Farewell, Khaleda Zia (1945–2025)

Farewell, Khaleda Zia (1945–2025) by Ghulam Suhrawardi Bangladesh lost a historic leader. Sheikh Hasina extended her “heartfelt sympathy” to Khaleda Zia’s family. It’s not just a former prime minister and an opposition leader. Bangladeshis have lost the last veritable giant of the liberation war generation in politics. Begum Khaleda Zia died today in Dhaka. For over four decades, the Awami League has faced its sometimes reluctant, sometimes intensely partisan leadership. In the center of Bangladesh’s political gravity, she has remained: loved by millions and hated by many, but ignored by none. In one sense, she was the Bangladesh of that time. From wealth to grassroots activism, from national unity to persistent conflicts, there was enough to keep hope and disappointment alive together in her story. Khaleda Zia: From Private Life to National Destiny Khaleda Zia was born in Dinajpur in 1945 to an affluent family. She is a politician...

INSV Kaundinya, the Navy’s pioneering stitched sailing vessel built using traditional techniques, is undertaking her maiden overseas voyage to Oman on Monday (December 29, 2025). The vessel, which was flagged off from Porbandar in Gujarat for Muscat, symbolically retraces the historic maritime routes that connected India with the wider Indian Ocean. https://buy.tinypass.com/checkout/template/cacheableShow.html?aid=DC3REpZYpu&templateId=OT38U4RBKIWX&templateVariantId=OTVPZCGC44ARE&offerId=fakeOfferId&experienceId=EXO3X1K28JNQ&iframeId=offer_a675b7434bc0eae2293a-0&displayMode=inline&pianoIdUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fid.tinypass.com%2Fid%2F&widget=template&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thehindu.com%2Fnews%2Fnational%2Finsv-kaundinya-navy-vessel-voyage-india-to-oman-all-you-need-to-know%2Farticle70448690.ece “Unlike contemporary vessels, her wooden planks are stitched together using coconut coir rope and sealed with natural resins, reflecting a shipbuilding tradition once prevalent along India’s coasts and across the Indian Ocean,” the Defence Ministry said. This technology enabled Indian mariners to undertake long-distance voyages to West Asia, Africa and Southeast Asia long before the advent of modern navigation and metallurgy, the officials said. The project was undertaken through a tripartite agreement between the Ministry of Culture, the Indian Navy and Hodi Innovations as part of India’s efforts to rediscover and revive indigenous knowledge systems.

Do you know what an Enclosed Space Register should contain?

Do you know what an Enclosed Space Register should contain?...

posted on: Dec 30, 2025

To prevent accidents during entry into enclosed spaces, the company, working together with the ship, should have a clear and effective safety strategy in place. A key part of this strategy is the Enclosed Space Register, which is prepared for each ship. The register identifies all enclosed spaces on board, outlines the hazards they may present, explains the risks under different conditions, and sets out the safety measures that must be taken before entry. This should also include an assessment of how the atmosphere in these enclosed spaces may be impacted by the contents of the spaces themselves, such as in case a ship stores treated sewage or grey water temporarily in its ballast water tanks, or the contents of connected spaces or adjacent spaces, including cargo, fumigants, fuel oils, slops, oxygen-depleting conditions and the physical or structural arrangement of the space. An Enclosed Space Register means a ship-specific register...

BEIJING, Dec 29 (Reuters) – China opposes any attempt to split territories in Somalia, the foreign ministry in Beijing said on Monday, three days after Israel became the first country to formally recognise the self-declared Republic of Somaliland as an independent state. “No country should encourage or support other countries’ internal separatist forces for its own selfish interests,” ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told reporters at a regular press conference.

