Fleets that treat the next two years as preparation time will be better placed than those that are still waiting for the compliance deadline to force their hand
The European Community Shipowners’ Association (ECSA) has welcomed the earmarking of emissions trading revenues but insists there are more issues to tackle.
The European Community Shipowners’ Association (ECSA) has welcomed the earmarking of emissions trading revenues but insists there are more issues to tackle. July 21, 2026 The European Commission (EC) published its review of the EU Emissions Trading System last Friday and it has received a mixed reception from ECSA. The shipowners’ body responded positively to the EC’s proposal to allot EU Emission Trading System revenues to the European Union and its members. It also welcomed support for the uptake and availability of sustainable fuels. Simplified reporting procedures are another positive step, ECSA said, by reducing the administrative burden. And European offshore operators will now find themselves in a more favourable position. However, ECSA declared that the review fails to address a number of other key issues. There is insufficient support for energy efficiency initiatives and the uptake of clean technologies. The proposal covers only a narrow range of initiatives and should extend to cover all energy efficiency projects that deliver immediate emission savings across the existing fleet as well as the new technologies required for the deployment of new fuels, it said. Related:Lindsey Graham legacy adds urgency to US maritime revival push The derogation of small island, ice-class ships, and outermost regions only extends to 2035 rather than the full term of the system. ECSA said that the derogations should be extended, made automatic, permanent and fit for purpose. Regarding integration with theIMO’swork on a global agreement, ECSA said the proposal falls short of what is needed. A strong clause is needed under which the EU measures are reviewed and withdrawn once a global agreement has been adopted at the IMO, ECSA declared.

At least three commercial vessels have been attacked in and around the Strait of Hormuz in a 48-hour period
The latest news and commentary on how the US/Israel-Iran conflict is affecting the global maritime industry and shipping markets. At least three commercial vessels have been attacked in and around the Strait of Hormuz in a 48-hour period July 21, 2026 A tanker has been hit by an unknown projectile in Strait of Hormuz and earlier attack off the coast of theUAEhas also been reported The UKMTO said that a tanker had been struck by an unknown projectile in the Strait of Hormuz and that according to the company CSO the crew had abandoned the vessel and were currently in a lifeboat. There were no details of damage to the tanker from the attack. The attack took place 8nm northeast of Limah,Omanand was reported at 20:10 hrs UTC on 20 July. UKMTO said the authorities were investigating and there was no environmental impact. Earlier at 23:30 hrs UTC on 19 July a vessel’s steering gear was reported to have been damaged after it was struck by unknown projectile 17nm east of Dibba in the UAE. All the crew of the ship were reported to be safe and there was no environmental impact. The two attacks followed the strike on product tankerKavomaleasin the Strait of Hormuz on 19 July which caused a fire on board and the crew abandoning ship from the Dynacom Tankers vessel.

US Central Command (Centcom) said the latest round of strikes on 20 July hit, “Iranian military command centers, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and air defense systems to degrade Iran's ability to continue attacking commercial vessels flowing through the Strait of Hormuz”. US Centcom said that transits of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz continued and US forces had facilitated around 900 vessel crossings of the waterway since early May. However, transit numbers have fallen off sharply since the MoU between the US and Iran collapsed and hostilities in the region ramped up again. According to an update issued on 20 July byClarksonsResearch Head of Global Research Steven Gordon were back to 90% below pre-conflict levels at an average of 12 crossing per day over the previous five days. The vessels making transits were generally smaller in size and down more than 95% in tonnage terms compared to pre-conflict on 28 February. Crude oil flows have fallen to average of 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd) moving through the Strait compared to 10 million bpd in early July. Gordon said that no “mainstream” VLGCs had left the Gulf in 10 days while no laden Qatari LNG carriers appear to have transited the Strait in nearly two weeks.

Bruxelles congela di fatto la stretta sulle emissioni di metano in atmosfera, associate alle importazioni di combustibili fossili. La Commissione ha infatti raccomandato ai Ventisette, il 20 luglio, di sospendere per tre anni le sanzioni previste per le compagnie petrolifere e del gas che non rispettano i requisiti Ue.

