There are a small, but growing number of transits of the Strait of Hormuz despite the ongoing conflict putting seafarers at risk
The latest news and commentary on how the US/Israel-Iran conflict is affecting the global maritime industry and shipping markets. There are a small, but growing number of transits of the Strait of Hormuz despite the ongoing conflict putting seafarers at risk June 10, 2026 IMOSecretary-General Arsenio Dominguez has again put seafarer welfare and safety as the top priority at time when a growing number of vessels attempt to transit the Strait of Hormuz. "I am increasingly concerned by reports that vessels continue to attempt to transit the Strait of Hormuz without any credible securityguarantees, despite well‑established risks and the fact that seafarers have already been killed, injured and others detained in recent incidents,” Dominguez said in a statement. “My primary concern is for the safety and lives of the seafarers being placed in these situations. They must not be exposed to conditions where the risks are known, significant, and clearly beyond mitigation. The current situation remains highly volatile, with no reliable security assurances in place. Under such circumstances, safe passage cannot be considered to exist.” The IMO Secretary-General’s statement came as transits of the Strait of Hormuz grow despite the potential risks. Exact numbers of transits are hard to quantify with many vessels running dark, turning off AIS transponders. Reuters quoted data from Vortexa that dark transits of the Strait peaked at 65.2% of crossings in May. Related:War not an excuse to strip seafarer rights, says ITF Transits are being made both to the north of the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) via route prescribed by Iran which the country says requires approval and payment of a toll, and a southern route closer to Oman with apparent guidance fromUSforces, which stops short of escorts. The Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC) has lowered its threat level for the Strait from Critical to Severe in recent days. “Due to the number of safe transits conducted via the southern route, this threat level has been reduced from Critical to Severe,” JMIC said in a 9 June update. It put the number of transits on 8 June as just eight, based on commercially available data, compared to an average of 138 per day prior to 28 February. With the conflict between US – Israel and Iran now having passed the 100-day mark the commercial pressure for ships stranded in the Arabian Gulf to exit will grow, as will the push to restart oil and gas exports through the Strait. US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on Tuesday that ship traffic andoilexports through the Strait were growing and would “continue to grow”. IMO Secretary-General Dominguez was clear that commercial concerns should not be allowed to override crew safety concerns. “No commercial or operational consideration can justify exposing seafarers to such levels of danger. The protection of their lives must remain the overriding priority at all times,” he stated.

Drayage operators in Long Beach rewarded for purchasing EV trucks Journal of Commerce
The port is giving financial awards to early purchasers of EV trucks as it works toward its goal of being the “world’s first carbon-free port,” CEO Noel Hacegaba said. Elizabeth Warren and Mark Kelly want the Trump administration to reinstate port fees against China’s maritime industry after their one-year suspension expires in November. The company is dealing with the fallout from a $77 million accounting error that has delayed its financial reporting, led to the departures of its CFO and COO, and is possibly behind slow payments to some third-party vendors.
Union reiterates demands for worker protections and ceasefire in Middle East as conflict reaches 100-day milestone.
