Iran’s Empty Tankers are Still Running Blockade, But Loadings Have Stopped...
posted on: May 25, 2026
The U.S. Navy’s blockade on Iranian shipping continues to turn back vessels in the Gulf of Oman, but Central Command has not yet sealed up all of its leaks, according to TankerTrackers.com. Empty tankers are still making it through in small numbers and reaching safe anchorages off Iran’s loading terminals. Since the launch in April, the forces assigned to the blockade have turned back 81 vessels and detained four more, CENTCOM said in a statement Sunday. The mission’s objective is to ratchet up the economic pressure on Iran and compel the regime to yield in its stalled negotiations with the United States. The blockade has been highly successful in preventing laden Iranian tankers from exiting the Gulf and delivering oil; it has been mosty successful in blocking empty tankers headed westbound, but some continue to get through. Three sanctioned tankers in ballast made it past the Gulf of Oman...

posted on: May 24, 2026
The Federal Bureau of Maritime Casualty Investigation (BSU) has published an interim investigation report regarding an incident where an LNG tanker run aground at the entrance to the Port of Mukran on 22 May 2025. The incident Before the vessel approached Mukran on 22 May 2025, the Master came on the bridge at 0305. At that time, the vessel was approximately 20 minutes from the Arkona buoy, and the bridge was manned by the Second Officer and the 0–4 watchman. There were no concerns regarding the surrounding maritime traffic, and the Master went back down for a few minutes to work on his laptop. At 0329, the Master returned to the bridge and spoke to the officer of the watch (OOW) about the pilot boarding time, the arrival speed, as well as the stand-by time for the mooring stations and the pilot boarding arrangement. At 0335, the OOW called...
Nigerian Ports Blocked by Collision Between Maersk Feeder and Small Tanker...

A feeder containership operated by Maersk was involved in an incident in Nigeria’s Bonny Channel, which has left the ship aground. According to media reports, the Maersk Valparaiso is blocking access to the channel and preventing ship movements at Port Harcourt and the Onne port, where it was headed. The 23,359-dwt feeder has a capacity of 1,740 TEU and operates on a route linking Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, and Côte d’Ivoire. Built in 2010, the feeder is 175 meters (574 feet) in length. Registered in Singapore, it has been operating for Maersk since 2022. According to a statement from the Nigerian Maritime Administration, the Maersk Valparaiso was inbound to the West Africa Container Terminal located in Onne Port on May 20. It was carrying approximately 717 containers bound for the terminal operated by Maersk’s APM Terminals. The Daily Trend newspaper reports the vessel was maneuvering in the channel, preparing to dock at berth 4...
WinGD, Vale and Shandong Shipping back ethanol-fuelled ore carriers in decarbonisation push...
posted on: May 24, 2026
A new fuel choice is entering the deep-sea bulk trade as shipowners search for practical ways to cut emissions without limiting future fuel options. WinGD has secured the first orders for ethanol-fuelled engines designed for ocean-going vessels, with the technology set to power two Newcastlemax ore carriers for Shandong Shipping Corporation under long-term charter to Vale. The 325,000 dwt vessels will be built at Beihai Shipbuilding in China and fitted with WinGD’s new 6X82DF-M/E engines. The engines are designed to operate primarily on ethanol fuel and are scheduled for delivery in 2029. The order carries significance beyond the vessels themselves. While methanol has gained much of the early attention in alternative fuel discussions, ethanol offers another alcohol-based option with existing production and supply networks in several regions, particularly Brazil. WinGD adapted the new engine platform from its methanol-fuelled concept already in service. According to the company, the main modifications...

Bangladesh’s Maritime Renaissance and the Rise of MJL Bangladesh Bangladesh’s maritime sector has entered a transformative era marked by confidence, technological advancement, and global ambition. Among the companies leading this remarkable transition is MJL Bangladesh PLC, a concern of the East Coast Group (ECG), which has steadily emerged as one of the country’s most dynamic maritime and energy transportation enterprises. Through bold investments in modern vessels, strategic international partnerships, and visionary leadership, MJL Bangladesh is not only strengthening the nation’s shipping capacity but also redefining Bangladesh’s image within the global maritime industry. The recent keel-laying ceremony for the LPG carrier Omera Pride in Japan marks a watershed moment in Bangladesh’s maritime history. For the first time, a Bangladeshi shipping company has undertaken the construction of a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tanker in Japan, a nation globally respected for its superior shipbuilding standards, engineering excellence, and technological innovation.

