GMS Sees U.S. Recycling License as Blueprint to Retire Shadow Fleet Vessels...
posted on: Jul 11, 2026
Global ship recycler Global Marketing Systems (GMS) says a recent U.S. government license authorizing the recycling of four sanctioned vessels could provide a long-sought legal pathway for retiring aging ships operating in the so-called shadow fleet, potentially reducing safety and environmental risks while reinforcing sanctions enforcement. Speaking during a recent Capital Link Expert Talks webcast, GMS Founder and CEO Dr. Anil Sharma said the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) approved the first licensed recycling transaction involving sanctioned vessels earlier this year after months of discussions with U.S. authorities. According to Sharma, the approval represents more than a one-off transaction involving four container ships. Instead, he argues it establishes a precedent for how governments could permanently remove sanctioned vessels from service through tightly controlled, case-by-case recycling transactions. “The significance of the approval is not limited to the recycling of four ships,” Sharma said. “It creates an important precedent for how...

posted on: Jul 11, 2026
Hapag-Lloyd has signed an agreement with Inmarsat Maritime to deploy the NexusWave connectivity platform across its global fleet, following onboard trials that confirmed the service could support the carrier’s long-term digital strategy. A customer of Inmarsat for almost 25 years, Hapag-Lloyd began evaluating NexusWave in 2024 as part of its Strategy 2030 programme.

Container collapse at Jawaharlal Nehru Port leaves one dead and another injured...
posted on: Jul 11, 2026
One person has died and another sustained serious injuries after cargo containers collapsed from a vessel at India’s Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNP) on 6 July. The incident occurred at approximately 03:30 local time as the port area was affected by heavy rainfall and strong winds. According to the authorities, eight empty containers had been stacked on a vessel berthed at JNP’s Nhava Sheva Freeport Terminal. Strong winds reportedly caused four of the containers to fall onto two nearby trucks, temporarily suspending operations at the terminal. The two victims were reportedly on one of the trucks, assisting with the loading and unloading of containers from other vessels using a quay crane, when they became trapped beneath one of the collapsed containers. As reported, a 19-year-old man was pronounced dead upon arrival at the Indira Gandhi Rural Government Hospital in Uran, while a second worker, aged 30, was transferred to Medicover...

The Engine Room Problem And Why Machinery Failure Remains Shipping’s Dominant Risk...
posted on: Jul 10, 2026
By Paul Morgan (gCaptain) – Every year, Allianz Commercial publishes its Safety and Shipping Review, and every year the shipping industry’s commentators reach for the same headline: the long-term decline in total losses, the improving safety record, the falling incident numbers. All of that is true, and none of it should be dismissed. But the 2026 edition of the review, published against a backdrop of war in the Persian Gulf and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, contains a finding that deserves considerably more attention than it typically receives. Machinery damage or failure was the cause of more than half of all reported shipping incidents globally in 2025. Not fire, not collision, not grounding. Machinery. It has been the dominant cause of shipping incidents for the entire past decade, and the financial consequences of that dominance are getting worse, not better. The raw numbers, drawn from Lloyd’s List Intelligence casualty...

In his submission to the Council, IMO Secretary-General Mr. Arsenio Dominguez said: “By knowingly accepting extraordinary personal risk...
The Corinth Canal: The Timeless Engineering Marvel of Greece...
posted on: Jul 10, 2026
The Corinth Canal, one of the most important infrastructure works of the modern Greek State, was inaugurated on July 25, 1893. Many believe that the canal changed maritime activity forever. It connects the Ionian and Aegean seas, making cargo and passenger ships between the two seas much faster. It is also known as the “Isthmus of Corinth” (Greek: Ισθμός της Κoρίνθου), which is actually a narrow land bridge that connects the Peloponnese peninsula to the rest of Greece’s mainland near the city of Corinth. The terms isthmus and land bridge are related, with isthmus having a broader meaning. The Isthmus was known in ancient Greece as the landmark that separated the Peloponnese from mainland Greece. Construction works started in 1882 and the canal was inaugurated by then Prime Minister Sotirios Sotiropoulos, but it was envisioned and completed by his predecessor Harilaos Trikoupis whose term had ended only two months before that date. Before the canal...
