inInternational Shipping News,Shipping: Emission Possible30/06/2026 The European Commission’s commitment to prevent shipping companies from being charged twice for the same emissions is a welcome step, but the maritime sector now needs clear guidance on how this will work in practice, according to integrated emissions management service, EmissionLink. The principle of avoiding double charging is clear, but the practical reality is far more complex. Shipping is already navigating a crowded regulatory landscape. EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime are now in force, while the IMO is moving towards its own global Net-Zero Framework. Each system has a different scope, timeline, calculation method and commercial logic. Without detailed guidance, avoiding duplicate carbon costs will not be straightforward. A vessel trading into Europe may be exposed to EU ETS, FuelEU Maritime and future IMO carbon rules. However, the obligations will not always sit with the same party, emissions data may not always be calculated in the same way, and costs may not be recoverable under existing charterparty terms. According to EmissionLink, the risk for shipowners is not only paying twice for the same emissions. It also includes reporting twice, calculating twice and building parallel compliance processes that increase cost, complexity and confusion. “The industry needs to know how EU and IMO obligations will be reconciled, how equivalent payments will be recognised, and what evidence shipowners will need to prove that the same tonne of emissions has not been penalised more than once,” said Philippos Ioulianou, Managing Director of EmissionLink. “This will determine whether carbon regulation is seen as a fair transition tool or simply another cost burden.” Accurate and auditable emissions data will be more important than ever, but data alone is not enough. Owners and operators also need the expertise to interpret that data across different regulatory schemes and make informed commercial decisions. EmissionLink has already supported the delivery of accurate FuelEU emissions data for more than 600 vessels, giving it first-hand insight into the complexity of compliance across different vessel types and operating profiles. Philippos IoulianouEmissionLink Managing Director “Every vessel has a different operating profile, every voyage has a regulatory consequence, and every compliance decision can affect cost exposure, penalties, pooling options, charterparty recovery and future planning,” said Mr Ioulianou. “The challenge is no longer simply submitting the right figure into the right system. It is understanding how current and future emissions schemes interact, how they affect the business, and how to avoid double penalties, duplicated processes and unnecessary costs.” The company also highlights that carbon pricing will only retain credibility if revenues are clearly directed back into maritime decarbonisation. Speaking at a ShipEnergy forum during Posidonia, Mr Ioulianou argued that EU member states must set out a clear pathway for the use of revenues generated through EU ETS and FuelEU-related mechanisms. “These funds should be directed back into the maritime sector,” he said. “They should not become a general revenue stream for governments. Demanding that shipping pays more while failing to invest in the infrastructure needed to make decarbonisation possible is not a transition strategy. It is taxation with a green label.” Whilst the European Commission is right to recognise the risk of duplicate carbon costs, the industry now needs practical, transparent and enforceable rules that support compliance while helping shipping transition to lower-carbon operations. “Shipping cannot decarbonise on promises alone,” said Mr Ioulianou. “The sector needs clarity, consistency and confidence that regulation will support the transition rather than simply adding cost and complexity.”Source: EmissionLink
CMB.Tech has agreed to sell two 2023-built suezmax tankers as strong asset values create another opportunity to cash in on the tanker market.
CMB.Tech has agreed to sell two 2023-built suezmax tankers as strong asset values create another opportunity to cash in on the tanker market. June 29, 2026 CMB.Tech has continued to make the most of a strong tanker market with the sale of a pair of 2023-built suezmax tankers. Greece-flagged Brest and Belgium-flagged Brugge will be delivered to their new owner in the third quarter of this year and generate a capital gain of around $100.5m, the company said in a press release. "Historically strong Suezmax valuations have created an opportunity to unlock value at an attractive point in the cycle," said Alexander Saverys, CEO of CMB.tech. The youth of the three-year-old ships sets their sale apart from the slate of 11 vessel sales reported in the first quarter, where the youngest was built in 2016. The disposal of the eightVLCCs, two capesizes and single suezmax announced in the first quarter earnings was expected to generate $534.8m from what Saverys called a “red-hot tanker market”. The company has made no secret of its strategy to take attractive returns for its older vessels in a strong market and continues to execute on fleet renewal, taking delivery of two VLCCs, two suezmaxes, a chemical tanker, a newcastlemax and a CSOV this year up to 11 May.

