INTERTANKO calls for clear safety framework for resumption of Hormuz transits...
posted on: Jun 24, 2026
Following the US–Iran peace deal, INTERTANKO is urging immediate clarity on how vessels can safely resume transiting the Strait of Hormuz. While the agreement to formally end hostilities is welcomed, the organisation stresses that shipowners still need concrete, agreed procedures to ensure navigational safety and seafarer security before normal operations can resume. INTERTANKO outlines a phased reopening approach where safety is prioritised above all else. As informed, the immediate focus should be on clearing mines from the main internationally recognised Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS), followed by a clear, unified declaration from all involved governments that the route is safe. In the interim, if alternative northern and southern routes are used, strict operational, navigational, and command structures must be established to manage risk and high traffic volumes. INTERTANKO also emphasises that once the main TSS is restored, temporary alternative routes should be closed to avoid confusion and risk. The organisation further highlights that...
Iran Oil Surges as Seven Supertankers Sail After Blockade Lifts...
posted on: Jun 24, 2026
By Weilun Soon, Julian Lee, Grant Smith and Prejula Prem Jun 19, 2026 (Bloomberg) –Iranian crude oil flows appeared to surge following the lifting of a months-long US naval blockade on the Islamic Republic’s ports, even as visible traffic from its neighbors thinned. Seven supertankers with the capacity to carry around 14 million barrels of crude were detected leaving the Iranian port of Chabahar on the Gulf of Oman on Friday, according to shipping data compiled by Bloomberg. That’s compares with four vessels observed over the previous two days. This week’s memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran to end their dual blockade is set to ease the biggest oil supply disruption in history. That could put further downward pressure on prices, which have dropped roughly 37% from the four-year high reached in April. Two Iranian officials said earlier this week they anticipated a swift rebound in flows as the...

The Sailor, the Sea, and the Price of Duty: The Story of Separation, Sacrifice, and Captain Mahbubur Rahman by Ghulam Suhrawardi The oceans and seas have called many adventurers, explorers, and poets throughout the ages. For most people, watching a vessel venture out towards the horizon symbolizes freedom, opportunity, and adventure. However, for those who make a career at sea, call it what you may, but it’s much more than that. It’s a profession that requires sacrifice, patience, and time away from friends and family. Picture the scene. A sailor kisses his family goodbye before another contract or voyage. It’s a scene every seafarer has experienced time and time again, whether at an airport, a gate, or a gangway. He watches as they depart back to dry land and into his loved one’s arms. He’s making a living at sea, like thousands of other Bangladeshi seamen serving on ships...
More Than 20 Million Barrels Leave Iran as Post-War Oil Trade Reawakens...
posted on: Jun 23, 2026
By Weilun Soon, Julian Lee, Grant Smith and Prejula Prem (Bloomberg) — Iran is shipping large amounts of oil that had previously been held back by a US blockade, a potential boost for Tehran after it signed an interim peace deal with Washington on Wednesday. A total of 11 tankers hauling a combined 20 million barrels of oil were detected leaving the Iranian port of Chabahar on the Gulf of Oman this week, shipping data compiled by Bloomberg show. The US military had prevented the vessels from sailing out into the Indian Ocean, part of an effort to squeeze Tehran’s access to petrodollars. Most Iranian oil goes to China. The increased flows come as Iran continues in its efforts to control which ships can pass through Hormuz and how. The country’s Persian Gulf State Authority, an entity set up to oversee transits, said in a document on its website that shippers must...
How Odfjell turned AI into a tool crews actually use...
posted on: Jun 23, 2026
An AI chatbot called ODI, short for Odfjell Digital Intelligence, has quickly become one of the most widely used digital tools at Odfjell. Designed to help crew and shore personnel find answers within company procedures, operational documentation and approved external data sources, e.g. vessel information. The chatbot attracts more than 300 users each month who collectively perform over 3,000 interactions with the chatbot, and the numbers are growing. The ODI chatbot and its name was announced a year ago at the Global Safety Day when the theme was “The role of AI and digitalization at work”. Its success is notable because it runs counter to much of the industry’s discussion around artificial intelligence. While maritime AI conversations often focus on automation, predictive analytics and operational optimisation, one of Odfjell’s most successful deployments helps people find information. For Alena Pedersen, Vice President Corporate IT and Digitalisation at Odfjell, new technology succeeds when...
Iran Asserts Control Over the Strait of Hormuz...
posted on: Jun 23, 2026
Less than 48 hours after President Donald Trump signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran to end the conflict and restore freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, Tehran has published a sweeping new set of rules governing commercial traffic through the waterway. The documents, issued by Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), require vessels to obtain passage permits, use designated routes closer to Iran than the internationally recognized Traffic Separation Scheme, and carry insurance approved by the authority. The move marks an extraordinary development for shipping through the Strait and the clearest sign yet that Iran intends to assume a much more direct role in administering traffic through the world’s most important oil chokepoint.nextstay Under the rules published by the PGSA, vessels are not permitted to transit the Strait without a valid permit issued by the authority. Applications can be approved, deemed incomplete, or denied outright. Each...
