Five years of the Code of Conduct: Is seafarer welfare reaching the ship?...
posted on: Sep 24, 2026
Five years after the launch of the Delivering on Seafarers’ Rights Code of Conduct, evidence is emerging that some shipping companies are making meaningful progress on crew welfare. Yet new research suggests that improvements at company level are not consistently translating into better experiences for seafarers across the wider industry. The Delivering on Seafarers’ Rights 2026 Progress Report, presents a mixed picture of progress and persistent challenges. Drawing on three previously unpublished data sources, the report combines industry data from RightShip’s Crew Welfare Self-Assessment (CWSA) with two new studies commissioned among seafarers themselves. The CWSA data points to substantial progress in several areas of welfare and human rights. But the experience reported by seafarers themselves is less positive. While companies participating in the CWSA report high levels of attainment across several areas, the two seafarer studies indicate that basic welfare provisions, including adequate crewing, access to mental-health support and confidence...
Somali Pirates Board Cargo Ship as Regional States Plan Security Effort...
posted on: Sep 24, 2026
Reports are coming in of a new security incident off the coast of Somalia involving an unnamed cargo ship that was boarded. It is the latest in a series of ongoing incidents that have led the member states of the Djibouti Code of Conduct sponsored by the International Maritime Organization to initiate a new security task force. The security officer of the unnamed cargo ship reported the company’s vessel had been boarded on Monday, August 17, approximately 4.5 nautical miles south of Maraya on the southern coast of Somalia. According to the information, at least eight pirates boarded the ship and took control. The crew is reported safe, and the EUNAVFOR Operation ATALANTA is investigating the incident and monitoring the situation. As the incident is inside the territorial waters of Somalia, the international groups monitor and coordinate with the local authorities. Security firm Vanguard Tech is identifying the...
1979 all over again? Iran and US Indian Ocean strategy transformed...
posted on: Sep 23, 2026
Nilanthi Samaranayake Recent reporting(Opens in new window) in the aftermath of Iran’s attacks on US bases in the Gulf suggests that the United States may not rebuild its presence in the northwest corner of the Indian Ocean region. While this outcome is far from certain, the US had ramped up its Indian Ocean presence in the first place also due to Iran, back in 1979. Just as that crisis nearly 50 years ago catalysed a new US approach to the region, the current crisis is an opportunity for the US to reassess its Indian Ocean strategy. The turning point for Washington in 1979 came when Iran’s revolution changed the country from a top US partner under Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi to a main adversary under Ayatollah rule. A combination of factors such as Iran’s oil reserves, ambition for expansive regional leadership, and purchases of American weapons had made Iran...
Global Diesel Prices Hit Record Highs
posted on: Sep 23, 2026
By Enes Tunagur and Sam Li LONDON, Sept 21 (Reuters) – Diesel prices have rallied in Europe and the United States to record highs as wars in Iran and Ukraine sharply cut exports from some of the biggest producers such as Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, with little options to prevent further gains. Diesel futures in Europe closed at an all-time high last week having more than double their level at the beginning of 2026, after supply disruptions spread to the Red Sea, where Saudi Arabia loads most of its diesel. The wars in the Middle East and Ukraine have damaged oil refineries in the region, and refineries elsewhere are working hard to make fuels. In the United States for example, refineries operated at the highest level in eight years in late August, according to the International Energy Agency. “A key issue is that many refineries around the world are...
Houthis Fighting on All Fronts and Aiming for the Red Sea Coast...
posted on: Sep 23, 2026
Fighting has now broken out on most fronts on the internal frontier within Yemen. The Houthis are seeking to portray the fighting as being between themselves and the Saudis. But the Saudis are in general only acting in a back-up and support for the forces of the Internationally Recognized Government (IRG), primarily using air power, and are not directly engaged – except on the northern border and on the receiving end of drone and missile attacks within Saudi Arabia, to which they have been restrained in response. Neither side appears to have made any substantial breakthrough as yet. For several months, the Houthi have been preparing the population of the areas they control in north Yemen for renewed conflict with Saudi Arabia, and signaling their intentions. IRG forces have accordingly had plenty of time to prepare, and while not having taken the initiative, have kept a careful eye on...
EU Ship Recycling Fight Escalates Over Indian Beaching Yards...
posted on: Sep 23, 2026
A fight over whether Indian shipbreaking yards using the controversial beaching method should qualify under European environmental rules is widening, with steelmakers, recyclers, trade unions and environmental groups now urging the European Commission to withdraw its proposal. The NGO Shipbreaking Platform, EUROFER, IndustriAll Europe, the European Environmental Bureau, Recycling Europe and Transport & Environment sent a joint letter to European Commissioners Jessika Roswall and Stéphane Séjourné opposing the proposed addition of two facilities in Alang-Sosiya, Gujarat, to the European List of Ship Recycling Facilities. The facilities — Shree Ram Vessel Scrap Pvt. Ltd./Shree Ram Shipping Industries Pvt. Ltd. and YSI Recyclers LLP — would become the first Indian yards approved under the EU system. Both use the beaching method, in which ships are driven onto intertidal areas before being dismantled. That practice has become the central issue in an increasingly sharp dispute over whether upgraded South Asian recycling yards can meet...