Blog | Premio Internazionale Tecnovisionarie 2026: il linguaggio come leva di innovazione, inclusione e futuro Alley Oop - ilSole24ORE
“Lavorare con le parole” è il tema dell’edizione 2026 del Premio Internazionale Tecnovisionarie®, che propone una riflessione ampia e trasversale sul linguaggio come strumento di pensiero, relazione e trasformazione sociale. Al centro dell’edizione vi è l’idea che le parole, nelle loro molteplici forme – scritta, orale, digitale, algoritmica e performativa – non si limitino a descrivere la realtà, ma concorrano attivamente a definirla, orientandone sviluppi e possibilità nei diversi ambiti della conoscenza e dell’innovazione. In questa prospettiva, il linguaggio si afferma come leva strategica nei processi culturali, scientifici ed economici, capace di generare inclusione, accesso al sapere e nuove forme di partecipazione.
Il Premio Internazionale Tecnovisionarie® 2026, promosso da Women&Tech® – Associazione Donne e Tecnologie – ETS, celebra il talento femminile come forza capace di interpretare e trasformare il presente attraverso l’uso consapevole del linguaggio. Il riconoscimento valorizza donne che, nei diversi ambiti professionali, utilizzano la parola come strumento di conoscenza, innovazione e cambiamento.
Il premio intende mettere in evidenza il ruolo del linguaggio nei processi contemporanei, dall’intelligenza artificiale alla comunicazione, dall’educazione alla cultura, fino all’impresa e alla sfera pubblica. Le parole diventano così non solo strumenti descrittivi, ma dispositivi di costruzione della realtà, capaci di influenzare modelli organizzativi, dinamiche sociali e accesso al sapere.
In questa prospettiva, il lavoro con le parole assume una dimensione anche etica e politica: significa contribuire a generare fiducia, rendere accessibili le conoscenze, favorire la partecipazione e sostenere processi di innovazione sia tecnologica sia sociale. Narrazione, comunicazione pubblica, ricerca scientifica, linguaggi dell’intelligenza artificiale e cultura d’impresa consapevole diventano ambiti in cui il linguaggio si traduce in azione trasformativa.

Il Premio speciale parità di genere è stato assegnato a Monica D’Ascenzo, Diversity & Inclusion editor de Il Sole 24 Ore e responsabile di Alley Oop.
Nel corso del Premio è stato evidenziato come il linguaggio rappresenti oggi un fattore centrale nei processi di innovazione e cambiamento, capace di incidere sulla costruzione della conoscenza e sulle dinamiche sociali. Le parole, è stato sottolineato, possono informare, formare e ispirare, ma anche rendere più accessibili i saperi e orientare modelli di sviluppo più inclusivi.
La Presidente di Women&Tech® ETS, Gianna Martinengo, ha sottolineato come il linguaggio costituisca uno strumento fondamentale di pensiero e responsabilità: le donne premiate dimostrano come attraverso le parole sia possibile generare conoscenza, costruire relazioni e orientare il futuro verso maggiore equità e inclusione, esprimendo una leadership consapevole e trasformativa.

Tre iniziative ENEA per l’efficienza energetica tra le buone pratiche ENEA – Efficienza Energetica
Ci sono anche tre attività realizzate dal Dipartimento Unità per l’Efficienza Energetica di ENEA tra le best practice raccolte nel Rapporto Le buone pratiche e gli indicatori - Mitigazione e adattamento climatico, circolarità, ripristino e aumento del capitale naturale nelle città, pubblicato dall’Osservatorio sulla transizione ecologica nelle città nell’ambito del Green City Network.
Il report, curato da Edo Ronchi, presidente della Fondazione per lo sviluppo sostenibile, con Alessandra Bailo Modesti e Anna Parasacchi del Green City Network, raccoglie e sintetizza i contributi dei gruppi di lavoro tematici dedicati all’adattamento e alla mitigazione climatica, alla circolarità e al ripristino del capitale naturale nelle aree urbane.
Il Rapporto è stato presentato nel corso dell'incontro nazionale dell'Osservatorio che si è tenuto a Roma lo scorso 23 giugno. I lavori hanno coinvolto oltre cento rappresentanti delle istituzioni, delle amministrazioni locali, del mondo della ricerca e delle imprese, impegnati a individuare soluzioni concrete per rendere le città più resilienti agli effetti della crisi climatica.
