Piracy: hijackings turn deadly as two tankers freed, with third reportedly abandoned...
posted on: Oct 2, 2026
Second update: The Puntland Maritime Police Force (PMPF) has posted a statement in Somali to its X account. The statement, via automated translation, described the deaths of five and injuries to four of the crew members on board oil tanker Honour 25, which the PMPF freed from pirates who had held it and its crew hostage for five months. The vessel had 17 crew on board. “The group of pirates who had seized the vessel killed five members of the crew early this morning, before the operation began. Those killed included three Pakistani nationals, one Myanmar national and one Indian national. The pirates also wounded four crew members, including three Pakistanis and one Indian,” the statement read. “During the operation, the security forces captured 16 of the pirates, while a number of others escaped and are still being pursued by the forces. The authorities have information about the locations where...
Five crew members killed in Somali pirate hijacking of MT Honour 25...
posted on: Oct 1, 2026
In a tragic epilogue to the pirate seizure of the Palau-flagged tanker MT Honour 25, five seafarers were killed before Somali security forces intervened to retake the vessel off the coast of Somalia, Puntland authorities said. The rescue of the tanker MT Honour 25 off Somalia has brought a deadly pirate seizure to an end, but only after five seafarers lost their lives – a tragic end to an attack that has renewed concerns over the return of Somali piracy. The tanker, carrying about 18,500 barrels of petroleum products, was seized by pirates on April 21. Puntland’s Ministry of Information said a subsequent rescue operation freed the vessel and resulted in the capture of 16 suspected pirates. “Before the operation began, the pirates on board the ship killed five of the crew,” the ministry said in a statement. The victims were identified as three Pakistani nationals, one from Myanmar...
Mystery Deepens Around MSC Boxship After Vietnam Reports Medical Evacuation...
posted on: Oct 1, 2026
The mystery continues around the circumstances around the MSC Hermes III containership after Vietnamese authorities reported an emergency evacuation of a crewmember from the vessel on Tuesday, September 29. Last week, on September 22, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore reported it had coordinated the evacuation of the vessel, which later appeared to be under tow. The Vietnam Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Center reported it received an urgent call for aid on September 28 while the vessel was south of Vietnam. According to the statement, the captain advised that a 30-year-old crewmember had suffered a “work-related accident” that had resulted in a severe head injury from a fall. The crewmember had been experiencing from “unusual symptoms, vomiting, and unconsciousness.” The victim’s condition was assessed as serious and potentially life-threatening, requiring urgent medical assistance. Medical evacuation for a crewmember who fell unconscious and suffered a severe head injury...
Indian Coast Guard stabilises tanker after ballast tank flooding...
posted on: Oct 1, 2026
The Indian Coast Guard has stabilised the product tanker MT Seagull 9 after a main-engine failure triggered rapid flooding in one of its ballast tanks while the vessel was approaching Paradip. The tanker was sailing from Malaysia to Paradip Port with about 9,000 metric tonnes of palm oil when it issued a distress call at around 7:30 a.m. local time on 27 September. At the time, the vessel was approximately 37 nautical miles from Paradip. The Indian Coast Guard responded by deploying the offshore patrol vessel ICGS Vishwast, which reached the tanker and supported emergency damage-control operations. A specialist Coast Guard team boarded the vessel and began dewatering the affected ballast tanks using portable pumps. The team also isolated and sealed two damaged seawater pipelines and secured a third fractured line, helping to stop the ingress of water and restore the tanker’s stability. Following the emergency repairs, the vessel...
Corridor Sovereignty: Cooperation Without Surrendering Control...
posted on: Oct 1, 2026
Consider a vessel arriving late at a port. Its revised arrival time is useful to the cargo owner only if the terminal, inland carrier and receiver can act on it. Who may share that information, who must respond, and who settles a disagreement about what happened? These are the questions behind what we call corridor sovereignty: the capacity to coordinate trade across borders without surrendering control over how sensitive information is used. We argue for federation: participants remain independent and retain control of their data, while agreeing what they need to achieve together, how information is exchanged and how decisions are coordinated. The test is not who owns the platform, but whether the arrangements work for the parties at both ends. A corridor has two ends, and a lane has many hands A trade corridor crosses borders. Within it, cargo owners and their transport partners use recurring lanes whose...
91.5% want shoreside digital tools onboard, Digital Ship examines fleet IT scale...
posted on: Oct 1, 2026
Digital Ship’s Autumn 2026 Data & IT Infrastructure Journal examines how shipowners can build digital systems that work across vessels, shore teams and mixed fleets. The issue puts data quality, interoperability and hybrid computing at the heart of repeatable maritime digitalisation. Digital Ship has launched its latest journal, Data & IT Infrastructure, with a focus on one of the less visible parts of fleet digitalisation: whether the underlying technology can support growth across ships and shore operations. Written by Clarissa Wright, the Autumn 2026 issue examines maritime IT architecture, data quality, system integration, cloud and edge computing, resilience, governance and digital culture. Its editorial focus asks how shipowners can deploy digital tools across fleets that often combine new vessels with systems that have been in service for decades. One figure captures the appetite for better ship-to-shore integration. The journal cites Thetius-Marlink research showing that 91.5% of surveyed industry operators...
