Lessons learned: Don’t rush, even during urgent tasks...
posted on: Sep 2, 2026
IMCA draws lessons learned from an incident where a crew member sustained an injury to their shoulder as they were descending a flight of stairs into an ROV hangar. What happened? Whilst stepping over the coaming of the weather tight door, they lost their footing on the top step at which point they reached out grabbing the door mechanism to try and stabilize themselves. As their hand remained fixed to the mechanism, both legs and lower body slipped off the top step. This resulted in their entire body weight pulling abruptly against their stationary left arm. The sudden drop created stress and a severe “wrenching” force on the shoulder joint, resulting in the injury. Credit: IMCA Why did it happen? Task Demands – Perceived time pressure (in a hurry) – A request was made for the individual to investigate a burst freshwater line. The crew member was rushing – even with good...
Hormuz compliance clash traps owners between Tehran and Washington...
posted on: Sep 1, 2026
Shipowners trading through the Strait of Hormuz have been placed in a fresh compliance bind after Iran blacklisted 45 ships and threatened fines, detention and cargo confiscation, while Washington warned that complying with Tehran’s transit regime could trigger US sanctions. Iran’s newly established Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) published the “non-compliant vessels” list over the weekend, accusing the ships of breaching its arrangements for passing through the strategic waterway. The authority also warned that vessels carrying out ship-to-ship transfers, transhipment or other operations with listed ships would be added to the blacklist. Owners seeking removal must apply to Iran’s maritime authorities and provide an explanation. The list covers VLCCs, product tankers, LNG and LPG carriers, containerships and bulkers linked to some of the industry’s best-known names, including ADNOC Logistics & Services and its Navig8 subsidiary, Bahri, Sinokor, Stolt-Nielsen, Klaveness Combination Carriers, Shipping Corporation of India, Dynacom and GasLog.

Canada doubles down on shipbuilding with $8.2bn Quebec icebreaker order...
posted on: Sep 1, 2026
Canada has unveiled its biggest shipbuilding contract in Quebec’s history, committing C$11.3bn ($8.2bn) to six new Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers at Chantier Davie in Lévis. Prime minister Mark Carney said the programme would be carried out “on a scale that has not been seen in generations”, creating close to 5,000 jobs during construction and contributing around C$650m a year to Canadian GDP. The six Polar Class 3 ships will replace ageing heavy and medium icebreakers deployed in Atlantic Canada, the St Lawrence, the Great Lakes and the Arctic. Construction is scheduled to start in 2027, with the first vessel due five years later and the full series in service by 2038. Under Ottawa’s Buy Canadian policy, the vessels will use Canadian steel and other domestic materials, with the government framing the order as much around industrial policy and Arctic sovereignty as fleet renewal. The contract is the latest sign...
OCIMF: Sharing good-quality data can produce valuable insights to improve safety...
posted on: Sep 1, 2026
In an exclusive interview with the newly appointed Managing Director of OCIMF, Don Davis shared his priorities and broader vision for the inspection system. Following the implementation of SIRE 2.0, which supports a move away from viewing inspections as simple checklist exercises, OCIMF is now assessing inspection data to identify areas for further improvement. At the same time, vessel operators and crews need to understand the purpose behind inspections rather than preparing simply to meet individual requirements. More broadly, the industry needs to stop treating human factors as separate from technical or operational safety. SAFETY4SEA: You have taken the helm of OCIMF at a significant point in its evolution. What are your immediate priorities as Managing Director? Don Davis: I’m very excited to be assuming the OCIMF MD role, since maritime safety is so personally important to me. I’m fortunate to be joining OCIMF at a time of strength for the organisation, having implemented and...
ClassNK puts source-backed AI into survey work for shipowners and ship managers...
posted on: Sep 1, 2026
ClassNK has launched Survey Compass, an AI assistant designed to help shipowners and ship management companies find and assess classification survey requirements. The service combines natural-language search with direct links to source documents, giving users a faster way to prepare for surveys while keeping professional judgement with the people handling the work. ClassNK has launched an AI assistant designed to help shipowners and ship management companies deal with classification survey requirements, giving users a direct way to search relevant documents and retrieve supporting information. Survey Compass is available through the ClassNK Customer Hub for Ship in Service. Users can ask questions in natural language, after which the system searches classification survey documents and provides a concise answer with links to the source material. The approach is notable because survey work leaves little room for an answer that cannot be checked. ClassNK says Survey Compass uses a retrieval-based method, drawing...
Bulker Demonstrates Wind Propulsion Integrated with Solar Power...
posted on: Sep 1, 2026
Demonstrations are underway on an innovative power solution retrofitted to an ultramax bulker as part of a four-year research project to advance modular retrofit solutions to reduce GHG emissions from the long-distance maritime industry. The project, named WHISPER, recently completed the installation of a rigid wingsail and solar panels on the dry bulk carrier Maria Tipoc as the first of two demonstrations, which will also involve a containership. The 60,155-dwt bulker was recently retrofitted by Tsuneiship Shipbuilding and is currently sailing trans-Pacific to Vancouver, testing the systems. It included the first installation of the French company OceanWings’ tiltable rigid wingsail on a bulker. It is also the final installation of Solibian’s solar panels, after a previous prototype test aboard the sistership Paolo Topic in March 2024. Building on that experience, it later installed additional panels as part of the WHISPER project in 2025. The rigid, tiltable OceanWings system is intended to reduce the power...