Tra le esperienze selezionate figurano alcune iniziative ENEA per l’efficienza energetica nei Comuni:
il Programma nazionale di informazione e formazione per l'efficienza energetica (PIF) Italia in Classe A, promosso dal Ministero dell'Ambiente e della Sicurezza Energetica e realizzato da ENEA per diffondere la cultura dell'efficienza energetica tra cittadini, imprese e pubbliche amministrazioni;
il servizio Deciwatt della Città metropolitana di Milano, sviluppato con il supporto di ENEA, come sportello unico per accompagnare cittadini e condomìni nei percorsi di riqualificazione energetica degli edifici;
REHOUSE, progetto europeo finanziato nell'ambito di Horizon Europe che sperimenta soluzioni innovative e replicabili per la riqualificazione energetica dell'edilizia residenziale pubblica, con un sito dimostrativo realizzato nel Comune pugliese di Margherita di Savoia. Gli interventi di riqualificazione contribuiranno a ridurre i consumi energetici e le emissioni di CO2 dell’edificio pilota, ma permetteranno anche di migliorare il comfort abitativo e le condizioni di vita degli inquilini.
Margherita Leone, assessore alla pubblica istruzione, commercio, attività produttive, affari legali e contenzioso/legalità, risorse energetiche e rinnovabili, PNRR. del Comune di Margherita di Savoia è intervenuta all’evento sottolineando che “l’intervento di riqualificazione integrata rappresenta un esempio virtuoso del dialogo tra enti, istituzioni e inquilini con un impatto positivo sulla collettività anche dal punto di vista sociale”.
L'Osservatorio sulla transizione ecologica nelle città, costituito nel 2025 su iniziativa di ENEA, ISPRA, Fondazione per lo sviluppo sostenibile, Green City Network, Agenzia del Demanio e Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, riunisce oltre 60 città italiane, imprese, organizzazioni ed esperti del mondo accademico con l'obiettivo di supportare, su basi scientifiche e operative, le politiche pubbliche per la sostenibilità urbana e territoriale.

Russia has apparently equipped one of its most strategically important liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers with heavy machine guns, according to photographs taken by Estonia’s border authorities, marking what analysts say is an unprecedented militarization of a civilian Russian energy vessel.
Middle East producers are pushing ahead with oil and liquefied natural gas loading despite fresh ship attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and renewed strikes between the U.S. and Iran in recent days, shipping data showed.
Pakistan is seeking to buy liquefied natural gas for delivery this week as a string of attacks in the Strait of Hormuz disrupts flows of the super-chilled fuel.
Easing of Iran sanctions and return to Red Sea transits could substantially pressure prices for scrapping candidates, according to Wirana Shipping.
Easing of Iran sanctions and return to Red Sea transits could substantially pressure prices for scrapping candidates, according to Wirana Shipping. June 29, 2026 The ship recycling market could move from a prolonged shortage of end-of-life tonnage to a capacity crunch if geopolitical disruption eases and a larger flow of vessels comes forward for demolition, according to Wirana Shipping. Hitesh Vyas, VP Middle East & green recycling co-ordinator at Wirana, toldSeatrade Maritime Newsthat recycling markets currently remain tight, with limited supply across vessel segments keeping competition high among buyers and yards. As shipping markets are elevated, the economic balance for older vessels has tipped towards keeping them in operation. Even olderLNGsteam turbine vessels, previously seen as prime recycling candidates earlier in the year due to their commercial shortcomings compared to more efficient tonnage, have largely disappeared from the demolition market as their employment prospects improved. The shortage of available tonnage has pushed cash buyers andrecyclingyards into competition for those ships being offered. “When there are few ships coming out, everybody wants them, and it starts with the buyers trying to outbid each other, then they try to push that higher price product to the ship breakers”, said Vyas. Related:Jinjiang Shipping ramps up intra-Asia container ship fleet Prices will likely be pressured substantially downwards should the war in Iran come to an end and international sanctions on Iran be unwound, he added, but if only the Red Sea route becomes risk free it will take time for ships to reach the recycling market. The two-month negotiating period contained in the US-Iran MoU will likely be followed by owners waiting another couple of months to be confident that routes in the Red Sea and Gulf are safe, said Vyas, pushing the arrival of new scrapping candidates into next year. Diversions around the Cape of Good Hope currently support around 10% of shipping capacity, and a return to the