The latest news and commentary on how the US/Israel-Iran conflict is affecting the global maritime industry and shipping markets. Union reiterates demands for worker protections and ceasefire in Middle East as conflict reaches 100-day milestone. June 9, 2026 The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) has marked 100 days since conflict erupted in the Middle East by reiterating a series of demands for peace and better protections for workers including seafarers. The union characterised the ongoing conflict, which began when theUSand Israel launched attacks on Iran on 28 February, as “a war that civilian transport workers did not start, cannot end and have paid for – with their lives, their health and their freedom.” ITF listed transport workers throughout the supply chain affected by the war, including those working at international airports targeted in the early hours of hostilities. “In the days and weeks that followed, the attacks on civilian shipping intensified. Ships were struck near the Strait of Hormuz and across the Persian Gulf. Vessels have been seized by Iran and the United States. Seafarers have been killed. Seafarers have been injured. And seafarers are being held hostage,” said ITF. Related:Safe passage of Strait of Hormuz does not exist: IMO Sec-Gen As of June 9, theInternational Maritime Organization’s (IMO)tracker of confirmed incidents in the Strait of Hormuz and the Middle East shows 42 incidents and the death of 11 seafarers. The first incident was recorded on 1 March and the latest on 8 June. ITF said there were more than 20,000 seafarers still stranded in the Persian Gulf, “far from their families, with no certainty about when they will see home again.” The union has received more than 2,500 requests for assistance from seafarers and their families and helped more than 600 seafarers to get home, it said. The union noted the mental health consequences of seafarers being trapped onboard for so long, and the potential long-term psychological impacts. Some employers had mad this situation worse by using force majeure to extend contracts without consent, restrict communications, and deny repatriation, ITF alleged. “War must not be a blank cheque for employers to strip seafarers of their rights. The Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) exists precisely to prevent this. Full implementation – now, not when the conflict is convenient – is non-negotiable. Crew changes must happen. Contracts must be honoured. Every seafarer in this region must be able to contact their family without restriction,” said ITF. 100 days into the war, ITF’s demands are: An immediate, permanent ceasefire and full de-escalation by all parties. Full and unconditional protection of civilian transport workers and civilian infrastructure under international law The immediate release of all detained seafarers and vessels. Full implementation of Maritime Labour Convention protections, including crew changes, wage payments, unrestricted communications and repatriation. An end of the misuse of force majeure to undermine workers’ rights. Meaningful mental health support for all transport workers affected by this conflict. Any humanitarian maritime corridor to be enacted only with full, verified, binding safety guarantees. Urgent diplomatic engagement under United Nations leadership toward a just and durable peace, grounded in international law and the UN Charter. Related:EU deploys new sanctions on Iran over Hormuz restrictions On the humanitarian corridor, ITF said that any such corridor can only operate if there is a full, binding, verified guarantee from every party to this conflict that participating vessels and their crews will not be targeted.

>>>ANSA/Missione di Confindustria a in Ue, 'serve profonda riforma degli Ets' ANSA
(di Fabiana Luca) (ANSA) - BRUXELLES, 09 GIU - Senza una "profonda" revisione del sistema Ets, il percorso dell'Europa e dell'Italia verso la "deindustrializzazione" è già tracciato. A poco più di un mese dalla riforma del mercato europeo del carbonio, l'appello che all'Ue arriva da Confindustria è quello a mettere in atto modifiche "compatibili" con le esigenze "reali" del tessuto industriale europeo. L'industria italiana "è favorevole alla decarbonizzazione e non chiede misure drastiche o irrealizzabili" ma una revisione che non si realizzi solo in "qualche piccolo aggiustamento", ha avvertito da Bruxelles il vicepresidente con delega all'Energia, Aurelio Regina.
Il grido d'allarme arriva nel corso di una missione nella capitale belga effettuata insieme allo special advisor per l'autonomia strategica europea e il Piano Mattei, Antonio Gozzi, e al presidente di Assocarta, Lorenzo Poli. In un giro di incontri istituzionali - tra cui quello con il vicepresidente della Commissione Ue alla Coesione, Raffaele Fitto -, i rappresentanti di Confindustria hanno messo sul tavolo dell'esecutivo Ue dieci proposte per la revisione del sistema di scambio di quote di emissione, a partire dallo stop alla riduzione delle quote gratuite per i settori Ets in attesa che "lo scenario geopolitico" si stabilizzi. Centrali saranno anche i meccanismi di sostegno della transizione industriale, dalle quote gratuite per le industrie alla compensazione dei costi indiretti: strumenti "essenziali" per evitare che la "decarbonizzazione si trasformi in un processo di delocalizzazione produttiva", ha aggiunto Regina. "Così come concepito" il sistema Ets "aumenta le asimmetrie", ha avvertito Gozzi, evocando un intervento per "ridurle" senza penalizzare i settori "virtuosi". Preoccupazioni ben sintetizzate dal presidente Assocarta, Poli, per il quale i costi dell'Ets hanno raggiunto "il 4% del fatturato medio. Per noi è un costo" che porta allo "spegnimento degli impianti", ha messo in guardia.