In the deep dark of the Mediterranean, more than 2,500 meters below the waves off southern France, a merchant ship from the 1500s has just reappeared on scientists’ screens. The vessel, now known as “Camarat 4,” lies on the seabed almost intact, surrounded by jugs, plates, and metal bars that look as if they were dropped only yesterday. What story does this silent wreck still have to tell? This record-breaking shipwreck, uncovered by the French Navy and studied by France’s Department of Underwater and Submarine Archaeological Research (DRASSM), could change what historians know about trade in the Renaissance Mediterranean. Underwater archaeologist Marine Sadania, quoted in French newspaper Le Monde, has already called it a kind of time capsule preserved far from storms and looters on the surface.

posted on: Dec 27, 2025

By Steve Holland WASHINGTON, Dec 24 (Reuters) – The White House has ordered U.S. military forces to focus almost exclusively on enforcing a “quarantine” of Venezuelan oil for at least the next two months, a U.S. official told Reuters, indicating Washington is currently more interested in using economic rather than military means to pressure Caracas. “While military options still exist, the focus is to first use economic pressure by enforcing sanctions to reach the outcome the White House is looking (for),” the official said on Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity. While President Donald Trump has been publicly coy about his precise aims regarding Venezuela, he has privately pressured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to flee the nation, Reuters has reported. Trump said on Monday it would be smart for Maduro to leave power. “The efforts so far have put tremendous pressure on Maduro, and the belief is that by...

posted on: Dec 27, 2025

Within the P&I claims environment, we routinely assess incidents that show how closely human factors influence maritime incidents, notes Joanna Koukouli, Co-Global Claims Director – SVP/ Managing Director, The American Club.  Although technical issues often receive the most attention, many underlying circumstances relate to the social and interpersonal realities of life at sea. Observations gathered from years of reviewing incidents worldwide work towards understanding these dynamics and supporting a broader industry effort toward safer and more resilient operations. Seafaring requires a unique blend of skill, endurance, and emotional adaptability. Crews live and work in close quarters, often for extended periods, while navigating multicultural communication and long separation from home. From a claims’ perspective, these social dimensions rarely attract attention. However, although they may not be the direct cause of an incident, yet they shape the environment in which decisions are made and tasks are performed. Four main areas, web...

Best known for building tankers and containerships, Hanwha’s Philly yard is suddenly being thrust into America’s nuclear-sub revival. By Heejin Kim SEOUL, Dec 25 (Reuters) – Hanwha’s Philly Shipyard has the capability of building a nuclear-powered submarine for the U.S.Navy, said Alex Wong, global chief strategy officer at Hanwha Group, according to a statement from the South Korean company on Thursday. “The U.S. government’s commitment to nuclear-powered submarine capability, its own and of the allies is very strong,” Wong said during the Hanwha’s media day at the shipyard in Philadelphia on Monday. “We stand ready to fulfil the ability to build those submarines here in Philly when the governments are ready.” South Korea’s shipbuilders are betting big on President Donald Trump’s ambition to revive the struggling U.S. shipbuilding industry. Seoul pledged to invest $150 billion in the U.S. shipbuilding sector in a trade deal signed last month to lower the U.S. tariffs on imports of...

An initial survey refers to a complete inspection conducted before a ship is put into service, encompassing all items relating to a particular certificate. This ensures that the relevant requirements are complied with and that these items are satisfactory for the intended service of the ship.

posted on: Dec 26, 2025

The NGO Shipbreaking Platform urges the EU to remove all Turkish yards using the landing method, continue excluding Indian beaching yards, and invest in recycling capacity aligned with circularity and decarbonization goals. The European Commission has opened a consultation on the 15th update of the EU List of ship recycling facilities. According to NGO Shipbreaking Platform, while the removal of the Dörtel yard in Turkey, due to unsafe dismantling practices and lack of pollution containment, is welcomed, it is considered an insufficient response to widespread ongoing violations. Serious safety and environmental concerns persist, including recent worker fatalities at EU-approved Turkish yards. The NGO warns that approving facilities outside the EU that would not meet EU standards creates a damaging double standard. At the same time, no Indian yards have been added to the list, reflecting the EU’s rejection of beaching, a method that fails to contain pollutants and is banned...