more direct Red Sea route for Asia-Europe container services is expected to bring a wave of containership recycling. “Newbuilding deliveries have been happening in the container market and were supposed to result in recycling candidates coming out last year, but they have all been absorbed by diversions”, said Vyas. Nobody benefits from a lot of vessels hitting the market at the same time, said Vyas, but fortunately for owners, buyers, and yards alike, the flow of ships to the breakers should be gradual “Owners have made money this time, so they are not in a liquidity tightness where they cannot hold the vessel even for a short time.” With cash on hand, shipowners will be able to hold off and time their sales, bringing a more systematic influx of tonnage rather than a rush to dispose of assets. Related:Volkswagen Group unloads majority stake in Everllence to Bain Capital A closely-related but separate driver, for the tanker market in particular, is the potential end to sanctions on Iran, which may drive Iranian oil onto the compliant fleet and leave dark fleet tankers destined for scrapping. Vyas is hoping for a streamlined process, if and when sanctions are lifted, to ensure that banks and other agencies are aligned with any changes in sanctioned status to ensure payments are not blocked and the vessels can be safely removed from the fleet. Should sanctions stay in place, Wirana would like to see the US Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) introduce a process where it conducts Know Your Customer (KYC) checks to clear established cash buyers to, for instance, handle abandoned vessels that may have a history of sanctions. Cash buyers could commit to taking a vessel straight to a recycling yard, following up with evidence of the ship’s complete recycling to ensure no involvement in sanctioned activities. Wirana does not buy sanctioned vessels, he stressed, and the key question in any future deals either post-sanctions or through some OFAC-approved process will be ensuring money does not end up in the wrong hands. Related:First of five Hapag-Lloyd dual-fuel retrofits completed by Everllence In the current situation of tight vessel supply, yards may be willing to commit to a vessel a few months out as they feel secure on the pricing front. If supply begins to increase, owners may find yards holding off on making deals until work is ready to begin. Recycling an average ship takes between three and five months, while aVLCCcan take 10 months to a year, and so a rise in end-of-life tonnage may quickly fill available yard capacity. Ship recycling capacity is not completely inelastic, said Vyas, and there is an opportunity to bring more online. “There are facilities in Pakistan and Bangladesh that are not proceeding withHong Kong Convention (HKC)certification simply because there is no business. Proceeding with HKC certification requires infrastructure costs and training costs. So, their question is, why should we spend money when there is no business coming our way?” Great demand for ship recycling could push these yards to seek HKC compliance, but it may take a period of one to two years for this additional capacity to enter the market. “During that time, there may be waitlists and price pressures,” said Vyas. The market hasn’t seen yard capacity as a constraint since the pandemic, and excess recycling tonnage was last seen properly in around 2012, he added. Owners in OECD countries may face particular challenges should they need to recycle more ships. Of the major four ship recycling destinations, Türkiye has been winning a greater share of available vessels of late, and yards are running close to capacity. As the only OECD nation with significant ship recycling capacity, Turkey has benefited from the Basel Convention’s restrictions on end-of-life ships leaving OECD waters for a non-OECD recycling yard, as per the Basel Ban Amendment. For shipowners with ships approaching end-of-life, Vyas advised that preparation in good time for recycling is important, from building the Inventory of Hazardous Materials to identifying a preferred yard and cash buyer, aligning voyages, and drafting a Memorandum of Agreement in advance with any necessary clauses. Any peace deal or sanctions changes will not bring a wave of ships for recycling in the next few months, so now is a good time to bring a ship to market, said Vyas: “Instead of waiting for the markets to change, you will be able to recycle one ship within that time. For ship owners with difficult projects, this is the time to get the ships out and in the market, because people will buy it. Later, when the supply increases, they will become picky and choosy.” Read more about: Gary Howard Middle East correspondent Gary Howard is the Middle East Correspondent for Seatrade Maritime News and has written for Seatrade Cruise, Seatrade Maritime Review and was News Editor at Lloyd’s List.

