CMA CGM Doubles Female Seafarer Numbers in First Year of She Sails Initiative...
posted on: Dec 15, 2025
French shipping giant CMA CGM has successfully doubled its female seafaring workforce within just one year of launching its She Sails program, marking significant progress in an industry that has traditionally struggled with gender diversity. The program, launched in December 2024, has increased the number of women seafarers aboard CMA CGM vessels from 200 to 403 by the end of 2025, representing a 101% increase. Building on this momentum, the company has now set an ambitious target of 1,000 women at sea by the end of 2030. “In just one year, our program has proven its effectiveness: the results exceed our expectations,” said Christine Cabau Woehrel, the Group’s Executive Vice President in charge of Operations and Assets. “More women are accessing key positions, their career paths are accelerating, their confidence is growing, and our teams are gaining in both diversity and performance.” The program’s success has been supported by...
Tanker Operator Quits Russian Trade After Suspected Ukrainian Strike...
posted on: Dec 15, 2025
After one of its vessels was hit and damaged in a suspected Ukrainian attack, Turkish tanker owner Besiktas Shipping has decided to quit all trade with Russia. The business decision suggests that Ukraine’s covert and overt strikes have created a strong perception of ongoing risk to Russia-linked energy shipping, and not just in the Black Sea. On the night of November 27-28, the Besiktas-owned tanker Mersin was at anchor off the coast of Senegal when flooding occurred in the engine room. The Senegalese Navy responded to the scene and the crew were all safely rescued, but photos showed the tanker’s stern riding low in the water. Besiktas later reported that Mersin had been struck by four “external explosions.” AIS data provided by Pole Star Global shows that the vessel had previously called at multiple Russian ports in the Black Sea, including some as recent as August. The attack on the Mersin occurred at almost the same...
Thordon Bearings wins 2025 Motorship award for T-BOSS® Sterntubeless ship design...
posted on: Dec 15, 2025
Thordon Bearings has won the 2025 Motorship Award for T-BOSS, the ship design which replaces a traditional sterntube with a space that allows inspection and maintenance of a seawater-lubricated bearing and seal arrangement from inside the ship. The award, presented at the Motorship Propulsion & Future Fuels Conference in Hamburg, Germany, on the 25th of November, recognizes innovative partnerships that result in low-emissions maritime solutions. T-BOSS – the Thordon – Blue Ocean Stern Space – was developed by a consortium of maritime partners consisting of ABS, Thordon Bearings, Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions, CSSC-SDARI (Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute), and the National Technical University of Athens. The innovative solution replaces the conventional sterntube and cooling tank with a dry chamber housing a single seawater-lubricated, non-metallic Thordon COMPAC bearing. In addition to minimizing shipbuilding costs with the removal of the sterntube and oil sealing system, the design significantly reduces operating...

Grounded MSC Baltic III’s Hull Further Compromised After Winter Storms...
posted on: Dec 14, 2025
Mike Schuler The grounded container ship MSC Baltic III has sustained significant additional structural damage following severe weather that battered its position in Cedar Cove, Newfoundland, earlier this month, according to assessments by Canadian Coast Guard and salvage crews. The 207-meter vessel, which ran aground on February 15, 2025, after losing power in severe winter weather near Wild Cove in the Bay of Islands, now shows noticeable changes in the condition of steel plate buckling on both the starboard and port sides. The stern portion of the vessel has also settled visibly lower in the water, while small salvage equipment onboard was found damaged during inspections conducted on December 7 and 8. All 20 crew members were safely rescued by the Royal Canadian Air Force via helicopter shortly after the initial grounding. The ship was carrying heavy fuel oil and marine gas oil, as well as approximately 470 containers—many empty, with...

US forces stormed cargo ship travelling from China to Iran: Report...
posted on: Dec 14, 2025
United States forces raided a cargo ship travelling from China to Iran last month, according to the Wall Street Journal, in the latest reported instance of increasingly aggressive maritime tactics by the administration of US President Donald Trump. Unnamed officials told the newspaper that US military personnel boarded the ship several hundred miles from Sri Lanka, according to the report on Friday. It was the first time in several years US forces had intercepted cargo travelling from China to Iran, according to the newspaper. The operation took place in November, weeks before US forces seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela earlier this week, citing sanctions violations. It was another action Washington has not taken in years. US Indo-Pacific Command did not immediately confirm the report. An official told the newspaper that they seized material “potentially useful for Iran’s conventional weapons”. However, the official noted the seized items were...