Upcoming IGC Code changes put LNG carrier safety requirements in focus...
posted on: Sep 23, 2026
The next generation of LNG carriers is already being designed with an eye on safety requirements that have yet to formally enter into force, as shipbuilders and classification societies prepare for a significant update to the IMO’s rules governing liquefied gas carriers. HD Hyundai Samho and ClassNK signed an MOU at Gastech 2026 in Bangkok on 16 September to jointly develop an LNG carrier design incorporating the forthcoming amendments to the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases, or IGC Code. The timing is significant as the amendments are expected to be adopted at the 112th session of the IMO Maritime Safety Committee (MSC 112) in December 2026 and are scheduled to enter into force on 1 July 2028. What is changing under the IGC Code? The proposed amendments address a range of technical and operational issues as the design and operation of gas...
Hormuz Shuttles Keep Oil Flowing, But At a High Cost...
posted on: Sep 22, 2026
By Ron Bousso LONDON, Sept 21 (Reuters) – A new shuttling system is reshaping the Middle East oil market, as producers seek to keep exports flowing despite the escalating regional conflict. The question now is whether this complex, expensive process is a stopgap measure or the global energy market’s new normal. Several miles off Oman’s coast, south of the Strait of Hormuz, rows of tankers lie at anchor. Many sit alongside each other, connected by ropes and hoses as they transfer crude from one vessel to another, creating a floating bridge between the Middle East’s oilfields and the global market. Ship-to-ship (STS) transfers have become a vital lifeline for Gulf producers as they adapt to the disruptions caused by the Iran war, now entering its seventh month. Once loaded, a tanker disconnects and heads for its destination, typically a refinery in Asia. The “mother vessel” then returns to the Gulf via Hormuz to reload and repeat the...
Captain killed in Black Sea strike as Türkiye pushes for shipping truce...
posted on: Sep 22, 2026
A merchant vessel heading for a Ukrainian port became the latest casualty of the war at sea on 17 September, when a Russian drone struck the Tanzania-flagged ship in the Black Sea, killing its captain and injuring three crew members. The Tanzania-flagged vessel was en route to a Ukrainian port when it was attacked on 17 September, according to Ukraine’s Infrastructure Ministry. The ministry did not identify the destination port, while the condition of the vessel was still being assessed. The attack adds to a series of incidents involving civilian shipping in the Black Sea, where commercial vessels and port infrastructure have increasingly been exposed to the wider conflict. Ukraine’s Infrastructure Ministry said Russia has repeatedly targeted Ukrainian ports, port infrastructure and civilian commercial vessels, posing a threat to international shipping and logistics routes. Kyiv has called for an international response and coordinated measures to strengthen the protection of...
Another Tanker Suffers Failure as Crew Suspect Cyber Attack...
posted on: Sep 22, 2026
(Bloomberg) — A liquefied natural gas tanker bringing fuel from the US to Europe suffered a systems failure that the crew reported as a suspected cyber attack, according to people familiar with the matter. In the latest of a number of potential cybersecurity incidents on tankers, the Vivit Africa LNG was sailing east in the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas toward Italy early this month when the crew were suddenly unable to access some of the internal control systems, the people said, asking not be identified because the information was not public. Trading giant Vitol Group confirmed that it has the ship under a long-term lease known as a time charter, without commenting further. After idling off the coast of Italy without discharging its cargo, the vessel on Wednesday began sailing away from its intended destination of Rovigo, heading back toward the Spanish port of Algeciras near the entrance to...
Qatar Energy Chief Says Bessent ‘Wrong’ About Hormuz Future...
posted on: Sep 22, 2026
By Kevin Whitelaw and Annmarie Hordern Sep 20, 2026 (Bloomberg) —Qatari Energy Minister Saad Al-Kaabi said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is “wrong” when he said that the strategic Strait of Hormuz will be worthless in two years. “I mean, maybe this is his view. I think this is completely wrong,” he said, speaking Sunday at the Qatar Economic Forum in New York City. Bessent had made the remark earlier this month, saying that the crucial waterway — a crunchpoint for the global oil trade that has been largely blocked by the Iran war — will become less important as countries work on pipelines to bypass it. “In two years, the Strait of Hormuz will be like a worthless piece of water,” Bessent said on the sidelines of a Group of 20 meeting on Sept. 1. Al-Kaabi, who is also the chief executive officer of QatarEnergy, said that Hormuz is a key transit...
Two More Tankers Hit in Strait of Hormuz as Attacks Mount...
posted on: Sep 22, 2026
Two more tankers have been struck while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, with two seafarers injured, extending a string of attacks against commercial shipping through the strategic waterway. UK Maritime Trade Operations said Monday that military authorities reported an inbound tanker was struck by an unknown projectile while transiting the strait. Two crew members suffered minor injuries, but the vessel remained under its own power and was continuing to its next port of call. No environmental impact was reported. Hours later, UKMTO issued a second warning involving an LPG tanker making an outbound transit. The master reported the vessel had been hit by debris from unknown projectiles. All crew were safe, no environmental impact was reported and the tanker continued its voyage. Authorities are investigating both incidents. The latest reports extend a sharp increase in attacks documented by UKMTO over the past week. A Joint Maritime Information Center advisory...