L'appello arriva alla vigilia del dibattito orientativo sulla revisione degli Ets - attesa il 15 luglio - che si terrà al collegio dei commissari. Inizialmente previsto per il 24 giugno, il confronto è stato anticipato a questa settimana per fare il punto su una revisione richiesta a più riprese da molte capitali, Italia inclusa. Ma non solo. A preoccupare Palazzo Berlaymont sono le divisioni tra i 27 sui nuovi benchmark aggiornati per il periodo 2026-2030, ovvero i parametri di riferimento con cui si stabiliscono quante quote gratuite di CO2 sono assegnate alle industrie nel sistema di scambio delle emissioni. I Paesi Ue voteranno lunedì 15 giugno sulla proposta dell'esecutivo europeo, per cui è richiesta una maggioranza qualificata. Se da un lato non mancano le divergenze, dall'altro si avverte un forte senso di urgenza legato alla necessità di assegnare per tempo le quote alle imprese. Per questo, i Paesi Ue potrebbero accordare a Palazzo Berlaymont un via libera condizionato, in attesa della più ampia riforma di luglio dell'intero Ets. Il confronto cercherà anche di sciogliere i nodi ancora aperti sull'intera riforma, con i 'nordici' più attenti a non indebolire eccessivamente uno strumento "ben collaudato" di politiche verdi e il blocco di Paesi - con l'esecutivo italiano in testa - formato tra gli altri da Grecia, Repubblica Ceca, Polonia, Romania ed Estonia favorevoli a una revisione più incisiva del sistema.

Bmw, Olivi: idrogeno nuova frontiera dell'apertura tecnologica Il Sole 24 ORE
Bmw, Olivi: idrogeno nuova frontiera dell'apertura tecnologica 9 giugno 2026
Milano, 9 giu. (askanews) - "L'approccio dell'apertura tecnologica è quello che ci ha consentito in questi anni di avere performance di mercato importanti, di mantenere la leadership nel segmento premium e di raggiungere tutti gli obiettivi di CO2. Anche nel 2025 abbiamo centrato i target senza dover dilazionare su tre anni l'obiettivo o acquistare crediti verdi da altri player". Lo ha detto Roberto Olivi, Direttore Comunicazione di Bmw Italia, a margine della presentazione della Bmw iX5 a idrogeno nella sede di Bmw Italia a San Donato Milanese. La nuova Bmw iX5 sarà prodotta sulla piattaforma Neue Klasse nello stabilimento del gruppo a Steyer in Austria dal 2028. "Questo è stato possibile grazie alla nostra apertura tecnologica e agli investimenti importanti fatti, oltre 45 miliardi di euro negli ultimi sei anni, per sviluppare i motori tradizionali, ma anche i motori ibridi plug-in, elettrici. L'idrogeno rappresenta la nuova frontiera". "Con la nuova generazione della Bmw iX5 aggiungeremo la quinta motorizzazione disponibile sul mercato: una soluzione che combinerà la capacità dell'idrogeno di alimentare il motore elettrico con la tecnologia delle fuel cell, offrendo un'autonomia importante, superiore ai 600 chilometri, e la possibilità di rifornire in meno di cinque minuti". "Quindi grande percorrenza, facilità di utilizzo paragonabile a quella dei motori diesel e benzina e un'ulteriore aggiunta che va ad arricchire l'offerta di motorizzazioni da parte del gruppo Bmw".

