India races to move 13 ships out of Hormuz
posted on: Jun 3, 2026
New Delhi: India has launched an emergency operation to move 13 Indian-flagged commercial vessels out of the Strait of Hormuz as tensions continue to simmer across the Gulf region, officials said on Friday. The operation comes amid growing concerns over maritime security in one of the world’s most critical energy corridors. At the same time, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has advised Indian nationals to avoid travel to Iran and urged those already in the country to leave with embassy assistance. Officials said the government has activated a coordinated, multi-agency response involving the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, the MEA, Indian diplomatic missions and maritime stakeholders to safeguard Indian seafarers and commercial assets in the region. Priority operation under way Opesh Kumar Sharma, Director at the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, said authorities are prioritising the safe passage of 13 Indian-flagged vessels currently operating in or...
Ukrainian Drones Strike Port, Oil Depot In Southern Russia...
posted on: Jun 3, 2026
May 30 (Reuters) – Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russia’s oil infrastructure overnight, damaging a tanker and an oil refinery in Taganrog and striking an oil depot in Armavir, Russian regional officials and Ukrainian military said on Saturday. Rostov regionalgovernor Yury Slyusar said on Telegram that fires on the tanker and in the port of Taganrog – a city of about 240,000 – had been extinguished, with no oil spill reported. Two people were injured, he said. The city’s mayor, Svetlana Kambulova, said a local state of emergency, introduced on May 27, had been extended. Russia’s Defence Ministry said that its forces had downed 127 drones overnight. In the neighboring Krasnodar region, authorities in Armavir, which has a population of 185,000, said a fire at an oil depot in the city’s industrial zone had been brought under control and that there were no injuries. Rostov governor Slyusar said that almost 50 drones had been downed in his region, with attacks...
StormGeo and Alfa Laval link shipboard sensor data with voyage intelligence to strengthen fleet decision-making...
posted on: Jun 3, 2026
Shipowners have invested heavily in vessel connectivity and onboard monitoring systems, yet many still struggle to convert data into operational value. A new integration between StormGeo and Alfa Laval aims to bridge that gap by combining real-time equipment data with voyage optimisation, emissions reporting and fleet performance tools through a single digital environment. Maritime digitalisation is often measured by the quality of decisions that data can support rather than the volume of information collected onboard. That challenge sits at the heart of a new partnership between StormGeo and Alfa Laval, which will integrate sensor data from shipboard energy consumers into StormGeo’s Voyage Intelligence platform. The objective is to give operators a clearer picture of vessel performance through real-time access to engine, hull and operational data. The companies say the integration combines hardware installation, data collection, analytics, performance advice and technical support within a single offering. By connecting equipment data...
HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and BAR Technologies target wider adoption of wind propulsion across future fleets...
posted on: Jun 3, 2026
Shipowners exploring fuel-saving technologies often face challenges integrating new systems into vessel designs. A new agreement between HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and BAR Technologies aims to make wind-assisted propulsion a more practical option for newbuild projects by incorporating WindWings® into ship design from the outset. Which technologies can deliver emissions reductions without disrupting commercial operations? Wind-assisted propulsion remains one of the options attracting growing attention, particularly as fuel costs and environmental regulations place greater pressure on fleet performance. Against that backdrop, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and BAR Technologies have agreed to collaborate on the technical and commercial development of WindWings®, BAR Technologies’ rigid wing sail system. The agreement seeks to integrate WindWings® into vessel design at an earlier stage. Engineers from both companies will work on connecting the WindWings® control system with HD Hyundai Heavy Industries’ integrated vessel control platform and establish methodologies for verifying performance in service. Better...
Vizhinjam Becomes Fastest Indian Port To Handle 2 Million TEUs After Starting Operations...
posted on: Jun 3, 2026
Vizhinjam International Seaport in Kerala has crossed the landmark milestone of handling 2 million twenty-foot equivalent units within just 18 months of commencing operations, becoming the fastest Indian port to achieve the feat. The port, operated by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd for the Government of Kerala, commenced trial operations in July 2024 and was dedicated to the nation by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in May 2025. Vizhinjam crossed the 1 million TEU mark in August 2025, underlining the rapid operational scale-up achieved within a short span of time. Since commencing operations, the port has handled over 950 vessels, including 67 Ultra Large Container Vessels, each measuring nearly 400 metres in length.

Located just 10 nautical...
Oman Warns of Suspected Floating Mine in Hormuz, Reinforcing Shipping Industry Fears...
posted on: Jun 2, 2026
Oman’s Maritime Security Centre (MSC) on Saturday issued a navigation warning after a floating object suspected to be a naval mine was sighted within Omani territorial waters near the Strait of Hormuz, marking the clearest indications yet of a risk maritime industry groups have warned about for months. The MSC said the object was spotted west of the Inshore Traffic Zone in the Strait of Hormuz and urged seafarers, fishermen, and commercial vessels to exercise extreme caution while navigating in the area. Authorities advised mariners to maintain a safe distance from suspicious objects and report them immediately. Omani authorities have not confirmed the object is a mine, nor have they attributed it to any state or actor. The warning specifically described it as a “floating object suspected to be a floating mine.” Video Unpaused Still, the alert arrives amid increasingly urgent warnings from both military officials and shipping organizations that...