IMO Passes Non-Mandatory Safety Code for Autonomous Ships...
posted on: May 23, 2026
The IMO has taken a new step forward towards comprehensive regulation of unmanned shipping, building upon years of debate and detailed development work. At the latest meeting of the Marine Safety Committee, delegates approved a final text for the non-mandatory Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships code (MASS code), which codifies a set of safety standards for unmanned vessels in international trade. While the code is only a guideline for now, it is on track to become mandatory as early as 2028, and it gives a sense of what the requirements for unmanned shipping might soon look like in operation. According to IMO, the purpose of the code is to regulate emerging technology and maintain safety while also enabling innovation. Autonomous ships – which entail scaled-up size and risk compared to autonomous boats – are still in their infancy, and this is the first set of specifications that applies globally to...
Daniamant and Navico tighten bridge integration as ship operators seek cleaner navigation workflows...
posted on: May 23, 2026
Bridge teams are handling more screens, more alerts and more streams of operational data than ever before. The pressure is about making systems work together without creating extra complexity for crews. This sits behind Daniamant’s latest software update for its EchoPilot Forward Looking Sonar systems, which now integrates directly with Navico Group multi-function displays including Simrad, B&G and Lowrance platforms. The update allows navigators to access real-time forward-looking sonar imagery through existing bridge display systems rather than relying on separate interfaces. Offshore zones or poorly charted routes, the practical value lies in reducing fragmented workflows on the bridge. EchoPilot’s FLS 3D systems provide live visualisation of the seabed ahead of the vessel with forward visibility of up to 200 metres and depth visibility of up to 100 metres. The platform also includes Average Forward Depth technology, which calculates seabed depth ahead of the vessel as an additional navigational reference....
OCIMF Annual Report 2026: SIRE 2.0 impact is becoming clear...
posted on: May 23, 2026
The Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) has launched its annual report for 2026, highlighting that one year after its launch, SIRE 2.0 reshaped marine inspections by combining digital innovation and human factors. Launched in 2024, SIRE 2.0 set out to modernise inspections through digitalisation, greater data transparency and a stronger focus on human factors. Now, with more than 24,000 inspections completed, its impact is becoming clear, as it is not just a technical upgrade, but a broader cultural shift. From paper to digital Transitioning from a long-established paper-based system to a fully digital inspection regime has been a significant challenge. Connectivity issues, hardware variability, and the sheer scale of data management tested the industry’s adaptability. But the biggest hurdle was cultural – changing habits built over decades. Despite these challenges, the level of engagement and industry’s willingness to adapt have been tremendous, resulting in a more transparent, efficient, and insightful...
Erratic Traffic Poses Real Risks for Strait of Hormuz Transits...
posted on: May 23, 2026
A new industry-written guide to transiting the Strait of Hormuz paints a picture of exceptional risk, and not just from the missile and drone attacks launched by Iran. While the shipping industry’s leading associations think that transits are a responsible choice under the right circumstances, the navigational hazards on the route are real, and the consequences of a collision or grounding are elevated. The new official guidance was released this week by ICS, BIMCO, Intertanko, IMCA, Intercargo and OCIMF, and it reflects the full spectrum of industry concerns. The kinetic threat is the headline risk factor in any discussion of the strait, and the guide’s advice is to stay clear of the waterway for at least 12 hours after a confirmed attack and avoid mined areas. But the other risk is the traffic situation that may develop during an opening of the waterway. The guidance advises operators to prepare for a rush, and...

NATO Weighing Hormuz Mission If Strait Crisis Drags Into Summer...
posted on: May 22, 2026
By Andrea Palasciano (Bloomberg) — NATO is discussing the possibility of helping ships pass through the blocked Strait of Hormuz if the waterway isn’t reopened by early July, according to a senior official in the military alliance. The idea has support from several members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, but doesn’t yet have the necessary unanimous support, said a diplomat from a NATO country. Both officials spoke on the condition of anonymity. Leaders from NATO countries will meet in Ankara July 7-8. “The political direction comes first, and then the formal planning happens after that,” said Alexus Grynkewich, NATO’s supreme allied commander Europe, when asked about the possibility at a Tuesday press conference. “Am I thinking about it? Absolutely.” Such a move would represent a shift in the military alliance’s strategy toward the US-Israeli war in Iran. Thus far, allies have insisted they would only be involved in the strait...
