The latest news and commentary on how the US/Israel-Iran conflict is affecting the global maritime industry and shipping markets. A tanker strike and dwindling Gulf traffic come as Iran could revive Houthi attacks, threatening simultaneous disruption at two maritime chokepoints. July 17, 2026 Structural damage was caused to a tanker near the Strait of Hormuz late on 16 July when it was struck by an unknown projectile. According to a UKMTO warning, the ship suffered minor structural damage in the attack, the crew are all safe and accounted for and the ship is continuing to its next port of call. Ambrey risk said the ship was not transmitting its AIS at the time of the attack, and was hit on its port side. The attack signals the continued danger Iran poses to ships choosing to transit the Strait of Hormuz by theUS-administered southern route near the coast ofOman, a pressure that has led ships to avoid using the route. Intelligence firm Kpler said overall transits of the Strait of Hormuz hit a three-week low on 16 July with just eight recorded transits, seven of which were via the northern route close to Iran’s coast. In its latest operational update on 16 July, JMIC counted 10 Iranian attacks on shipping since 25 June, not including the latest, and maintained a severe threat level for the Strait of Hormuz, meaning an attack is highly likely. “Recent confirmed incidents reinforce that the threat environment remains heightened and warrants extreme vigilance. IRGC attacks, hailing, and routing pressure continue, particularly for AIS-active vessels,” said JMIC.

On 16 July, US Central Command reported that its forces conducted a “verification boarding” in the Gulf. Videos and Images were shared of fully armed US Marines taking off in a helicopter from a naval vessel, fast roping onto the deck ofVLCCWen Yaoand proceeding towards the bridge. Central Command reported that three commercial vessels have been redirected since the blockade was put back in place, and one vessel,Belma, was disabled for non-compliance.Belma was hit with hellfire missiles on 15 Julyfor allegedly attempting to run the blockade after ignoring multiple warnings. Despite the huge risk to seafarers, ships, and cargoes, the US maintains that the Strait of Hormuz is free and open, except to vessels calling Iran. Shipping industry bodies, including theIMO, have called on shipowners and operators, flag states, and administrations to avoid transiting the Strait of Hormuz and exposing seafarers to danger.

As Iran demonstrates its ability to choke shipping volumes passing through the Strait of Hormuz, Reuters reported that Iran is also preparing to exert its influence in the Red Sea and Bab-el-Mandeb Strait once again. According to Reuters, if the US follows through on president Trump’s threat to hit Iran’s power networks, Iran will use its Houthi proxies in Yemen to recommence attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. Houthi attacks began in late 2023, including vessel seizures and sinkings among the 127 incidents, and have fundamentally reshaped global shipping routes since, slashing transits through the Suez Canal and diverting ships on the much longer Cape of Good Hope route. Logistics routes across the Middle East have been reshaped by disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, diverting cargoes over land bridges and pipelines to new import and export terminals. Closure of Bab-el-Mandeb would multiply current logistical difficulties by further limiting sea routes around the region.

For feedback, please contact english@ilsole24ore.com (Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - La Commissione europea propone di rendere più graduale la riduzione delle quote di emissione gratuite dopo il 2030, nel tentativo di sostenere la competitività dell’industria senza modificare gli obiettivi climatici dell’Unione. La revisione del mercato europeo delle emissioni prevede un fattore di riduzione lineare del 3,7% tra il 2031 e il 2035 e dell’1,7% tra il 2036 e il 2040, oltre alla possibilità di utilizzare fino al 2% di crediti internazionali di elevata qualità nell’ultima fase del percorso.

Il commissario europeo per il Clima, Wopke Hoekstra, ha respinto le accuse di un indebolimento della politica climatica. «La nostra ambizione climatica aumenterà nel prossimo decennio, non diminuirà», ha affermato, sottolineando che la nuova traiettoria è «pienamente coerente» con l’obiettivo europeo di ridurre del 90% le emissioni entro il 2040. Secondo Hoekstra, la differenza rispetto al sistema attuale è che «consentiamo una maggiore flessibilità, ma il denaro dovrà essere investito in Europa», trasformando l’Ets in un motore di investimenti per la decarbonizzazione industriale.