Shipping connectivity enters a new operational phase...
posted on: Jun 2, 2026
For years, vessel connectivity served a limited operational purpose. Communications largely revolved around e-mail, emergency voice traffic and periodic data exchange with shore teams. That picture is changing as low earth orbit satellite services gain traction across commercial fleets. Jimmy Grewal, Managing Director of Elcome, said modern broadband connectivity gives shipowners the ability to rethink how vessels interact with shore operations and onboard systems. Speaking during an interview with the Digital Ship on maritime digitalisation and connectivity, Grewal described LEO services such as Starlink and Amazon Leo as an opportunity to support more integrated operations at sea. “Traditionally, connectivity has not played an integral role in operations beyond basic communications, e-mail and emergency voice,” Grewal said. “With the advent of satellite broadband services like Starlink and Amazon Leo, there is now the opportunity for systems on board a ship and the processes that the crew follow to be enhanced with...
U.S. Forces Disable Commercial Vessel, Showing Iran Blockade Still Active Despite Peace Talks...
posted on: Jun 2, 2026
U.S. forces disabled a commercial vessel in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday after its crew allegedly ignored repeated warnings and continued toward an Iranian port in violation of the U.S.-enforced maritime blockade, underscoring that enforcement actions remain firmly in place despite signs of diplomatic progress between Washington and Tehran. In a statement released Saturday, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said a U.S. aircraft fired a Hellfire missile into the engine room of the Gambia-flagged cargo vessel Lian Star on May 29 after the ship failed to comply with more than 20 warnings from U.S. forces. “CENTCOM forces observed M/V Lian Star transiting international waters toward an Iranian port on the Gulf of Oman and issued more than 20 warnings while informing the vessel it was in violation of the U.S. blockade,” the command said. The strike disabled the vessel and prevented it from continuing its voyage, according to CENTCOM. No information...
USCG Catches Four Chinese Stowaways on Barge Arriving From Florida...
posted on: Jun 2, 2026
Last weekend, the U.S. Coast Guard busted a group of eight stowaways on a barge in San Juan’s harbor, the latest in a string of interdictions on tug-and-tow traffic to Puerto Rico. This time was different in the unusual composition of the would-be immigrant group and the last port of call: the group was on board a vessel that had departed from the continental United States, not a foreign country. On May 22, Sector San Juan received a report from CBP’s Air and Marine Operations Center, which reported that possible stowaways had been spotted aboard the barge tow connected to the U.S.-flagged tug Southern Dawn. AIS data provided by Pole Star Global shows that Southern Dawn’s port of departure was Jacksonville, Florida. She left on May 16 and got under way for Puerto Rico, maintaining a steady speed of 7-8 knots throughout the voyage and making no foreign...
India Secures Release of 10 Crewmembers Detained for 10 Months in Iran...
posted on: Jun 1, 2026
India’s Directorate General of Shipping is reporting that 10 Indian nationals detained in Iran for the past 10 months have been released and repatriated. The individuals were working aboard a small product tanker seized by Iran as part of its crackdown on fuel smuggling in the region. The Directorate General reports the release is the result of a sustained diplomatic effort involving the ministries for shipping and external affairs, the shipping company and its managers, and the Indian embassy in Tehran. It reports that the crewmembers had been detained, arrested, and imprisoned in Iran. The product tanker Harbour Phoenix (7,628 dwt) was stopped by the Iranians in July 2025. The vessel, which was built in 1994, is managed out of the UAE and registered in Palau. It was accused of smuggling fuel with the Iranian Border Police and the Iranian Navy, saying they worked jointly as part of the...
Three Arrested, One Dead in Cocaine Bust at Mundra Port...
posted on: Jun 1, 2026
The Indian Coast Guard and partner agencies have seized about 115 kilos of cocaine from a boxship, a small bust by global standards but a significant development for India. The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) detected an inbound shipment aboard the container ship Europe (IMO 9285988) through a tip-off. When the ship arrived at an anchorage off Mundra Port last weekend, the Indian Coast Guard and the ATS were waiting. Under cover of darkness, they watched from a launch as two crewmembers aboard the Europe threw a series of bags over the side. Five bags were recovered, each containing kilo bricks of powder and electronic tracking devices. The substance tested positive for cocaine. On boarding the Europe, the officers arrested one foreign citizen who was allegedly involved in the smuggling attempt. One additional crewmember jumped over the side and is believed to be dead, officials said. The ATS has identified...
U.S. Strikes Iranian Drone Launcher After Attack on Merchant Shipping...
posted on: Jun 1, 2026
On Wednesday, U.S. forces conducted a limited strike on Iranian territory in response to Iranian actions in the Strait of Hormuz, the second such strike since the beginning of the week. The incident illustrates the continued high risk to shipping in the waterway, even as negotiations move forwards. Iranian forces launched four one-way attack drones at merchant vessels in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal. U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy fighter jets responded and shot down all four before they could reach their targets. Navy F/A-18 Hornet fighters proceeded to destroy the Iranian ground control unit for the drone launches – located near Bandar Abbas – before it could threaten shipping any further, the officials said. Officials emphasized that the drones were a threat to commercial traffic, and that the actions were “measured, purely defensive, and intended to maintain the ceasefire.”...
