IMO condemns the resurgence of security incidents in the Red Sea...
posted on: Jul 31, 2026
Renewed Houthi attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea have drawn condemnation from the International Maritime Organization (IMO), as escalating security risks threaten a critical maritime corridor and raise concerns over further disruption to global trade routes. The attacks resumed on July 22, with four vessels reportedly hit or affected during the latest wave of incidents. In particular, according to Windward, ENCELIA (IMO 9240172) was struck by an unidentified projectile approximately 70 nautical miles southwest of Al Shuqaiq, Saudi Arabia on July 22. LAYLA (IMO 9336098) is claimed to have been hit by the Houthis, but unconfirmed, and tracking has been offline since July 15, last seen entering Saudi waters near the Yemen border. In addition, NCC MASA (IMO 9688336), a Saudi-owned oil products tanker of 183 meters carrying approximately 215,100 barrels of diesel according to Vortexa, was struck in the Red Sea on July 24, suffering minor hull...
India Flags Attack on LPG Tanker in Iran Waters, Says Crew Safe...
posted on: Jul 30, 2026
India’s embassy in Tehran said it is in close contact with authorities after a liquefied petroleum gas tanker, with 28 Indian crew members onboard, came under attack in Iranian territorial waters on Friday. The embassy confirmed that the Indian nationals are safe and that it continues to monitor the situation closely, according to a statement posted on X after the attack on the vessel DISHA. Separately, India’s external affairs ministry said a commercial vessel MV OMORFI was attacked while transiting the Black Sea, reportedly in Russian territorial waters. One Indian died in the attack, while two others are reported to be safe, the ministry said, condemning the strikes on commercial ships. The Indian mission in Russia has contacted relevant authorities. The developments highlight the growing risks faced by seafarers as global conflicts intensify including the war in the Middle East. Last month, vessels carrying Indian crew were struck by American forces in the Gulf of Oman, prompting local authorities...
7 + 1 sources of stress affecting seafarer wellbeing...
posted on: Jul 30, 2026
Life at sea can expose seafarers to multiple pressures at the same time, from demanding workloads and financial concerns to isolation, disrupted sleep and global uncertainty. Stress does not always have one obvious cause. Work demands, family separation, difficult relationships, environmental conditions and physical exhaustion can build up simultaneously, particularly when there is limited time for recovery or support. Recognising the source of stress—and noticing its early warning signs—can help seafarers respond before it affects their physical health, emotional wellbeing, concentration and ability to work safely. Stress rarely occurs in isolation For seafarers, the pressures of work and personal life are often closely connected. Long periods away from home, demanding schedules, limited privacy, interrupted sleep and concern for family members can combine, making it difficult to identify one specific source of distress. ISWAN’s SeafarerHelp 2025 Annual Review highlighted this cumulative effect. Seafarers increasingly sought support for complex, interconnected challenges involving...
Asia-Bound Tanker Exits Red Sea Via Suez as Others Risk Strait...
posted on: Jul 30, 2026
By Weilun Soon Jul 27, 2026 (Bloomberg) –An Asia-bound supertanker carrying Saudi oil has exited the Red Sea via the longer Suez Canal route while other vessels continue to risk the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, as Houthi threats heighten uncertainty in the region. The very large crude carrier Olympic Luck transited the Suez Canal partially laden with Saudi crude into the Mediterranean Sea late Sunday, according to data from market intelligence firm Kpler. Shipping fixtures seen by Bloomberg indicate the vessel, which is Greek owned, is now heading to an unspecified destination in Asia after switching from Europe. Olympic Luck is likely the first supertanker with Saudi crude to take a longer and costlier route around Africa to reach Asia, after Iran-backed Houthi rebels declared a blockade in the Red Sea and attacked vessels last week. Still, ships carrying oil from the kingdom and operated by nations friendly with Iran, such as China and Pakistan, have...
