UN Warns Hormuz Crisis Will Leave Lasting Economic Scars Despite Shipping Recovery...
posted on: Jul 2, 2026
The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz may ease immediate pressure on global shipping and energy markets, but the economic fallout from more than 100 days of disruption will continue to weigh heavily on vulnerable countries long after vessel traffic returns to normal, according to a new report from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). The report argues that while the resumption of shipping through one of the world’s most important maritime chokepoints is an important milestone, lower oil prices alone will not erase the inflationary pressures, higher transport costs and food security risks created during the prolonged disruption. “The reopening paves the way for recovery,” UNCTAD said. “But for vulnerable economies, the path can be longer, uneven and costly.” According to UNCTAD, daily ship transits through the Strait of Hormuz have begun recovering following the announcement of an agreement to reopen the waterway after traffic...

Shipping’s Aging Global Fleet Is Raising Safety Risks...
posted on: Jul 1, 2026
The world’s merchant fleet is getting older, and according to Allianz Commercial, that trend is creating mounting safety risks as shipowners struggle to renew fleets amid shipyard shortages, geopolitical disruption and mounting regulatory demands. In its Safety and Shipping Review 2026, Allianz said the average age of the global shipping fleet reached 23 years in 2025, while vessels more than 20 years old now make up nearly one-quarter of the world’s containership fleet—the highest share in decades. The insurer warns that the aging profile of the fleet is no longer simply an operational concern but an emerging safety issue. Video Muted “Older vessels can pose significant safety risks at sea, with vessels over 20 years old accounting for over half of all safety incidents,” Allianz said. “As ships age, the likelihood of incidents increases due to structural, mechanical, and technological obsolescence, creating risks for crew, cargo, and the environment.” The...

The Chattogram Port Protection Committee today (28 June) placed a five-point demand, including an immediate halt to the government’s initiative to lease out the port’s New Mooring Container Terminal (NCT) and Chittagong Container Terminal (CCT) to domestic or foreign operators. At a press conference at the Chattogram Press Club, leaders of the committee said the terminals should remain under the direct ownership and management of the Chittagong Port Authority (CPA), describing them as strategic national assets. Reading out a written statement, the committee’s convener, Delwar Majumdar, said, “Chattogram Port handles around 90% of the country’s import and export trade, making its ownership and operational control a matter of national security, sovereignty and state interest rather than merely a commercial issue.” He alleged that the government is in the final stage of negotiations with Dubai-based port operator DP World to hand over the operation of NCT under a public-private partnership...

Major amendments to the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code) are set to take effect on 1 July 2028. Since 2022, the International Maritime Organization (IMO), through its Sub-Committee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers (CCC), has been undertaking a comprehensive revision of the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code). The review reflects the maritime industry’s growing adoption of environmentally friendly technologies and increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The resulting amendments were approved at the 111th session of the IMO’s Marine Safety Committee (MSC 111) in May 2026 and are expected entry into force on 1 July 2028. Once adopted, the amendments will introduce updated requirements for the construction and equipment of ships transporting liquefied gases in bulk. The amendments cover a variety of issues, including: Clarification of the...
Traffic slows significantly following container vessel attack in Hormuz...
posted on: Jul 1, 2026
Tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remained below recent highs on 26 June according to ship-tracking data, hours after Iran fired on a vessel near Oman. The attack prompted the IMO to temporarily suspend its voluntary scheme to help evacuate stranded vessels and seafarers from the Gulf. Evergreen Marine said one of its vessels was struck by an “unknown object” near Oman. Meanwhile, U.S. officials told Reuters the ship had been fired on by Iran. However, based ship tracking data from LSEG and MarineTraffic, several oil tankers continued transiting the waterway, including at least four tankers entering the Gulf to load crude and a tanker carrying 2 million barrels exiting via the Omani side of the strait, Reuters reports. According to Kpler, tanker traffic fell to 13 transits in both directions on Friday, down from 24 on Thursday and 27 on Wednesday. Meanwhile, AXSMarine said overall vessel traffic has yet...

