Houthi Attack on Israel Threatens Red Sea Ceasefire...
posted on: Apr 1, 2026
The Houthi leader Abdul-Malik Al Houthi spoke on television at the commemoration this week of the anniversary of the start of the 2015 Saudi-led military campaign against the Houthis in Yemen. During the speech, Abdul-Malik Al Houthi emphasized that his movement was on the side of Iran and the Palestinians, but that he was reserving the right to intervene. The reservation did not last long. On Saturday, March 28, the Houthis launched a ballistic missile towards southern Israel. Later the same morning, a Houthi drone was intercepted over the Red Sea, possibly by a Barak-8 surface-to-air missile fired from an Israeli Navy Sa’ar Class corvette, before it got anywhere close to Israel. But later a second drone made it as far as Eilat before being intercepted by the Israeli Iron Dome system.

posted on: Apr 1, 2026
The Omani Port of Salalah, located on the Arabian Sea, came under attack on Saturday morning, March 29. The government’s official news agency condemned an Iranian attack, saying it was impinging on its sovereignty while noting that the port was providing a vital lifeline to the region. Two Iranian drones targeted the port, with videos showing one drone striking and damaging one of the large container cranes. There were no vessels at the berth, but the image shows the arms of the crane broken and hanging down, with a section apparently in the water after the attack. The official statement said that one foreign expatriate worker had suffered moderate injuries. It confirmed the damage to one crane and said operations at the port were suspended while a damage assessment was underway. Maersk issued a statement reporting that none of its vessels or cargo had been affected. It said Maersk...
US Plans To Allow Russian Oil Tanker Into Cuba, Easing Crisis...
posted on: Mar 31, 2026
By Eric Martin and Scott Squires Mar 29, 2026 (Bloomberg) –The Trump administration is planning to let a Russian oil tanker dock in Cuba, alleviating an energy crisis triggered when the US prohibited deliveries to the Communist regime. The shipment of crude is expected to be allowed to arrive in coming days, according to two people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified without permission to speak publicly. The Anatoly Kolodkin is carrying around 730,000 barrels of crude. Cuban officials have taken some steps to work with the US in recent days, including allowing fuel for the US Embassy to arrive on the island after earlier saying publicly that they would prevent it because of the broader US near-total blockade, according to the people. As of Sunday afternoon, the ship was approaching the island from Haitian waters as it headed toward Cuba’s western port of Matanzas. The State Department didn’t...
USS Tripoli Arrives In Middle East

By Dan Williams, Kateryna Kadabashy and Dana Khraiche Mar 28, 2026 (Bloomberg) —Houthi militants launched ballistic missiles at Israel on Saturday morning, marking their entry into the month-long Iran war that has already caused chaos in energy markets and killed thousands of people. Some 3,500 sailors and Marines arrived in the region on an amphibious assault ship, according to the US military. Israel continued bombing Iran overnight and on Saturday, while Tehran stepped up strikes across the region and wounded more than a dozen American personnel in an attack on a Saudi base, according to multiple media reports. The Yemen-based Houthis, who are supported by Iran, said they would continue operations until US-Israeli attacks on the Islamic Republic and its proxy militant groups, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, cease. Later Saturday, the Houthis said they carried out a second military operating targets Israel with cruise missiles and drones. Israel’s military said it identified the launch of a missile...
Iran allows Malaysian vessels to pass the Strait of Hormuz...
posted on: Mar 31, 2026
Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on 26 March that he had held discussions with the leaders of Iran, Egypt, Turkey and other regional countries confirming that Malaysian vessels are now being allowed to transit the Strait of Hormuz. In a televised address, Anwar expressed gratitude to Iran’s president, for permitting the passage of Malaysian ships. “We are now in the process of releasing the Malaysian oil tankers and the workers involved so that they may continue their journey home,” he stated. Although Malaysia is an oil-producing nation, it remains highly reliant on shipments through the strait, with around 50% of the country’s oil supply transported via this route. Anwar emphasized that his talks with Iran and other countries were part of broader efforts to facilitate peace in the Middle East. Furthermore, Reuters reports that to mitigate the impact of supply disruptions, Malaysia will maintain oil price subsidies while reducing monthly...