Confindustria all'Ue, '10 proposte per riformare l'Ets' ANSA
Redazione AnsaBRUXELLES - Giugno 09,2026 - News (ANSA) - BRUXELLES, 09 GIU - Limitare il prezzo delle quote di CO2 agendo sulla riserva di stabilità del mercato, stop alla riduzione delle quote gratuite e revisione dei benchmark fissandoli sulla media (50%) degli impianti europei. Sono queste alcune delle dieci proposte che Confindustria avanza in vista della revisione del sistema di scambio quote Ets attesa a metà luglio da parte della Commissione europea.Le proposte sono state al centro di una serie di incontri istituzionali a Bruxelles del vicepresidente con delega all'Energia, Aurelio Regina, dello special advisor per l'autonomia strategica europea e il Piano Mattei, Antonio Gozzi, e del presidente di Assocarta, Lorenzo Poli, che tra gli altri hanno incontrato il vicepresidente Ue alla Coesione, Raffaele Fitto.Confindustria propone di bloccare la riduzione delle quote gratuite per i settori Ets "in attesa che si abbia una stabilizzazione dello scenario geopolitico". Imperativo anche "limitare gli oneri Ets trasferiti dal termoelettrico a gas sul prezzo dell'energia elettrica", si legge nel documento programmatico. Centrale anche l'introduzione di schemi di sostegno alla decarbonizzazione specifici per i vari settori nonché "l'estensione da 25mila a 50mila tonnellate della soglia di accesso alle misure nazionali equivalenti". Infine, si propone di bloccare l'Ets per il settore marittimo "che rischia di penalizzare i nostri porti fino a quando i carburanti alternativi non saranno adeguatamente disponibili a prezzi competitivi".Nel corso di una conferenza stampa a Bruxelles, è emersa inoltre la necessità per Confindustria di "un ulteriore rinvio del sistema Ets2" che dal 2028 si applicherà a trasporti su strada ed edifici e di scoraggiare, invece, l'estensione del mercato CO2 anche al settore dei rifiuti, in particolare i termovalorizzatori.

First application of new EU freedom of navigation sanctions regime after Iran and Israel exchange attacks overnight.
The latest news and commentary on how the US/Israel-Iran conflict is affecting the global maritime industry and shipping markets. First application of new EU freedom of navigation sanctions regime after Iran and Israel exchange attacks overnight. June 8, 2026 The EU has approved sanctions against Iranian a regional command of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy and two Iranian individuals over Iran’s restrictions on freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The Hormozgan Provincial Command of the IRGC Navy have been sanctioned by the Council of the EU, along with the IRGC Navy’s deputy commander of political affairs, Mohammad Akbarzadeh, and Hamid Hosseini, a representative of Iran’s Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Products Exporters’ Union. The EU said Iran undermines freedom of navigation by attacking vessels and enforcing a toll system in the Strait of Hormuz, alleging that Akbarzadeh threatens to use missiles or drones against vessels transiting the strait. “In his capacity, Hosseini promotes the policy of submitting, undergoing assessment, and paying transit fees to Iranian authorities for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz,” an EU press release said. Related:The rise of AIS ‘trolling’ in the Strait of Hormuz Sanctioned entities are subject to an asset freeze, an EU travel ban, and it is prohibited to provide them with funds or economic resources. The application of sanctions follows a decision on 22 May this year to expand the EU’s sanctions regime on Iranian support forRussia’swar in Ukraine to also target those involved in Iran’s curtailing of freedom of navigation in the Middle East. “Ministers were clear today that Iran's actions are unacceptable,” said Kaja Kallas, high representative for foreign affairs and security policy and vice-president of the European Commission. “In response, EU Member States in Brussels today approved sanctions against the Iranian individuals and entities involved in disrupting transit through the Strait of Hormuz. This is the first time the EU has applied its new freedom of navigation sanctions regime, and where necessary [it] will apply it again.” The announcement comes after Iran and Israel exchanged attacks overnight; Iran said it carried out military action due to Israeli air strikes on Lebanon on 7 March. “Our operation Aspides is making a crucial contribution protecting shipping in the Red Sea.The latest threat by Houthis to target ships also in the Red Seashows how important this mission is,” said Kallas.
