Do you know which major maritime accidents led to major regulations?...
posted on: Sep 26, 2026
Throughout history, major accidents have been the catalyst for significant regulatory changes. The same applies to the maritime industry, where some of the most catastrophic incidents have led to new regulations aimed at preventing similar tragedies in the future. The importance of learning from tragedy Accidents at sea occur for various reasons. However, a well-structured regulatory framework not only enhances safety during emergencies but also helps prevent incidents entirely. Unfortunately, the maritime industry often responds to disasters rather than preventing them. While adopting regulations based on past incidents is valuable, a more proactive approach to maritime safety could be far more effective in saving lives and protecting ecosystems. Despite this reactive pattern, past accidents have resulted in some of the most iconic and widely applied regulations. RMS Titanic (1912) and the birth of SOLAS The sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912 led to the establishment of the International...
On World Maritime Day, IMO Highlights Need to Put Rules Into Practice...
posted on: Sep 25, 2026
Both this year and next, the International Maritime Organization is focusing its World Maritime Day message on an issue of growing concern: getting its hard-won regulations into use on the waterfront, everywhere that ships go. It’s not enough to pass a convention, even one as useful as SOLAS – each IMO rule also has to be implemented in each member state. That means translating the convention into national law, then training up officials to put it into practice, then using it for enforcement. The degree of compliance varies, and while IMO can’t police its member states, it can help them to get better. Since 2016, IMO has implemented a mandatory audit scheme (IMSAS) to check up on how well its members are complying with IMO instruments. So far, 168 member states – all but a handful – have been audited. The results, according to IMO, are revealing. IMO’s advisory...
Vessel ‘on fire and adrift’ after deadly attack in Strait of Hormuz...
posted on: Sep 25, 2026
Update: a trade union in India, the Forward Seamen’s Union of India (FSUI) has named the crew member killed in an attack on bulk carrier Cape Dao in the Strait of Hormuz and described the attack in greater detail. Posting on social media platform X, with video of the vessel with smoke billowing from it and a photo of an injured crew member, the FSUI account said “Another Indian seafarer killed. Wiper Suraj Yadav of Deoria, Uttar Pradesh, is dead after MV Cape Dao was attacked today while sailing toward India. 28 crew on board, 20 of them Indian. FSUI indicated that the vessel was struck by “two torpedoes”, one port side on the ship’s C-deck accommodation block and another port side into the hull, hitting the engine room. “Assurances mean nothing. Innocent civilian seafarers are being slaughtered in and around Hormuz. FSUI demands immediate accountability, safe passage, and...
Traders Push for Discounts for Venezuelan Oil as Shipping Costs Soar...
posted on: Sep 25, 2026
HOUSTON (Reuters) – Global oil trading firms Vitol and Trafigura are pushing for steeper discounts on Venezuelan crude oil as rising freight rates shrink their margins, five sources familiar with the matter said. The two merchant houses have been among the biggest winners in a race to control Venezuela’s crude flows since the US captured then-President Nicolas Maduro in January and began pushing to reactivate the country’s oil sector. They now sell and ship more than half of the OPEC member’s exports, and the negotiations for cheaper prices highlight the challenges of operating in Venezuela’s volatile energy sector, which until recently was under severe US sanctions. Sale prices for the nation’s flagship Merey heavy crude grade have recovered steadily this year from hefty discounts forced by the sanctions until the end of 2025. Punishment clauses, such as imposing extra fees to load tankers in countries with security risks, have also disappeared...
Captain Killed in Russia’s Latest Attack on Merchant Shipping...
posted on: Sep 25, 2026
Ukraine’s State Border Guard Service and its Ports Authority are reporting that the master of a cargo ship was killed in an attack by Russia on September 23. It is part of the ongoing nightly offensive as both sides target shipping and other critical infrastructure in the war that has now passed four and a half years. The vessel was not identified, but reports said it was near the Greater Odesa port complex when it was struck. The master of the vessel was reported to have been killed by the impact. A fire also began on the ship, which was registered in Antigua and Barbuda. The Border Service dispatched rescue boats to the ship, but reports the efforts were complicated by heavy smoke and high temperatures. It said the fire had damaged parts of the superstructure and the vessel was drifting. The Border Service was able to evacuate 15...