posted on: Mar 31, 2026
UK MAIB has issued an investigation report into an incident where an able seaman was fatally crushed between a reversing trailer and the vessel’s structure during vehicle deck loading operations on a Malta-registered roll-on/roll-off cargo vessel alongside at Purfleet, England. The incident At about 1711 on 13 July 2024, an able seaman was fatally injured on board a Malta registered roll-on/roll-off cargo vessel when he was crushed between the rear of a moving trailer and the vessel’s structure. The vessel was alongside at Purfleet, England, loading and discharging trailers using the terminal’s tugs under the direction of the ship’s crew. One of the two able seamen who were working on the vehicle deck passed behind a trailer while it was being loaded, likely assuming that the tug driver had completed manoeuvring the trailer. Unaware of the able seamen’s position, the tug driver reversed the trailer again to realign it....

A new ocean-going tanker, MT Omera Liberty, has been added to Bangladesh’s fleet, marking a significant expansion of the country’s maritime transport capacity. The vessel, now the largest Bangladeshi-flagged tanker, is set for its maiden voyage on 31 March. Owned by MJL Bangladesh, a concern of East Coast Group, the tanker is 250 metres long and can carry up to 115,000 tonnes of fuel oil, according to data from the Mercantile Marine Office. The vessel was built using advanced, fuel-efficient technology by South Korea’s Daehan Shipbuilding under a contract signed with MJL on 20 July 2023. The project involved an investment of around $73 million. The naming ceremony was held at the shipyard in South Korea on Wednesday, attended by East Coast Group Chairman Azam J Chowdhury, Daehan Shipbuilding Chairman David Kim, Bangladesh Ambassador to South Korea Toufiqul Islam, and MJL Chief Executive Officer (Shipping) Captain Minhazur Reza Chowdhury,...
Iran Drafting Law to Introduce Tolls for Hormuz Transit...
posted on: Mar 30, 2026
(Bloomberg) — The Iranian parliament is working on a draft bill that would impose a fee on vessels seeking safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, according to the semi-official Fars news agency. Fars, citing an unnamed lawmaker, said the plan would be finalized next week, and would legally recognize Iran’s oversight of Hormuz, a vital conduit which connects some of the world’s largest oil and gas producers in the Persian Gulf with the wider world. The narrow waterway has been all but closed since US and Israeli strikes on Iran began almost a month ago, and has become a focal point of the war. Only a trickle of ships have made their way through in the intervening weeks as Iran tightens control, most of them with Iranian or Chinese connections and a handful that have secured safe passage from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Tehran’s legislation would formalize a unilateral...
Houthis Threaten Red Sea Escalation as Iran War Risks Spreading to Second Shipping Chokepoint...
posted on: Mar 30, 2026
Yemeni group warns its “fingers are on the trigger” as Hormuz disruption collides with rising Bab el-Mandeb risk. Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement has issued its clearest warning yet that it could enter the escalating U.S.–Israel–Iran conflict, explicitly threatening action in the Red Sea and tying any intervention to how the war unfolds in the days ahead. In a formal statement released Friday, the Yemeni Armed Forces said their “fingers are on the trigger for direct military intervention,” outlining specific conditions that could prompt attacks—including the use of the Red Sea for U.S. or Israeli military operations and the expansion of alliances against Iran. The language marks a significant escalation from earlier rhetoric. The Houthis warned they “will not allow” the Red Sea to be used as a staging ground for operations against Iran or other regional actors, signaling a potential return to the kind of maritime attacks that disrupted...
How India’s major ports are building the world’s next green maritime frontier...
posted on: Mar 30, 2026
As part of the massive green maritime makeover under the Maritime India Vision 2030, India’s ports have been gradually phasing out fossil-fuel-based harbour tugs in favour of electric ones. When Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal informed the Parliament on Saturday about the latest status of these initiatives, the spotlight was on the Green Tug Transition Programme (GTTP). Under it, Deendayal Port, Jawaharlal Nehru Port, Visakhapatnam Port, and V.O. Chidambaranar Port have already placed work orders for electric tugs. This is said to make India’s four busiest harbours among the first in the world to commit to fully electric harbour towing fleets. Apart from GTTP, the Centre’s five targets under Maritime India Vision 2030 include: Renewable energy to power more than 60 per cent of all port energy needs → 50 per cent of port equipment to be fully electrified → 30 per cent reduction in CO₂ emissions per tonne of...