EU seeks more warships as Houthi threats disrupt Red Sea shipping...
posted on: Sep 30, 2026
Two countries have indicated they are considering sending additional warships to help counter renewed Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, according to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, as pressure mounts on European governments to strengthen maritime security in the region. The Red Sea is again becoming a major flashpoint for commercial shipping. Growing Houthi attacks are putting pressure on Europe to protect merchant vessels, with ships waiting for escorts while frigates prove to be in short supply. Kallas has been urging European Union member states to provide additional naval assets for Operation Aspides, the EU’s maritime security mission tasked with protecting commercial shipping from attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi movement. She warned that the growing number of attacks has stretched the mission’s available resources and limited its ability to escort all vessels seeking protection. “We need more vessels because literally there are commercial ships that are waiting in...
Red Sea convoy demand overwhelms EU escort capacity...
posted on: Sep 30, 2026
Merchant vessels are now queuing for naval escorts through the southern Red Sea, with the European Union admitting that its Aspides mission does not have enough warships to meet demand. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas made the unusually stark admission following a meeting of European defence ministers in Brussels on Monday. “There are commercial ships that are waiting in the queue to receive the escort,” Kallas said, adding that the EU does not have enough frigates available to provide the required protection. Containerships, in particular, have returned en masse to the Suez route recently with consultancy Linerlytica counting more than 140 boxships with a total capacity of more than 2m teu returning to the Suez since May. Last week marked the busiest week for containership transits through the Suez Canal since 2024 as 30 ships of over 4,000 teu passed through the canal. Splash reported earlier this month...
Europe Draws More LNG as Hormuz Crisis Tightens Global Market...
posted on: Sep 30, 2026
(Bloomberg) — European imports of liquefied natural gas are rising ahead of the Northern Hemisphere winter, as prolonged disruptions to flows through the Strait of Hormuz threaten to intensify global competition for the fuel. Deliveries to the European Union and UK are about 4% lower than a year ago on a 30-day moving average, but have increased since early August, when imports were 30% below last year’s levels, ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg show. Over the same period, LNG flows to Northeast Asia fell. The price arbitrage for US LNG currently favors Europe over Asia, according to traders, providing an incentive for Atlantic cargoes to remain in the region into October. Europe is projected to absorb about a quarter of global LNG supplies in September, up from less than 19% in July, according to Kpler. The persistent lack of LNG from the Persian Gulf, which provided about a fifth of global...

Chinese criticism of Japan’s growing defense budget appears to have been one of the most consequential developments coming out of the days President Xi Jinping spent in Washington for his state visit, which otherwise seems to have done little to move forward Sino-US relations. In advance of the meeting, Chinese Ambassador to Washington Xie Feng had warned that President Xi should not be challenged over Taiwan, democracy and human rights, nor restrictions to China’s growing development influence in the world, so the agenda between the two presidents was limited. Japan’s Sanae Takaichi was in New York at the same time to make her first appearance as Prime Minister at the UN General Assembly, and held bilateral meetings with President Trump in New York. Chinese state media chose the moment of the Sino-US summit to launch a stinging attack on Prime Minister Takaichi’s radical plans to increase Japanese defense spending,...
International Green Shipping Corridor Alliance launched in Beijing...
posted on: Sep 30, 2026
A new international alliance bringing together shipping lines, ports, energy companies and other maritime stakeholders has been launched in Beijing, aiming to accelerate the industry’s transition towards lower-emission operations. As shipping moves from decarbonisation targets to the practical challenge of building cleaner trade routes, a new international alliance has been launched to bring maritime players together around the development of green shipping corridors. The International Green Shipping Corridor Alliance will focus on connecting projects, standards, technologies and fuel supply across the maritime value chain to help accelerate the industry’s transition to lower-emission shipping. The initiative is jointly led by the Global Sustainable Transport Innovation and Knowledge Center, COSCO SHIPPING Group, CMA CGM Group, China Energy Engineering Group and Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG), among others. According to China Transport News, the alliance is the first non-governmental international organisation established specifically to promote cooperation around international green shipping corridors.

Iran Says Won’t Soften Demands As Trump Rejects Hormuz Offer...
posted on: Sep 29, 2026
By Eltaf Najafizada and Courtney Subramanian Sep 27, 2026 (Bloomberg) –Iran stuck to its seven-day proposal for reopening the crucial Strait of Hormuz, saying it won’t soften its conditions, while President Donald Trump sent mixed signals about his willingness to reach a deal. The conditions Iran wants are something Washington might have agreed to about a year ago, Trump told Axios in an interview on Sunday, saying that Tehran has overplayed its hand. The US president said he expects negotiations to resume this week even though he rejected Iran’s latest proposal, Axios said. Earlier, the Islamic Republic indicated it was awaiting a definitive US response to its demands and that it had yet to receive anything from mediators Qatar and Pakistan, state-run broadcaster IRIB reported late Saturday, citing Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. “The US president has made some good remarks as well as many contradictory ones, which unfortunately we hear from him...
