Fire-damaged car carrier heads for Panama as salvage operation begins...
posted on: Sep 14, 2026
The fire-damaged car carrier Min Jiang Kou has been authorised to enter Panamanian waters for a specialised salvage operation after a blaze broke out aboard the vessel on 7 August. The Marshall Islands-flagged Ro-Ro vessel remains unmanned and without electrical power, with salvage crews carrying out hull-cooling and stabilisation operations as preparations begin for its eventual tow to a shipyard in Asia. Three tugboats are currently involved in the operation, assisting with manoeuvres to stabilise the vessel and prepare it for the next stage of its voyage. To remind, the incident began on the night of 7 September, when a rise in temperature was detected in several areas of the Min Jiang Kou’s decks. The temperature increase was followed by a fire while the vessel was sailing hundreds of miles offshore. Following the incident, the specialist salvage contractor requested permission to bring the vessel into Panamanian waters, where crews could...

How sanctioned ships are heading to Alang for recycling The Hindu September 12, 2026 5:16 pm Gas cutting workers busy in dismantling ships at Shri Ram Group plot at the Alang Ship Breaking Yard.| Photo Credit: The Hindu During its blockade of Venezuela in December of last year, the U.S. government sought to seize several tankers that were calling on Venezuela. Among them was Marinera, which the U.S. pursued for nearly a month and seized off Iceland, and Lileo. In August, the U.S. government sold the two vessels to GMS, a leading buyer of vessels going for demolition, which has brought them to Alang in Gujarat for recycling. Marinera and Lileo are among the more than thousand vessels sanctioned by the U.S. While these two were directly sold by the U.S. government, many sanctioned ships owned by sanctioned entities have been coming to Alang for recycling in recent months....
Application submission deadline for enlistment as spot LNG supplier extended...
posted on: Sep 13, 2026
The government has extended the application submission deadline for interested liquefied natural gas (LNG) suppliers from the spot market by one week, until September 22. State-run Petrobangla floated the invitation for enlistment notice on August 29 with initial bid submission deadline on September 15. “We have extended the deadline after having requests from some potential global LNG suppliers,” a senior Petrobangla official told The Financial Express on Saturday. Petrobangla has decided to expand its pool of approved international LNG suppliers as the country is increasingly relying on the volatile spot market to overcome a worsening gas crisis and disruptions caused to contractual supplies. The initiative is aimed at attracting more bidders and lowering procurement costs, as only a handful of the 32 currently listed suppliers regularly participate in spot LNG tenders. Bid participation could increase and the cost of purchasing LNG from the spot market could decline if Bangladesh...
RSGT Bangladesh records 58 moves per hour at Patenga terminal...
posted on: Sep 13, 2026
default RSGT Bangladesh has recorded up to 58 container moves and 82 TEUs per hour while handling a CMA CGM vessel at Patenga Container Terminal, setting what the company described as a new productivity benchmark for Bangladesh’s port sector. The productivity was achieved while handling MV WANEN on Thursday (10 September) during the terminal’s first gearless vessel operation using newly commissioned Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes, according to RSGT Bangladesh. The company said the figure is nearly double the historical productivity level at Chattogram Port, where container vessels have traditionally averaged around 30 moves or 48 TEUs per hour. The milestone comes as the operator seeks to improve the efficiency of Patenga Container Terminal through modern equipment and international terminal operating practices. RSGT Bangladesh said higher productivity could reduce vessel turnaround time, improve berth utilisation and lower vessel-related costs, while improving efficiency across the country’s maritime supply chain. “Reaching 58 moves...
US maritime nuclear push gathers pace
posted on: Sep 13, 2026
US maritime nuclear startup Bluecore Energy has raised $50m to accelerate development of floating nuclear power systems as Washington’s push to bring atomic energy into commercial shipping gathers momentum. The Silverton Partners-led seed round follows $10m raised when Long Beach-based Bluecore emerged from stealth in July. Bluecore is developing compact water-cooled reactors mounted on floating platforms, with its first system designed to produce around 10 MW of continuous electricity for ports and other coastal infrastructure. The company has secured its first barge and is working with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and US Coast Guard on the regulatory pathway towards commercial deployment. Bluecore founder Kofi Asante said the company now has “the capital, the team, the hardware” to move towards deployment. The fundraising comes amid a burst of American activity around maritime nuclear power. In May, the Trump administration launched a formal initiative directing the Maritime Administration to investigate how...
WSC calls on governments to close battery cargo safety gap...
posted on: Sep 13, 2026
The World Shipping Council (WSC) has called on governments to address a gap in international dangerous goods regulations that allows containers carrying thousands of lithium batteries to be transported without carriers being informed of the associated fire hazard. The WSC issued the call on September 10, 2026, as the use and transport of batteries continues to expand while cargo fires remain a persistent safety risk for container shipping. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global lithium-ion battery deployment in 2025 was six times higher than in 2020, while battery demand is expected to double by 2030. Meanwhile, Allianz statistics indicate that a container ship fire occurs approximately every 17 days. Lithium-ion batteries can undergo thermal runaway, a rapid self-heating reaction that can cause intense fires, explosions and the release of hazardous gases. Such fires can be difficult to extinguish and may reignite hours or even days later, while...
