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...
Cargo Flow Is the Real Financial Risk for Ports...
posted on: Sep 11, 2026
By Sabrina Brigance, CMIP Ports have traditionally measured performance through cargo volume, vessel calls, crane productivity, and infrastructure capacity. Those metrics matter, but they do not tell the full financial story.Revenue depends on movement.Every vessel call, gate transaction, crane lift, cargo release, and intermodal transfer supports revenue, customer commitments, and contractual performance. When that movement slows or stops, financial consequences can begin almost immediately, often before physical damage is identified or an insurance claim is filed.That is why port risk needs to be viewed through a broader lens.Some of the most consequential losses facing ports do not involve catastrophic damage to infrastructure. Congestion, equipment failure, cyber disruption, cargo theft, labor challenges, weather volatility, and supply-chain dependencies can interrupt cargo flow without creating a clearly insured physical loss.The consequences may include delayed revenue, higher operating costs, contractual penalties, customer concessions, and, over time, cargo moving to a competing route or facility.There are...
Fincantieri maps out the future with Navis Sapiens...
posted on: Sep 11, 2026
Digitalisation has changed the way ships are designed, built and operated, yet many vessels still rely on disconnected software that becomes harder to manage over time. Fincantieri believes shipowners need a digital foundation that evolves alongside the vessel, allowing new applications, services and capabilities to be introduced long after delivery. That thinking sits behind the Fincantieri Digital Ecosystem (FDE), the platform powering the company’s Navis Sapiens programme. Built around an open digital architecture connecting ship and shore, the ecosystem is designed to support software deployment, over-the-air updates and artificial intelligence while giving shipowners greater flexibility over a vessel’s digital lifecycle. “We would like to move from selling the ships and taking care of the ships during the warranty period to asset servicing,” said Marco Sabatini, Chief Technology Officer of Fincantieri NexTech and head of the Navis Sapiens programme. “The idea here is to use a technology which evolves with...
Europe’s Largest Carbon Capture Facility Opens, Sending CO2 by Ship to North Sea Storage...
posted on: Sep 11, 2026
Europe’s largest industrial carbon capture facility has officially opened at Yara’s ammonia and fertilizer complex in Sluiskil, the Netherlands, creating a new cross-border CO2 supply chain that will rely on specialized ships to carry captured carbon to permanent storage beneath the North Sea. The facility can capture and liquefy up to 800,000 tons of CO2 annually from ammonia production. From Sluiskil, the liquefied CO2 will be loaded aboard Northern Lights’ purpose-built CO2 carriers and transported to the company’s receiving terminal at Øygarden on Norway’s west coast. From there, the CO2 will travel through a roughly 100-kilometer pipeline before being injected into the Aurora reservoir about 2,600 meters beneath the North Sea seabed. Yara said the project is expected to capture and permanently store around 12 million tons of CO2 over the next 15 years. “This is an important day for Yara and for European industry,” said Yara International President and...
RMI warns of maneuverability failures in China’s congested waters...
posted on: Sep 11, 2026
The Republic of the Marshall Islands Maritime Administrator has issued a renewed safety advisory warning shipowners and operators about maneuverability failures in China’s high-density traffic areas and narrow waters. The advisory renewed for 2026, follows continued reports of vessels losing maneuverability in Chinese waters for a range of reasons. The Administrator highlighted several recent incidents involving main engine failures and machinery problems, underscoring the need for robust maintenance, thorough testing and effective preparation before vessels enter congested or restricted waters. #1 Incident On departure from a shipyard in Zhoushan, a ship was transiting from C.J.K. anchorage No.3 to Nanjing, when the Main Engine shut down due to low lubricating oil pressure and high temperature. When the crew dismantled the three-way valve which controls the oil flow to the lubricating oil cooler, the valve was found to have been assembled in the wrong direction during overhaul at the shipyard, and...