All private ICDs to halt export cargo, empty container handling from tomorrow...
posted on: Dec 14, 2025
Nineteen private inland container depots (ICDs) supporting the Chattogram port are set to suspend handling of export cargo and empty containers from tomorrow morning (11 December), in protest over off-dock owners attempting to introduce a revised tariff. Each depot has notified its clients that from tomorrow, it will no longer be able to load export cargo or handle empty containers. Owners say they cannot continue operations under the existing charges, which they have not been allowed to revise. Confirming the matter, Bangladesh Inland Container Depots Association (Bicda) Secretary General Ruhul Amin Sikder said the association has issued no organisational decision. “Individual depot owners have communicated their inability to serve clients. They have also informed shipping lines,” he said. “The last time the tariff was increased was in 2016. Over the past nine years, labour wages have gone up several times, but our tariff has remained unchanged. It has become...
U.S. Seizure of Shadow Fleet Tanker ‘Skipper’ Ends Years-Long Sanctions-Evasion Run...
posted on: Dec 13, 2025
The U.S. Coast Guard seized the very large oil tanker SKIPPER off Venezuela’s coast on Wednesday, culminating a three-year enforcement saga involving Iranian oil smuggling networks and sanctions evasion. The vessel, originally designated as ADISA when sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury in November 2022, was part of a sprawling international oil smuggling operation that funneled revenue to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) and Hezbollah. According to Treasury documents, ADISA was controlled by Triton Navigation Corp., a subsidiary of Centrum Maritime, both part of an intricate web of shell companies managed by Ukrainian national Viktor Artemov. The Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated the vessel under Executive Order 13224, which targets terrorists and those providing support to terrorist organizations. “The individuals running this illicit network use a web of shell companies and fraudulent tactics including document falsification to obfuscate the origins of Iranian oil, sell it on the international market, and evade...
Shipboard Firefighting Standards Under Scrutiny as Vessel Complexity Strains Crew Training Capacity...
posted on: Dec 13, 2025
With lithium battery fires, alternative fuels, and automated systems reshaping maritime fire risk, industry leaders push for updated response protocols When a container ship carrying electric vehicles caught fire in the North Atlantic last year, killing one crew member and forcing the abandonment of the vessel, it underscored a troubling reality: modern cargo is creating fire scenarios that traditional shipboard firefighting training never anticipated. Lithium-ion battery fires can burn hotter and spread faster than conventional cargo fires. They can reignite days after being suppressed. They release toxic gases, particularly hydrogen, and produce oxygen making fixed firefighting systems ineffective. And they require suppression techniques, like controlled flooding or specialized extinguishing agents, that crews may have never practiced. As the maritime industry pivots toward decarbonization, alternative fuels, and electric propulsion, fire safety experts warn that training standards, equipment specifications, and emergency response protocols are struggling to keep pace with evolving risks....
NTSB: Finding Loose Wire in Dali’s Switchboard Took a Month...
posted on: Dec 13, 2025
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has reported the probable cause of the container ship strike that took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge: a loose wire buried inside a switchboard. The agency has now released its complete report, detailing the findings of its forensic team – and the challenging, monthlong effort to find one loose wire on a 10,000-TEU boxship. In the early hours of March 26, 2024, as the container ship Dali got under way outbound from the port of Baltimore, a high voltage breaker for a transformer tripped and shut down the ship’s auxiliary power. This cut out the vessel’s propulsion and steering, leaving Dali helpless and adrift. Efforts to restart were unsuccessful. Without a tug to assist, Dali drifted into a pier supporting the Francis Scott Key Bridge and destroyed it, collapsing the structure and killing six people. After the accident, the National Transportation Safety Board began an intensive effort to determine the cause of the...
Britannia Club: Key trends on bulk carrier claims...
posted on: Dec 13, 2025
Bulk carriers make up more than 40% of the world’s fleet capacity, making it essential to closely monitor trends and recurring issues associated with these cargo types, Britannia Club highlighted in its ‘Bulk Carrier Claims Review 2025′. As explained, the Club has reviewed claims data of the years 2021 – 2024 for all bulk carriers carrying bulk or breakbulk cargo. This period was focused on to avoid the distorting impact of the COVID pandemic and to obtain the most recent claims data available. According to Britannia, results showed that the most common claim types are: shortage physical damage contamination wet damage Credit: Britannia Club Shortage Shortage claims remain a substantial issue, with around 50% of registered claims relating to shortages. It is perhaps unsurprising that paper shortage claims occur. The accuracy of measuring the quantity of bulk cargo loaded, transported, and subsequently discharged is imperfect. The two main methods used, draft...
