Complying with CIC 2026 on Cargo Securing: A best practice guide...
posted on: Aug 5, 2026
Ahead of the 2026 Cargo Securing Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC), SQE MARINE provides practical guidance to help shipowners, operators and crews prepare for inspections and demonstrate compliance. The campaign will run from 1 September to 30 November 2026 under the Paris and Tokyo MoUs, with participating vessels assessed through an additional questionnaire during routine Port State Control inspections. The Indian Ocean, Mediterranean and Black Sea MoUs have also confirmed their participation, while further MoUs may join before the campaign begins. The official SOLAS documentation, including Chapters VI (‘Carriage of Cargoes’) and VII (‘Carriage of Dangerous Goods’), as well as the ‘Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing’ (CSS), sets out the fundamental principles for the safe carriage of solid bulk cargoes, fuel oils, and grain. Furthermore, the approved ‘Cargo Securing Manual’ (CSM) contains ship-specific details for securing the cargo. Aim of CIC The purpose of this inspection campaign is...
Container ship runs aground in Chattogram Port channel after steering failure...
posted on: Aug 4, 2026
A container vessel ran aground in the Chattogram port channel on Monday afternoon after a steering problem, port authorities said. The vessel, MV CNC Uranus, struck Red Buoy No. 2 near the entrance of the Karnaphuli River before becoming grounded against a retaining wall at around 2:30pm. Chattogram Port Secretary Sayed Refayet Hamim said the accident occurred when the vessel suffered a steering gear malfunction while entering the port channel. “The ship hit Red Buoy No. 2 due to the steering failure and later became stuck against the retaining wall,” he said. Two port tugboats- Kandari-4 and Kandari-11 have been deployed to safely refloat and remove the vessel from the channel. The Bangladesh Navy and Bangladesh Coast Guard are also working in coordination with the port authorities to ensure the safety and security of the navigation channel, the port secretary added. According to the Chattogram Port Authority, the 170-metre-long...
Minimum safe manning must not become shipping’s commercial target...
posted on: Aug 4, 2026
On opening The Nautical Institute London Branch conference on geopolitical maritime risks and security threats to seafarers, I asked the delegates to consider a simple question: what can we do to make life safer and better for the people at sea? The programme was wide ranging, covering conflict zones, cyber incidents, GNSS disruption, abandonment and the shadow fleet, yet the words that stayed with me throughout the day, were fatigue, leadership and kindness. They may sound less dramatic than missiles, drones or electronic interference, but they have a direct bearing on whether a ship’s crew can respond effectively when a situation deteriorates. During one discussion, a speaker questioned whether minimum safe manning can sometimes come to mean little more than the lowest allowable crewing level. It was an uncomfortable but an important point. Minimum safe manning has an essential regulatory purpose; to ensure sufficient crew so that rest hours...
US Embassy reminds visa applicants to prove financial self-sufficiency...
posted on: Aug 4, 2026
The US Embassy in Dhaka has reminded prospective travellers to the United States to demonstrate that they have sufficient financial means to support themselves during their stay and are unlikely to become dependent on public assistance. In a nonimmigrant visa reminder posted on its official Facebook page on Monday, the embassy advised visa applicants to come prepared for their visa interviews with evidence showing they can cover their travel expenses, including any unexpected travel disruptions or medical emergencies. “If you’re planning travel to the United States, make sure you have the financial means to pay your own way—including any travel disruptions or medical emergencies that could arise,” it said. The embassy also urged applicants to bring proof to their visa interviews demonstrating that they are unlikely to become a public charge after being admitted to the United States. It warned that abusing US taxpayer-funded public benefits could have long-term...
Splash Wrap: War-risk map widens
posted on: Aug 4, 2026
Splash’s Middle East coverage this week has followed the rapid expansion of maritime risk across the Gulf and Red Sea. Reporting has examined renewed US-Iran exchanges, Tehran’s attempts to reshape transit through Hormuz, and the prospect of fees or political conditions being imposed on commercial passage. In the Red Sea, Splash tracked Houthi threats against Saudi-linked shipping, attacks on tankers and the proposed creation of a Saudi-led maritime coalition. Meanwhile, a floating storage and regasification unit and an LNG carrier were hit on Wednesday in an apparent drone attack at Egypt’s Damietta terminal, potentially extending the Middle East’s rapidly widening maritime conflict into the Mediterranean. Commercial shipping is increasingly becoming a direct target, not collateral damage, across the Black Sea with Ukraine and Russia stepping up attacks this week, and Moscow now contemplating doing what it has done in the Baltic, namely arming cargo vessels. HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Philippines launched this week the...
Six Saudi Tankers Turn Away From Gulf of Aden, Ship-tracking Data Shows...
posted on: Aug 4, 2026
LONDON, Aug 3 (Reuters) – Six Saudi-flagged supertankers have changed course in the Gulf of Aden in recent days and are heading to southern Africa following threats by Yemen’s Houthi movement to target Saudi shipping, tracking data showed on Monday. The tankers, which were empty of cargo after returning from destinations in Asia, were sailing in formation towards southern Africa, rather than opting to transit the southern Red Sea via the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint, according to AIS ship-tracking on LSEG and MarineTraffic. One of the tankers, Dilam, had Gibraltar as its destination, ship tracking showed. The vessels’ Saudi-based operator Bahri and other Saudi officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The tankers, each of which can carry a maximum of two million barrels of crude oil, had opted to re-route via the Cape taking into account the security situation, two trade sources said, based on their assessments. Their journeys will add at least 25 additional days of sailing time...