Ukraine strike on Iranian ship ties wars together...
posted on: Jul 30, 2026
The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East collided at sea over the weekend after a Ukrainian long-range drone strike hit an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea, prompting Tehran to warn that the attack would not go unanswered. Iran said the unidentified commercial ship was struck early on Saturday, triggering an explosion that killed one sailor and injured another. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky later claimed Kyiv had achieved “very strong results” against a Russian warship and vessels used to carry Iran-linked military cargo across the Caspian, although he did not name the ships involved. Tehran summoned Ukraine’s chargé d’affaires, branded the strike a hostile and criminal act and accused Kyiv of deliberately widening the war. Foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said in calls with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov that the attack “cannot go unanswered”. The escalation complicates diplomatic efforts to contain...
Cargo Securing in focus: Preparing for the 2026 PSC CIC...
posted on: Jul 30, 2026
The Paris and Tokyo Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) on Port State Control (PSC) will conduct a joint Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) focusing on cargo securing. As the campaign approaches, Jordan Hatch, Loss Prevention Executive at NorthStandard, shares insights on how shipowners and operators can prepare. From 1 September to 30 November 2026, the Paris and Tokyo Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) on Port State Control (PSC) will conduct a joint Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) focusing on cargo securing. During this period, PSC officers will apply a dedicated inspection questionnaire alongside routine inspections across ports in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. While avoiding deficiencies or detention will be a priority for operators, the campaign is also a timely reminder that shortcomings in cargo securing often reflect wider operational risks, many of which can ultimately lead to P&I claims. More than a compliance exercise Cargo securing is a fundamental part of safe ship operations....
Weekend lull fails to unlock Hormuz shipping
posted on: Jul 28, 2026
The Strait of Hormuz experienced its quietest weekend in nearly two weeks after the US and Iran paused their attacks, but commercial shipping remained close to paralysis and tensions continued to spread towards the Red Sea. The Pentagon halted its bombing campaign late on Friday after 13 consecutive nights of strikes. No fresh US or Iranian attacks were reported during the weekend. US ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said the pause was intended to give diplomatic discussions more room. The calm has yet to translate into confidence among shipowners. The seven-day moving average of crude tanker transits through Hormuz stands at approximately one vessel per day, with total commercial traffic running at around 12 daily passages. Meanwhile, shipowners paying tolls or other charges to secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz risk losing hull cover under new model wording published by the Lloyd’s Market Association. The LMA5708...

Connected vessels, shared responsibility: An exclusive interview with Ioannis Rizos, Head of ICT Infrastructure, Dynagas...
posted on: Jul 28, 2026
Greater connectivity has transformed daily life at sea. Crew can make video calls home, vessels can receive remote technical support, and operators have far greater visibility of fleet operations than they had only a few years ago. However, for Ioannis Rizos, Head of ICT Infrastructure at Dynagas, those gains have not changed the fundamentals of cyber resilience. They have simply changed where companies need to look. Drawing on experience across ship ownership, automation and information technology, Mr. Rizos believes the industry’s biggest challenge is no longer treating cyber security as an IT problem. Real resilience comes from strategy, people, trusted partners and practical safeguards that keep vessels operating when something goes wrong. Cyber security is no longer an IT function operating in isolation. It is an operational business function that influences safety, compliance, commercial continuity and crew welfare. Successful organisations treat cyber resilience as a shared responsibility across every...
Rescuers scour South China Sea for survivors after Vietnamese ship sinks...
posted on: Jul 28, 2026
A multinational rescue operation is underway in the South China Sea after the Vietnamese general cargo ship Khoi Nguyen 18 sank in severe weather near Fiery Cross Reef. Chinese maritime authorities said 47 Vietnamese nationals had been rescued by Chinese units by Monday morning, with one more picked up by the Vietnamese side. The latest two survivors were found late on Sunday by the China Coast Guard ships. Vietnam’s foreign ministry had earlier put the number rescued at 45 from the 62 people onboard, leaving 17 missing as of midday on Sunday. Hanoi said the ship went down while operating in bad weather. The first large group of survivors was found after the Chinese rescue ship Nanhai Jiu 115 detected a distress signal and approached a life raft, recovering 29 people. Forty-one survivors were later transferred to the Vietnamese naval vessel Truong Sa-01. Chinese rescue ships and a helicopter,...