Five fuel certification systems offer lessons for shipowners on cleaner fuel supply chains...
posted on: Sep 13, 2026
A study by Pacific Environment and NTU Singapore calls for stronger certification, digital traceability and physical fuel testing as shipping adopts more sustainable fuels. The recommendations give shipowners and managers a clearer framework for assessing whether alternative fuels can deliver the emissions benefits claimed across complex supply chains. Shipowners face a growing need to establish that the fuels they procure deliver genuine emissions reductions, rather than relying solely on documentation supplied along the fuel chain. A new study commissioned by Pacific Environment and conducted by the Maritime Energy & Sustainable Development Centre of Excellence (MESD) at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), examines how existing fuel certification schemes could inform standards being developed by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). The study reviews five established frameworks, including International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC), the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB), Brazil’s RenovaBio, California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard and the US Renewable...
Growing arsenal of threats puts Red Sea shipping on high alert...
posted on: Sep 12, 2026
The threat to commercial shipping in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea is intensifying, with shipowners, operators and masters facing a growing arsenal of potential attacks, from armed skiffs and drones to anti-ship missiles. Anew marine security advisory from the Liberia Maritime Authority warns that multiple vessels making innocent passage through the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden have come under threat or attack in recent months. In several incidents, vessels have been targeted by missiles launched from drones, while others have been ordered to alter course and head towards Yemen. The range of threats is widening. Anti-ship and ballistic missiles, water-borne improvised explosive devices and drones are among the weapons identified in the advisory. Mines have also been deployed off Yemen’s coast, with some reportedly breaking free from their moorings and drifting into established shipping lanes. There have also been reports of unmanned underwater vehicles operating in the region, although no vessel has so far been attacked by such devices. Yemen coastline remains high-risk area...
Viasat Commercial: How the digitally mature ship of 2030 will operate...
posted on: Sep 12, 2026
The next phase of digitalisation, according to Ben Palmer, president of Viasat Commercial, will be defined by measurable returns and technology that solves problems rather than creating new ones. Ben Palmer is unusually candid about what Inmarsat got wrong as maritime digitalisation accelerated over the past five years. The mistake, says the president of Viasat Commercial, was underestimating just how quickly shipowners’ expectations would move beyond discussions about satellite coverage, bandwidth and individual networks. “I think we, along with much of the industry, underestimated the speed at which expectations would change,” Palmer tells Maritime CEO. Inmarsat spent years talking about coverage, capacity and satellite technologies. All remain important, he stresses, but increasingly they are not conversations customers particularly want to have. “They want their vessels connected. They want applications to work. They want their crews to have a good experience. And they want somebody to take responsibility when things...
Suez Canal Revival Gathers Pace as Hormuz Crisis Reroutes Ships...
posted on: Sep 12, 2026
By Mirette Magdy (Bloomberg) — Suez Canal revenue rose 42% in July from the year earlier, as the Iran war’s effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Houthi threats in the southern Red Sea led more ships to use the Egyptian waterway. A total of 1,340 vessels transited the canal that month, according to data from state statistics agency CAPMAS. That’s 27% more than in July 2025 and compares with 1,208 ships this June, extending a partial recovery that began earlier in the year. Oil tankers accounted for 526 of July’s vessels, versus 485 the month before. The increase likely at least partly reflects the rerouting of Saudi Arabian oil exports via the Red Sea due to the shuttering of Hormuz. A subsequent threat from Yemen’s Houthi rebels has spurred many ships to exit north rather than cross the Bab El-Mandeb, another chokepoint. Canal income rose to $505 million in July, CAPMAS data showed, the...
From Hormuz to the Black Sea, shipping faces a new era of risk...
posted on: Sep 12, 2026
The global shipping industry is facing a “genuinely unprecedented” convergence of maritime crises, with vessels and seafarers increasingly being caught up in conflicts unrelated to their operations, a senior United Nations maritime official has warned. Four key regions, the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea, waters off Somalia and the Black Sea, are simultaneously experiencing serious security threats, creating a level of risk the industry has not faced before. Ships and their crews are increasingly being targeted, attacked or used as leverage in conflicts in which they have no direct involvement. Damien Chevalier, director of the Maritime Safety Division at the UN’s International Maritime Organization (IMO), told UN News that the scale and geographic spread of the threats were placing unprecedented pressure on the shipping sector and its workforce. What crisis is the shipping industry facing? The global shipping industry is facing an unprecedented convergence of security threats, with...
25 Years Later, Mariners Remember the Tragedy and Heroism of 9/11...
posted on: Sep 12, 2026
9 11 Calendar with the date of September 11, Patriot Day. We will never forget the terrorist attacks of september 11, 2001 25 years after 9/11, the nation has not forgotten the shock and tragedy of the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon – nor the heroism of the response that followed. In Manhattan, 2,700 people were killed that day, and countless more suffered lasting injuries from exposure to toxic smoke and dust. But in one of American maritime’s finest moments, hundreds of good Samaritan vessels and their crews rushed into harm’s way to evacuate survivors from the waterfront and carry them to safety, at considerable personal risk. After the towers began to collapse, the city moved to evacuate everyone located south of Canal Street – more than a million people. For those north of the disaster zone, evacuation on foot was possible, either north into Midtown...