Six maritime emissions regimes: 90POE secures independent certification for OpenOcean STUDIO...
posted on: Sep 11, 2026
90POE’s OpenOcean STUDIO has received independent certification from Normec Verifavia across six major maritime emissions and fuel compliance regimes. The certification gives shipowners and managers an independently assessed system for handling emissions calculations, voyage data and regulatory reporting as EU ETS, FuelEU Maritime and IMO CII requirements shape fleet operations. 90POE has secured independent certification for its OpenOcean STUDIO platform from maritime verifier Normec Verifavia, covering six regulatory frameworks used by shipowners and operators to monitor and report emissions. The certification covers EU MRV, EU ETS, UK MRV, IMO DCS, IMO CII and FuelEU Maritime. Normec Verifavia tested the platform’s fuel consumption and CO2 calculations, voyage allocation, activity data and IT controls, including security, confidentiality, archiving, performance and change management. The result matters at fleet level because emissions compliance now reaches into routine commercial and technical operations. Shipowners must collect accurate activity data, allocate it correctly across voyages and...
IACS brings OCCS, cargo safety and IGF Code proposals to IMO’s CCC 12...
posted on: Sep 11, 2026
The International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) has submitted a series of proposals to IMO’s upcoming CCC 12 meeting, addressing safety issues related to onboard carbon capture, alternative fuels and the carriage of Direct Reduced Iron (DRI). The 12th session of the IMO Sub-Committee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers (CCC 12) will take place from 14 to 18 September 2026. Ahead of the meeting, IACS has outlined several technical proposals aimed at supporting consistent implementation of existing requirements while addressing emerging technologies and cargo-related risks. Safety framework for onboard carbon capture One of the key submissions concerns the growing use of onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) systems as a potential means of reducing ships’ CO₂ emissions. IACS has proposed interim safety guidelines covering the installation and operation of such systems. While OCCS could support shipping’s decarbonisation efforts, integrating the technology onboard introduces additional hazards that need to...
Shipping powers warn global maritime rulebook is breaking down...
posted on: Sep 10, 2026
Eighteen of the world’s leading maritime nations have issued an unusually stark warning that the international rules underpinning global shipping are being eroded, threatening to fragment both maritime markets and global trade. In a public statement titled In defence of free shipping, the Consultative Shipping Group (CSG), whose members include Greece, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Norway, Denmark, Germany and the UK, said the accumulation of wars, chokepoint disruption, shadow fleets and discriminatory trade measures amounts to a structural change in shipping’s operating environment. The group’s members represent more than a fifth of global trade by tonnage. The result is a two-tier system, one governed by rules, the other by opacity The CSG argued that maritime transport should now be viewed as critical infrastructure underpinning not only trade but global food and energy security. The warning goes well beyond the current battle over the Strait of Hormuz. The CSG pointed to...
Iran and Ukraine wars: Why ship fuel is running short, and why it matters...
posted on: Sep 10, 2026
Priyanka Shankar The shipping industry, already heavily constrained by restrictions on transit through key waterways such as the Strait of Hormuz, faces another challenge stemming from the US-Israel war on Iran and Russia’s war on Ukraine: a shortage of fuel oil used by ships and power plants. The fuel used by ships powers the transport of large cargoes around the world. Any shortage of this fuel could drive up global freight costs, which could in turn affect consumers and manufacturers of goods and commodities. Most ships and oil tankers mainly use heavy fuel oil (HFO), commonly known as bunker fuel, to power their engines. This fuel is produced when crude oil is refined. Other commonly used marine fuels include marine gas oil (used by smaller vessels), marine diesel oil (used in marine engines) and less polluting fuels like very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO). Why is ship fuel running...
Yemen Coast Guard Stops Tanker After Delivery to Houthi-Controlled Port...
posted on: Sep 10, 2026
The Yemen Coast Guard, which works for the internationally recognized government, has reportedly stopped a product tanker after it made a delivery in the Houthi-controlled port of Ras Isa. The Houthis have not responded to the seizure, but it is seen as another move in the increased conflict between the militants and the government backed by Saudi Arabia. The Houthis have increased their attacks on Saudi positions on both sides of the border. They reportedly continue to attack military positions and convoys bringing supplies into Yemen. This is in addition to the declared blockade of Saudi shipping interests from the Bab al-Mandeb and Red Sea imposed by the Houthis in July. The Yemen Coast Guard is asserting that the product tanker, which has been linked to Iran in the past, entered the port of Ras Isa without the necessary permits. It says the vessel had to obtain approval and...
MV Derbyshire: Remembering largest British ship ever lost at sea...