Traffic Through Strait of Hormuz Slows After Attack on Ship...
posted on: Jun 30, 2026
By Jonathan Saul LONDON, June 26 (Reuters) – Fewer vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz on Friday than earlier this week, hours after a Taiwanese-operated ship was fired on by Iran, ship tracking data showed. The U.N. shipping agency temporarily paused its voluntary scheme to evacuate hundreds of stranded ships and thousands of seafarers from the Gulf after the ship was damaged in the attack close to the Omani side of the waterway. Nevertheless, at least four tankers including three very large crude carriers, which can each carry a maximum of 2 million barrels of oil, entered the Gulf to load oil, ship tracking data from LSEG and MarineTraffic showed on Friday. And two separate supertankers entered the strait to load Iranian oil, separate shipping data showed, while a separate tanker exited the strait with 2 million barrels of oil via the Omani side of Hormuz, analysis from Kpler showed. Oil buyers have hoped to secure stocks after...

posted on: Jun 30, 2026
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) issued its Marine Incident Annual Report for 2025, noting that it received a total of 4,174 marine incident reports from foreign-flagged vessels (FFVs), regulated Australian vessels (RAVs) and domestic commercial vessels (DCVs), along with 452 marine safety concerns. The reduction in reported marine incidents in 2025, compared to 5,625 in 2024, is primarily due to a change in reporting classifications introduced on 1 January 2025, under which defect reports for RAVs and FFVs are no longer recorded as marine incidents, AMSA noted. Approximately 1,272 defect reports that would previously have been included were excluded from the 2025 figures. Overview 2025 4,174 marine incidents were reported including 1,229 involving DCVs. Passenger vessels continue to show a good reporting culture, accounting for almost half (46%) of all reported DCV incidents though comprising only 9% of the fleet. Larger DCVs (12m and over) made up 67% of...

Arsenio Dominguez, Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), gave a press conference on 26 June on the Strait of Hormuz operational situation through UN’s channel, following IMO’s decision to temporarily pause its evacuation operation. Humanitarian crisis involving 11,000 seafarers and initial evacuation progress The International Maritime Organization temporarily suspended its emergency evacuation framework in the Strait of Hormuz on 25 June, following a recent attack on the commercial vessel in the southern transit corridor. The framework was launched under an IMO Council mandate and in coordination with regional partners, including the Sultanate of Oman, to address a major maritime humanitarian crisis involving approximately 11,000 seafarers aboard around 600 vessels trapped in the Strait. While no casualties were reported in that incident, the Secretary-General said it highlighted the extreme risk environment facing commercial shipping and made continuation of evacuations unsafe without renewed assurances from relevant authorities. Before the suspension, the operation had facilitated...
Oman Tells Allies Ships Going Through Hormuz May Have to Pay...
posted on: Jun 29, 2026
(Bloomberg) — Oman has told European officials there’s no way of going back to the pre-war status quo with the Strait of Hormuz and transiting ships may have to be charged some fees, according to people familiar with the matter. While Omani officials said they will always abide by international maritime law, they added there could be fees for services related to de-polluting the strait or helping ships navigate it, the people said, asking not to be named discussing private matters. It’s unclear if Oman said all these fees would be obligatory. Oman is analyzing systems used for chokepoints across the globe, including the Malacca strait in Asia, said the people, an area where there are no mandatory shipping charges. The US, Europe and Oman’s Gulf Arab neighbors are increasingly concerned the sultanate will set up a tolling or fee system with Iran for the Strait of Hormuz. French President Emmanuel...
Clearing the Strait: How Autonomous Systems Are Redefining Mine Countermeasure Operations...
posted on: Jun 29, 2026
A mine doesn’t have to strike a ship to disrupt global commerce. In the Strait of Hormuz, the threat of mines alone has sparked uncertainty across the entire maritime industry, increasing insurance costs and delaying shipments along major routes. For shipowners, operators, and insurers, the challenge is not just the presence of mines but the time it takes to determine whether these critical waterways are safe. This challenge begins on the seabed. Detecting mines across deep sea and littoral environments requires specialized technology, operational experience, and the ability to survey with precision and confidence. For 20 years, Greensea IQ has developed autonomous maritime technology for complex maritime operations. Since 2014, they have been building, testing, and deploying maritime Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) solutions with the U.S. Navy. Today, the Bayonet underwater crawler is the only commercially ready robot capable of conducting mine countermeasure missions from the shoreline to the seafloor. The...
