the ferry Virgo Transport8 was under way from Surabaya to Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, and was about 80 nautical miles south of its destination. Passengers described rough surface conditions during the transit. At about 0400 hours, Indonesian SAR agencies received a distress alert about the vessel’s situation. First responders on scene found that it had capsized. The majority of the 108 survivors were rescued by a Good Samaritan merchant vessel, the MV Haida. The ship arrived in Banjarmasin on Sunday evening to disembark 69 rescuees for medical evaluation. The tanker Mauhau IX and fishing vessel Cahaya Bahari also contributed. The head of Indonesian coast guard agency Basarnas, Rear Marshal Mohammad Syafii, told media on Sunday that it is believed (from the master’s account) that the vessel was hit by a large wave on...