A VLCC has been struck in Strait of Hormuz after US hit Iranian coastal positions
The latest news and commentary on how the US/Israel-Iran conflict is affecting the global maritime industry and shipping markets. A VLCC has been struck in Strait of Hormuz after US hit Iranian coastal positions June 27, 2026 APanama-flagged tankerKikuhas been struck in the Strait of Hormuz the second attack since the 60-day accord was signed between US and Iran. TheVLCCKikuwas hit by an unidentified projectile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz at 08:00 hrs UTC, maritime security firm Vanguard reported. The UKMTO said the vessel reported damage to the bridge and that all crew safe. Based on its draught reported on AIS reported a few hours before the attack the 300,866 dwt tanker was laden with 2 million barrels of oil at the time it was struck. No pollution has been reported at present as a result of the attack. The attack on the tanker comes as the security threat ratchets up again in the Strait of Hormuz and the Joint Maritime Information Centre (JIMC) has increased the threat level in the waterway substantial from moderate following attacks on merchant vessels. The Singapore-flagged container shipEver Lovelywas struck by an Iranian drone while transiting southern corridor in the Strait on 25 June. Iran doesn’t recognise the southern corridor and started threatening vessel again transiting the route after an evacuation plan was launched by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for vessels and 11,000 crew stranded in the Arabian Gulf. Following the attack on the Ever Lovely the operation was suspended. Related:IMO suspends Hormuz transits after Evergreen ship attacked US Central Command said it conducted strikes against Iran on 26 June in what it characterised as a "powerful response” to the attack on theEver Lucky. Iran has since hit commercial shipping again the southern corridor with the attack on theKiku. Despite the deteriorating security situation in Hormuz the JMIC said the southern corridor had been widened to allow simultaneous inbound and outbound traffic. “Mariners are advised of the existence of mines and should expect naval presence as clearance operations continue. Mariners should also expect congestion through transit routes and VHF hailing from naval forces to support free flow,” JMIC said. United Against a Nuclear Iran (UANI) Senior Advisor Charlie Brown posted a chart of the two-lane southern corridor and mined area in the Strait which can be seen below.

«Puntiamo su innovazione, competenze e pianificazione strategica per cogliere tutte le opportunità che interessano il sistema energetico e produttivo del Paese – ha sottolineato Lucia Leonessi -. Il rischio in Italia è di portare avanti la combustione del rifiuto senza valorizzazione energetica. Le tecnologie e le soluzioni integrate adottate dagli industriali italiani dell’ambiente hanno un ruolo chiave. Ma servono incentivi e una pianificazione organica delle infrastrutture».
Nel Parco Biometano Ecoross, economia circolare totale
Con 3 MW di energia solare per autoconsumo, il riciclo delle acque, più di 12.000 metri quadrati di aree verdi con 2.000 essenze piantate, percorsi didattici e giardini, orti, opere di riuso creativo, «questo Parco, dove si trasforma la frazione organica in biometano e compost di qualità con recupero della CO₂, rappresenta concretamente la nostra idea di economia circolare», ha affermato l’imprenditore Walter Pulignano, consigliere generale di Cisambiente Confindustria e amministratore unico di Ecoross.

Stretta Ue sulle emissioni di metano: la Germania si unisce al coro del no, ma la Commissione tira dritto Il Sole 24 ORE
La Commissione difende la stretta
Alcuni analisti del settore energetico e gruppi ambientalisti hanno contestato queste tesi, sostenendo che sono disponibili sufficienti forniture in linea con i requisiti della normativa. Il commissario per l’Energia, Dan Jorgensen, nella conferenza stampa al termine del consiglio Energia, ha dichiarato che l’Esecutivo è disposto a facilitare l’attuazione delle regole, ma ha aggiunto che la normativa è già sufficientemente flessibile e che la Commissione non intende modificarla, anche perché ciò non farebbe che aumentare l’incertezza sul mercato. «Rimaniamo fermi nella nostra posizione di non voler riaprire la legislazione, riteniamo che sia estremamente importante per la nostra transizione verso un’economia pulita in Europa», ha affermato il commissario.