How shipping insurance rates are rising, as Hormuz, Bab al-Mandeb shut down...
posted on: Aug 3, 2026
Maritime insurance prices have soared amid shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and are also rising for vessels traversing the Bab al-Mandeb strait, with both waterways – critical channels for the global economy – now theatres of war. Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi group announced a blockade of Saudi Arabian ports and ships in the Bab al-Mandeb strait, which connects the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, earlier this week. This comes on top of ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz due to the US-Israel war on Iran. Tehran has insisted that ships consult it before trying to pass, while the US has imposed a naval blockade of Iran-linked ships. Here is a look at the shipping disruptions caused by the war, and how they are driving up insurance prices. What is happening in the Strait of Hormuz? Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Thursday that an explosion set...
NGO Says EU Approval of Indian Scrappers Would Set a Double Standard...
posted on: Aug 3, 2026
The European Commission’s proposal to include two Indian ship recyclers for the first time on the approved list of yards available to the industry is sparking a renewed debate over the handling of end-of-life ships. The NGO Shpbreakingplatform, which has long been a vocal critic of the South Asian yards, is calling on the Europeans to remove the two Indian yards from the proposed list to ensure consistency and to meet the long-standing environmental obligations, while the European Shipowners’ association welcomed the news. The EC is seeking public comments on its proposed 16th update of the approved list of ship recycling facilities. The NGO highlights that while a Turkish yard is being removed for “recurring deficiencies,” the draft, however, includes two yards located in Alang, India. The NGO emphasizes that yards in India continue to beach ships on the mudflats, and while the practice is not per se explicitly...
The small test that can prevent a nickel ore tragedy...
posted on: Aug 3, 2026
The can test cannot replace laboratory analysis, but it can give crews an early warning that a seemingly solid cargo is dangerously wet. Captain Simon Hodgkinson, global head of loss prevention at West P&I, explains. This year’s Day of the Seafarer focused on seafarers carrying world trade but also arrying the risks. One risk is the carriage of nickel ore. “The dangers of nickel ore are known by shipowners, operators, charterers, masters and crews, but they have not gone away. Nickel ore liquefaction On paper, nickel ore is a bulk cargo like many others, but at sea, if it has not been properly sampled, tested and handled, it can become a serious threat to the vessel and crew. Nickel ore that is too wet can liquefy during the voyage, and a cargo that appeared solid at loading can lose strength, shift, and affect the vessel’s stability. In the worst...
7 micro-habits to help seafarers reset their minds...
posted on: Aug 3, 2026
Life at sea does not always leave much time or space for recovery. Operational demands, disrupted sleep, prolonged separation from family and limited privacy can allow physical and emotional tension to accumulate throughout the day. Although no three-second exercise can “rewire” the brain or eliminate serious stress, small actions can interrupt automatic reactions and create a moment in which a seafarer can respond more deliberately. When repeated consistently, these micro-habits may become useful additions to a wider wellbeing routine. 1. Relax your face Begin by noticing whether you are frowning, clenching your jaw or tightening the muscles around your eyes. Soften your expression and try a gentle smile. Research into facial feedback suggests that facial expressions may influence emotional experience, but the effects are generally small and vary considerably. Smiling should therefore be treated as a simple physical reset – not as an instruction to hide difficult feelings or appear happy...
100 wind-powered cargo ships strengthen case for immediate decarbonisation...
posted on: Aug 3, 2026
Shipowners should stop treating decarbonisation as a decision that begins only when alternative fuels become widely available, according to BAR Technologies, which argues that technologies already delivering fuel savings deserve greater attention in fleet investment plans. The company’s comments follow a study by EY Greece that concluded shipping’s path to net zero will require substantial capital and will be influenced by fuel availability, infrastructure, shipyard capacity, access to finance and commercial alignment across the industry. BAR Technologies agrees that long-term fuel planning remains essential, but says many owners can already reduce fuel consumption through technologies available today. The company argues that wind propulsion should be viewed as an immediate emissions-reduction measure rather than a future option. Industry adoption has gathered pace. According to the International Windship Association, more than 100 large commercial cargo ships, representing over five million deadweight tonnes, are now equipped with wind propulsion systems. BAR Technologies...
Bangladesh, Maldives discuss direct shipping link...
posted on: Aug 1, 2026
Bangladesh and the Maldives on Sunday discussed establishing a direct shipping link between the two countries to boost bilateral trade and connectivity as part of efforts to deepen their long-standing friendly relations. The issue was discussed during a bilateral meeting between Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman and his Maldivian counterpart Iruthisham Adam in Malé, the foreign ministry said in a press release. During the meeting, the two ministers explored ways to further strengthen Bangladesh-Maldives relations through enhanced cooperation in migration and expatriate welfare, tourism, education, health, blue economy and maritime connectivity. They exchanged views on the proposed direct shipping link, which is expected to facilitate bilateral trade and improve connectivity between the two South Asian nations. The two sides also discussed possible high-level visits as part of efforts to boost bilateral engagement. Khalilur reaffirmed the government’s “Bangladesh First” foreign policy and underscored the importance of strengthening people-to-people ties between the...