Su posizioni opposte, le organizzazioni ambientaliste, che sottolineano come il metano abbia un potere riscaldante circa ottanta volte maggiore dell’anidride carbonica, ma un ciclo di vita relativamente breve. Di conseguenza, limitare le dispersioni di questo gas serra avrebbe effetti in tempi relativamente contenuti sull’aumento delle temperature medie globali.
In base alla legislazione europea adottata nel 2024, dall’anno prossimo, gli importatori di gas, petrolio e carbone nella Ue devono monitorare e segnalare le emissioni di metano associate alle loro forniture, per limitarle.
La Commissione tiene ferma la scadenza del 2027 per l’entrata in vigore della normativa, ma apre alla possibilità di sospendere, fino alla fine del 2029, l’irrogazione delle multe (che possono arrivare fino al 20% del fatturato annuo) per gli importatori che non rispettano gli obblighi di rendicontazione delle emissioni.

Saudi Arabia’s growing reliance on Yanbu exports leaves crude shipments exposed to Houthi attacks around the Bab el-Mandeb Strait under new embargo threat.
The latest news and commentary on how the US/Israel-Iran conflict is affecting the global maritime industry and shipping markets. Saudi Arabia’s growing reliance on Yanbu exports leaves crude shipments exposed to Houthi attacks around the Bab el-Mandeb Strait under new embargo threat. July 20, 2026 Yemen’s Houthi have announced a maritime embargo againstSaudi Arabia, effective immediately, justifying the action as “an eye for an eye.” In a statement, spokesman for the Houthi breakaway Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree Qasim Saree, said the move was a response to Saudi Arabia’s targeting of Sana’a International Airport in a recent attack, as well as “its unjust and oppressive siege on our dear people for nearly twelve years, plundering our resources and imposing a comprehensive blockade on our ports and airports by land, sea, and air.” During a recent period of relative peace around the Bab el Mandeb Strait connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, the Houthi have repeatedly threatened to close the waterway to international traffic since the start of the war between theUSand Iran. Last week, Reuters reported that Iran had briefed its Houthi allies to close the Bab el Mandeb Strait should the US target Iranian power infrastructure in the ongoing conflict. Related:Crew abandon tanker in Strait of Hormuz, ship hit off UAE The Houthi have demonstrated their ability to target international shipping off Yemen's coast. the group launched a campaign of attacks on ships in late 2023 that reshaped global supply chains as vessels detoured around the Cape of Good Hope to avoid the threat of attack, seizure, or destruction in southern Red Sea. Most container shipping companies still swallow the cost and delay of shunning theSuez Canalroute in favour of the Cape of Good Hope diversion to avoid the Red Sea. While the details of the Houthi embargo were not laid out, any threat to Saudi-linked shipping in the Red Sea on Saudi Arabia’s west coast carries amplified economic risk to the nation due to the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz on its east coast. The pressure hasenergy majors looking for alternatives to keep oil flowing out of the Middle East. Saudi crude oil volumes have increasingly been diverted from the usual Gulf export routes, flowing instead by pipeline for export via the Red Sea port of Yanbu. Since the start of the Iran conflict, Saudi Arabia began loadingVLCCswith crude destined for Asia at Yanbu, but those ships must then travel via Bab el Mandeb — within reach of Houthi attacks. Stunting the flow of Saudi crude out of the Red Sea will inflict further economic damage on a nation that has already seen its crude oil exports fall to lows not seen in decades, while volumes transported to the Red Sea by pipeline for export have quadrupled in the months since the US-Iran war started. For the first half of July, around 75% of Saudi crude and condensate exports were via Yanbu, according to Kpler data. Related:Crew abandon burning Dynacom tanker in Strait of Hormuz While there was a return to near-normality for Saudi oil exports in the Gulf in June 2026 after the signing of a peace MoU between the US and Iran, Hormuz has slammed close once again. Tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz hit fresh lows in recent days as Iran continues to assert its control of the narrow waterway by attacking ships choosing to use the US-administered southern route through Suez off theOmancoast. Kpler reported 30 transits in the period 17-19 July, compared to JMIC's pre-war level of 138 vessels per day. The most recent incident suspected to involve Iran sawDynacom tankerKavomaleasset ablaze off Omanand its crew abandon ship. As of 19 July, there had been 11 Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz since 25 June, according to JMIC figures. Iran’s use of Hormuz has also been cut off by a renewed US military blockade. As of July 19, the blockade had redirected six vessels and disabled one vessel, according to US Central Command.