80 volte peggio della CO2
Immesso in atmosfera, il metano ha un potere riscaldante circa ottanta volte maggiore dell’anidride carbonica. Tuttavia, ha una vita media (tempo di dissipazione) molto più corta, circa 12 anni. La CO2 ha un ciclo estremamente complesso e produce alterazioni per secoli e millenni. Per questo motivo, ridurre le emissioni di metano può frenare l’aumento delle temperature in tempi relativamente contenuti, a differenza di quanto si può fare con la CO2 (l’anidride carbonica immessa oggi produrrà danni nei secoli, per questo è importante azzerarla, se si vuole far qualcosa contro il climate change).
Le ondate di calore, come quella di questi giorni, sono rese più frequenti, più intense e più lunghe dal cambiamento climatico. Secondo un recente studio dei ricercatori di ClimaMeter, un consorzio internazionale di scienziati, rispetto a quelle che si sono verificate nella seconda metà del secolo scorso, le ondate di calore attuali generano temperature più alte di 2-4 gradi centigradi. L’Europa è anche il continente che si surriscalda più rapidamente, a velocità doppia rispetto alla media mondiale.

Hydrogen Adige Valley, apre il nuovo polo dell'idrogeno verde Il Sole 24 ORE
Hydrogen Adige Valley, apre il nuovo polo dell'idrogeno verde 26 giugno 2026
Milano, 26 giu. (askanews) - A Bolzano entra in funzione la Hydrogen Adige Valley, un nuovo polo che punta a produrre idrogeno verde per alimentare il trasporto pubblico e rafforzare la mobilità a zero emissioni. L'infrastruttura è stata completata in un solo anno, nel pieno rispetto delle tempistiche previste dal PNRR. Il nuovo impianto integra la produzione di idrogeno verde, un parco fotovoltaico e una stazione di rifornimento per gli autobus. L'energia prodotta dai pannelli alimenta il processo di elettrolisi che genera il carburante destinato ai mezzi pubblici. Oggi Sasa, l'azienda di trasporto pubblico altoatesina, dispone di circa 50 autobus a zero emissioni su una flotta di 370 veicoli. L'obiettivo è superare i 120 entro il 2030, integrando mezzi elettrici e a idrogeno. Promosso dalla Provincia autonoma di Bolzano insieme a Sasa e ad Alperia, il progetto punta anche a rafforzare il ruolo dell'Alto Adige nel Brennero Green Corridor, il corridoio europeo a basse emissioni destinato a collegare il Mediterraneo con il Nord Europa.

Containerships hitting the water this week have mostly gone to Far East-Mediterranean and Far East-Indian Subcontinent routes – a sign offirmingcargo volumes and freight rates on these trades. According to Alphaliner, CSSC (Tianjin) Shipbuilding last week delivered the 16,136 teuCMA CGM Cyranoto the French carrier, the third delivery of six sister methanol dual-fuelled vessels commissioned in February 2023 for around $175m each. CMA CGM has deployedCyranoto its Far East-East Mediterranean loop, the BEX2 (aka Phoenician Express), where it joins both its sisters, the rest of which will be completed by the end of the year. Meanwhile, Taiwan operator Wan Hai Lines continues to build on its standalone Far East-Mediterranean service FM1, sending the newly built 8,710 teuWan Hai 902to the route after its delivery from HD Hyundai Samho. Wan Hai 902is the second of four conventionally powered ships ordered in September 2024 for $127m each, and was delivered on 11 June, all the others will be completed by 2027. Launched last September, the FM1 marked Wan Hai’s return to the Far East-Mediterranean route after 16 years, andWan Hai 902will be the 11thship on the service. The deployment of the ywo new box ships on the FM1 represents an upsizing, as the service was initially run with 4,300-5,000 teu ships. Wan Hai’s privately owned associate, Interasia Lines, has been expanding into the China-India lane, and this week took delivery of the 7,092 teuInterasia Ambitionfrom Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding. It will be assigned to Interasia’s China-India ICI service operated with RCL and Wan Hai. This also represents a vessel upsizing, as it replaces the 4,890 teuInterasia Inspirationon the loop currently run with 3,000-7,000 teu ships. To meet high demand on the China-India trade, Maersk Line has deployed the 5,915 teuMaersk Ferrato, lately arrived from Tsuneishi Zhoushan, to fulfil an extra sailing. It’s one of four ships Japanese tonnage provider Nissen Kaiun commissioned in March 2023 for long-term charter to the Danish carrier. Only one newbuilding delivery this week is for the Far East-North Europe trade: Yang Ming took delivery of the 15,500 teuYM Wayfinderfrom HD Hyundai Heavy Industries. One of five sister units ordered in 2024,YM Wayfinder(pictured above) will be deployed to the Premier Alliance’s FE3 service, operated with MSC. Due to only a few ultra-large ships being ordered in 2023-2024, not many newbuildings have been assigned to the Far East-North Europe lanes.