IMPA: Overall non-compliance rate improves slightly on pilot transfer arrangements...
posted on: Jun 23, 2026
The results of the International Maritime Pilots Association (IMPA) 2026 Safety Campaign on pilot transfer arrangements, highlight that the overall non-compliance rate has improved slightly to 13% compared to the previous year, with pilot ladders remaining the leading source of non-compliant observations. Around the clock and across the globe, maritime pilots transfer to and from vessels of every size in all weather conditions and throughout every season. The work is inherently hazardous, yet it remains essential to the safe and efficient movement of ships in and out of ports. This year’s campaign attracted participation from members from 34 countries submitting a total of 4,051 entries. Key findings of the IMPA 2026 Safety Campaign 13% non-compliance rate 4051 number of reports 740 number of pilots participating Highest rates of noncompliance found in Asia / Middle East (24%) and Africa (22%) No significant change to historic non-compliance trends Pilot ladders remain the leading...
Oil Shipments Rise in Hormuz Although Questions Grow Over Iran’s Transit Terms...
posted on: Jun 23, 2026
June 19 (Reuters) – Oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz picked up on Friday after the United States and Iran signed a ceasefire deal, with Gulf producers preparing to raise exports despite concerns over conditions set by Tehran for using the vital waterway. Washington and Tehran released the text of an interim agreement signed on Wednesday to end the conflict, although U.S. President Donald Trump warned he could resume attacks and target Iranian officials if commitments are not honored. At least four tankers carrying crude, oil products and liquefied petroleum gas entered the strait on Friday, heading for Iraqi Gulf ports, according to MarineTraffic data. A Japanese-owned crude tanker exited the strait after being delayed by the war and was bound for Japan. Separately, Indian-flagged crude supertankers Desh Vibhor and Desh Vaibhav had commenced voyages through the strait to India after days of disruption.

Maintenance dredging launched in Matarbari Channel to restore navigability...
posted on: Jun 21, 2026
The Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) has launched maintenance dredging operations in the Matarbari Deep Sea Port channel to restore navigability and ensure the safe and uninterrupted movement of vessels. The initiative follows significant sediment buildup in recent months, which reduced channel depth at several locations and threatened to affect maritime operations. Authorities said maintaining the designated depth is crucial for the safe passage of commercial and energy-carrying ships. The dredging work is being carried out by the Chinese-owned trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) King Copper. The vessel is removing accumulated silt from various sections of the channel to re-establish and maintain the required navigational depth, supporting efficient and secure port operations. source :...
Hormuz Is Reopening. Shipping’s Old Playbook Isn’t....
posted on: Jun 21, 2026
As the reports of a deal between the US and Iran are top headlines, again, shipowners will be looking at the financial implications and alternatives if Iran’s plan to charge ships for passing through the Strait of Hormuz becomes a negotiating footnote in the deal. Paul Morgan (gCaptain) – The numbers tell an interesting story: at the fee levels already reported, it is already cheaper to send a supertanker around the bottom of Africa. On 28 February 2026, US and Israeli airstrikes against Iran triggered what the maritime industry had long classified as its most extreme tail risk: the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Within 24 hours, traffic through the world’s most important oil corridor fell by 80%. Within 72 hours, most of the world’s shipping insurers had cancelled war risk cover for the entire Persian Gulf. Within a week, some 750 vessels were stranded on either side of...
First Russian shadow fleet tanker enters Channel since Smyrtos boarding...
posted on: Jun 21, 2026
A Russian “shadow fleet” tanker has entered the English Channel for the first time since UK forces boarded the Smyrtos on Sunday morning, ship tracking data shows. Forwarder, a Russian-flagged ship that left port in Primorsk last week, entered the Channel on Wednesday evening and sailed south. It is broadcasting its final destination as China’s Dongying port. The shadow fleet is used by Russia to avoid Western sanctions on oil exports imposed following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It is formed of hundreds of tankers, many of which are aging and obscure who owns them. UK-sanctioned tankers have avoided the Channel since the Smyrtos was intercepted with tracking data showing several vessels altering course to avoid the waterway. A Ministry of Defence (MoD) spokesperson told BBC Verify that they would not comment on the Forwarder or “on specific operational planning”. They cited the danger that commenting publicly could limit...
Crew Seeks Relief as India Struggles to Auction Derelict Ship...
posted on: Jun 21, 2026
After nearly three years, India continues to struggle to dispose of a derelict cargo ship while the seafarers’ union and others are calling attention to the poor conditions for the caretaker crew. The ship remains anchored approximately one mile off Mumbai, and last week the Directorate General of Shipping asked the Bombay High Court to expedite another attempt to auction off the vessel. The ship named Sencer 1 (2,800 dwt), according to media reports, arrived in Mumbai in July 2023, chartered to transport a cargo of transformers and accessories to Romania. Built in 2002 in China, the ship, which is registered in Tanzania, failed a Port State inspection with a staggering 40 deficiencies. They listed grounds for detention ranging from problems with the radar, radio, and echosounder to the oil filter equipment. The ship was arrested in August 2023 on a complaint from the charter. That case was ultimately settled, but the...