The unspoken cost of sexual misconduct at sea
posted on: Sep 1, 2026
Sun light rays under water. 3D rendered illustration. In many ways, the shipping industry is truly remarkable. At any given moment, there are thousands of ships on the ocean, each sailing thousands of miles to deliver cargo from one side of the world to the other. Without these vessels, and the two and a half million seafarers who operate them, global trade wouldn’t be possible. However, there is also a darker side to the industry. While living and working standards on land have improved over time, conditions at sea have not followed suit. Accountability for working conditions and overall welfare has become blurred, and there is no shared industry framework to address these challenges. As a result, seafarers have paid the price. The All Aboard Alliance, a group of 30+ leading companies that aim to improve life at sea, is working to develop a set of 10 global standards...
Flood Wipes Away Chinese “Belt and Road” Border Port in Nepal...
posted on: Aug 29, 2026
A flash flood initiated by a glacial collapse swept through mountain valleys on the Chinese-Nepalese border on Wednesday, erasing villages and leaving 1,400 people missing. Among the casualties was a key Chinese “Belt and Road” development project: a well-developed border crossing called Gyirong Port, which handled about $600 million in annual trade between Nepal and China. d Videos from Gyirong show the force and inevitability of the powerful flash flood. Video taken from the Chinese side of the port shows locals running to escape about 30 seconds before a geyser of rock and mud envelops the border crossing, sweeping away buildings. Post-casualty satellite footage provided by Vantor shows an undeveloped landscape virtually free of roads, buildings or other signs of human habitation. Gyirong Port was known to be vulnerable to flooding: it was closed for the second half of 2025 because of damage from last year’s flooding on the...
MacGregor’s 79% proven LCO₂ transfer system targets direct offshore carbon injection...
posted on: Aug 29, 2026
MacGregor has developed an LCO₂ Bow Transfer System designed to connect carriers directly with offshore injection sites, using 79% field-proven technology from its bow-loading systems. The approach could give shipowners and CCS operators a way to handle captured carbon offshore without relying on intermediate onshore storage and conditioning facilities. MacGregor’s new Liquid Carbon Dioxide Bow Transfer System is designed for ship-to-well and ship-to-rig transfer across a range of operating conditions. The system is based on the company’s Bow Loading System, which has been used in the oil and gas sector since the 1970s. The company says around 79% of the new system draws on existing technology, while the remaining components have been modified or newly engineered to handle LCO₂. That distinction matters for operators looking at the cost and technical risk of marine carbon transport. Rather than designing an entirely new transfer arrangement, MacGregor is applying an established offshore...
Complying with CIC 2026 on Cargo Securing: A best practice guide...
posted on: Aug 29, 2026
Ahead of the 2026 Cargo Securing Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC), SQE MARINE provides practical guidance to help shipowners, operators and crews prepare for inspections and demonstrate compliance. The campaign will run from 1 September to 30 November 2026 under the Paris and Tokyo MoUs, with participating vessels assessed through an additional questionnaire during routine Port State Control inspections. The Indian Ocean, Mediterranean and Black Sea MoUs have also confirmed their participation, while further MoUs may join before the campaign begins. The official SOLAS documentation, including Chapters VI (‘Carriage of Cargoes’) and VII (‘Carriage of Dangerous Goods’), as well as the ‘Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing’ (CSS), sets out the fundamental principles for the safe carriage of solid bulk cargoes, fuel oils, and grain. Furthermore, the approved ‘Cargo Securing Manual’ (CSM) contains ship-specific details for securing the cargo. Aim of CIC The purpose of this inspection campaign is...
Bahri VLCC Struck as Houthis Continue Attacks Against Saudi Interests...
posted on: Aug 29, 2026
A Saudi Arabia-flagged very large crude carrier (VLCC) was struck by what the Houthis are reporting was a ballistic missile while the vessel was off the oil terminal at Yanbu in the northern Red Sea. There are no reports of injuries among the crew, but it continues to pressure Saudi Arabia, which has been using Yanbu to supplement export capacity due to the disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. The crude oil tanker Amzan (320,926 dwt) reported the strike on August 24. Built in 2014, the reports indicate the ship was 63 nautical miles west of Yanbu. The tanker said that there was a fire on the main deck after the strike. Security firm Ambrey said the Egyptian Navy had responded to the vessel’s calls. The Houthi spokesperson took credit for the attack, saying it was part of the ongoing naval blockade it was imposing. The Houthis asserted it...
TSIB Singapore: Second Engineer falls overboard while carrying out maintenance work...
posted on: Aug 29, 2026
The Transport Safety Investigation Bureau of Singapore (TSIB) has published its investigation report into an incident where a second Engineer fell overboard while carrying out maintenance work near the vessel’s side, but could not be recovered. On 26 December 2025, a Second Engineer (2E) on board a Singapore-registered bulk carrier fell overboard while carrying out maintenance work near the ship’s side as the vessel was underway at sea. Following the occurrence, the bridge team initiated man-overboard (MOB) response procedures. At the time, winds were at Beaufort force 5, with sea and swell conditions of approximately 2 metres, creating challenging conditions for recovery operations and affecting the manoeuvrability of the rescue craft. Despite repeated recovery attempts, the 2E could not be recovered from the water. The Transport Safety Investigation Bureau of Singapore classified the occurrence as a very serious marine casualty. The investigation identified the following: The work location, near...