The attack followed an Iranian warning on 25 June that vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz without their permission were doing so illegally
The latest news and commentary on how the US/Israel-Iran conflict is affecting the global maritime industry and shipping markets. The attack followed an Iranian warning on 25 June that vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz without their permission were doing so illegally June 26, 2026 TheInternational Maritime Organization’s (IMO)evacuation scheme through the Strait of Hormuz for ships trapped in the Arabian Gulf has been paused. The transit plan launched earlier this week was suspended after theSingapore-flaggedEvergreencontainer shipEver Lovelywas struck by an unknown projectile while 7.5 nm Southeast of Dahit,Oman, according to maritime security firm Vanguard Tech. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that the vessel had been hit on the starboard side causing damage to the bridge. The Master reported no damage or environmental impact to the vessel it said. According to the IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez the container ship was not transiting the strait under its evacuation plan, however, the UN organisation had decided to pause the scheme to reconfirm safety guarantees to ships crossing the waterway. "Following the launch of the IMO’s evacuation plan, through which several vessels have already been successfully evacuated, I have decided to temporarily pause its implementation in order to reconfirm that the necessary safety guarantees continue to be in place for the ships on our evacuation list and all those in the region,” Dominguez said. Related:Iran sabre rattles over Strait of Hormuz southern route “I have been informed of an attack today in the Gulf of Oman on a vessel which passed through the Strait of Hormuz. This vessel did not transit under IMO’s evacuation framework. I have always reiterated that the safety of the seafarers remains paramount. Therefore, to ensure a coordinated approach and navigational safety, the evacuation plan will be paused until further clarity is obtained.” The attack on the container ship came after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned that vessels without Iranian permission are using the waterway illegally. Following the signing of the 60-day accord between the US and Iran two routes had opened up in the Strait of Hormuz – a northern corridor controlled by Iran and a southern corridor in Omani waters close to its coastline – while the usual traffic separation scheme (TSS) remains closed due to potential Iranian mines. This week Oman had released guidance for ships using the southern route as part of the IMO evacuation plan, however this was followed by the IRGC’s warning reported on Iranian media, as well as reports of broadcasts to vessels that ships without permission should not transit the waterway. The attack, if confirmed to be by the IRGC, would represent a flagrant disregard for the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) which designates the Strait as a waterway of unhindered ‘transit passage’. Related:Through the crystal ball: two straits and a reconstruction fund As of the time of writing theEver Lovely, the vessel reported to be involved in the attack, was transiting the Gulf of Oman having continued on its voyage based on AIS data from Pole Star Global. Transits of the Strait of Hormuz had been increasing sharply in recent days and according to AXS Marine there were 62 verified transits of the waterway on 24 June some 53% of the number recorded on the same date in 2025. Jakob Larsen, Chief Safety & Security Officer for Bimco commented: "Bimco is deeply concerned with the recent attack on a merchant ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz using the inshore traffic zone off Oman. "Unfortunately, the attack is a set-back in the plans to evacuate ships and resume transits through the Strait of Hormuz, although some transits can still be expected to take place." Despite the recent attack and the pause of the IMO evacuation plan at least two vessels could be seen on AIS lining up or starting transits of the Strait of Hormuz via the southern corridor at the time of writing. A third vessel the Togo-registered tankerBlue Star 1had reversed course mid-transit outbound on 25 June. The renewed threat to shipping the strait came on the IMO’s Day of the Seafarer on 25 June and Secretary-General Dominguez said: “Today marks the Day of the Seafarer, underlining the importance of ensuring that the continued evacuation of the thousands of seafarers stranded in the Persian Gulf can proceed without the risk of them becoming collateral victims in this geopolitical conflict."