World Maritime Day: Bangladesh Must Put Its Marine Academy Back at the Center of Maritime Education by Ghulam Suhrawardi World Maritime Day 2026 and the case for a coherent national training strategy On World Maritime Day, International Maritime Organization Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez delivered a deceptively simple message: international rules improve shipping only when countries enforce them. “Seafarers come first. Always,” he said, placing the people who operate ships at the center of the IMO’s 2026–27 theme, “From Policy to Practice: Powering Maritime Excellence.” Two days earlier, President Donald Trump had offered a very different maritime message at the United Nations General Assembly. He branded the IMO’s emissions framework a global carbon tax. That will lead to shipping rates increasing by 10-20 percent. Another speaker highlighted the importance of effective execution, while the other pointed to how far-reaching an international framework can be. Bangladesh needs to address both. As a trading...
The 16th EU Ship Recycling List: A test of regulatory consistency...
posted on: Sep 24, 2026
The forthcoming 16th edition of the European List of Ship Recycling Facilities could become an important moment not only for the Indian ship recycling industry, but also for the credibility of the European Union’s own regulatory framework, explained Rohit Agarwal, Chief Executive Officer at GUIDESHIP CONSULTING SERVICES LLP. If Indian facilities that have entered the prescribed European assessment process, undergone inspections and demonstrated compliance with the applicable requirements are ultimately not included, the question will extend beyond the commercial interests of two ship recycling yards. It will raise a broader issue about consistency, transparency, equal treatment and the predictability of rules-based regulation. The European Union has established a formal mechanism through Regulation (EU) No. 1257/2013 for ship recycling facilities located outside the EU to seek inclusion on the European List. Article 15 establishes the application framework for third-country facilities, while Article 16 provides for the establishment and updating of...
OCIMF updates guidance on safety-critical equipment and spare parts...
posted on: Sep 24, 2026
The Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) has published an updated edition of its Safety Critical Equipment and Spare Parts Guidance, urging shipping companies to take a proactive, risk-based approach to identifying and maintaining equipment whose failure could lead to hazardous situations or compromise a vessel’s ability to respond to an emergency. The guidance is intended to support companies in developing and maintaining their Safety Management Systems (SMS) in accordance with the International Maritime Organization’s International Safety Management (ISM) Code. It replaces OCIMF’s previous edition, published in 2018, and provides a framework for identifying, documenting and maintaining safety-critical equipment and the spare parts required to keep it operational. OCIMF defines safety-critical equipment as an individual piece of equipment, control system or protection device where a single-point failure could result in a hazardous situation, cause an accident or affect the status of duplicated equipment and reduce system redundancy. Safety-critical spare...
China Tests New 83-Mile Inland Canal to Expand Southeast Asian Trade...
posted on: Sep 24, 2026
China is nearing the official opening of a new 83.4-mile inland canal designed to improve access to the trade markets of Southeast Asia. The first trial navigation of the full canal was completed by a Chinese patrol boat ahead of a planned September opening of the Pinglu Canal. The state project, which is costing an estimated $10.3 billion, runs from the Ping River estuary in Hengzhou and follows the Qingjian River to the Beibu Gulf. Previously, goods manufactured in the region had to detour through the Pearl River Delta to reach the Guangzhou Port. It is China’s first major river-to-sea canal project planned and executed at the national level since 1949 and the founding of the People’s Republic. It is seen as a major component of the Belt and Road Initiative. Organizers highlight that the canal will shorten inland waterway transport by about 560 kilometers (nearly 350 miles). They...
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...