A 22% rise in officer supply since 2021 was not enough to match demand growth, according to the latest Bimco-ICS workforce study.
A 22% rise in officer supply since 2021 was not enough to match demand growth, according to the latest Bimco-ICS workforce study. June 25, 2026 The shortage of STCW-certified officers has increased over the past five years, as has the surplus of STCW-certified ratings, according to a new report fromBimcoandICS. The Seafarer Workforce Report 2026 estimates that a supply of 1,048,980 officers in 2026 represents a shortage of 39,100 compared to demand, while the current workforce of 1,516,600 ratings is a surplus of 56,890. The latest instalment of the five-yearly report showed the shortage of officers has continued to grow since 2015 when it stood at 16,500 officers and 2021 when it was 26,240. The surplus of ratings, which stood at 119,000 in 2015, has resumed growth after contracting to 37,640 in the pandemic-influenced period of the 2021 report. Overall demand for seafarers rose by 35% in the five years to 2026, a significant increase on the demand growth reported in both 2015 and 2021, likely driven by fleet growth and the industry’s post-pandemic recovery, said the report. In 2021, the authors predicted an increase in demand for officers of 89,510 by 2026, while the actual demand increase over the five years was 204,300. Related:Day of The Seafarer in conversation with The Seafarers' Charity Supply of officers increased by 22% in 2021-2026, falling short of a 23.1% increase in demand; supply of ratings grew by 47%, outpacing demand growth of 46.3%. While the increasing shortfall in officers over the past 15 years points to a growing challenge for shipping, the 2026 report contained some signs of hope for the coming years. The number of officer cadets had grown once again, and the ratio of officer cadets to qualified officers was 1:3.8, improving on 1:4.8 in 2021 and 1:7.6 in 2015. Officer cadet berths were also easier to find than in 2021, although ratings cadets continued to have an easier time finding berths than their officer cadet peers, and companies said it was easier to recruit ratings for the deck and engine room than it was to recruit engineering and deck officers. Looking ahead, the report predicted demand in 2030 for 1,162,716 officers and 1,558,973 ratings, requiring compound annual growth in supply of 2.0% and 0.5%, respectively. The figures translate to an additional 113,735 officers by 2030 and 42,373 ratings. To address the ongoing and worsening shortage of officers, the report recommends that maritime education and training and careers at sea are promoted with information on transitioning to shore-based roles. Maritime administrations are also advised to monitor seafarer recruitment and retention levels to inform the industry and policymakers on the seafaring workforce’s supply and demand situation. Related:IMO’s Dominguez weighs in with plan for stranded seafarers “The recruitment, training and retention of the seafarer workforce will be crucial to ensuring that our industry is prepared for the future. We have a big collective task ahead of us in working with all stakeholders and the countries that are the biggest suppliers of the seafarers operating our ships. The report can help ensure that recruitment and employment policies are future focused,” said Bimco secretary general & CEO, David Loosley. “As shipping continues to evolve, attracting more people to careers in maritime is essential. We must continue our long-standing efforts to engage with young people early and build a strong pipeline of future talent. At the same time, retaining and developing our existing workforce is equally important,” said ICS secretary general, Thomas A. Kazakos. “Without continued investment in both recruitment and training, the workforce gap risks growing at a time when the industry needs skilled seafarers more than ever.” Read more about: Gary Howard Middle East correspondent Gary Howard is the Middle East Correspondent for Seatrade Maritime News and has written for Seatrade Cruise, Seatrade Maritime Review and was News Editor at Lloyd’s List.

Regina (Confindustria), Ets non è calibrato su reale disponibilità delle tecnologie ANSA
Redazione AnsaROMA - Giugno 25,2026 - News (ANSA) - ROMA, 25 GIU - "Non siamo contro il sistema Ets, ne riconosciamo alcune valenze positive che ha avuto. Credo che oggi questi strumenti non siano calibrati sulla reale disponibilità delle tecnologie e sulla competitività delle imprese e rischiano di trasformarsi in costi aggiuntivi senza produrre una vera transizione".Lo ha detto il vicepresidente di Confindustria per l'energia Aurelio Regina, intervenendo in videocollegamento durante l'assemblea pubblica di Assocarta a Roma.(ANSA).
