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."

"Sono felice di poter rappresentare il fatto di non dover scegliere tra l'essere una ministra presente ed essere una madre presente", ha dichiarato all'arrivo, affermando che questa "è una delle cose che rende l'Europa un bel posto dove vivere, dove abbiamo la possibilità di partecipare alle riunioni e essere presenti" per la propria famiglia. Pourmokhtari è tornata a svolgere le sue funzioni il 15 giugno, dopo un periodo di congedo parentale iniziato il 2 marzo.

Sostenibilità nelle filiere dello spettacolo: l'Osservatorio Spettacolo e Ambiente presenta il bilancio dei primi due anni di attività, che evidenzia una crescita delle produzioni cinematografiche certificate sul piano ambientale e numerosi interventi di efficientamento energetico realizzati da sale cinematografiche e teatri in tutta Italia. I risultati saranno anche al centro dell'incontro in programma a Roma il 26 giugno alle 21.00 nell'arena "Notti di Cinema", la rassegna estiva promossa da Anec Lazio "che ogni anno trasforma la storica Piazza Vittorio in uno dei principali spazi di cinema all'aperto della Capitale" si spiega in una nota.Una serata "di riflessione e condivisione ma anche di cultura e intrattenimento", grazie alla presenza del regista Riccardo Milani, che presenterà il suo film "La vita va così". L'opera, "caratterizzata da leggerezza e spirito critico, si sposa perfettamente con l'impegno del progetto nel coniugare contenuti sociali e intrattenimento popolare" si aggiunge. Con La vita va così "ho voluto raccontare il doloroso conflitto tra la necessità del lavoro e la salvaguardia del nostro prezioso territorio - spiega Milani -. Non dobbiamo rassegnarci al ricatto occupazionale: è urgente promuovere uno sviluppo etico e rispettoso di ogni identità locale. Il mio pastore sardo è il simbolo di chi resiste, di chi lotta per la propria terra e sono contento se il mio cinema possa essere d'ispirazione ad avere maggiore cura dell'ambiente e delle persone che ci circondano".Con il regista, interverranno Marco Gisotti, direttore scientifico dell'Osservatorio Spettacolo e Ambiente, e Massimo Arcangeli, direttore generale Anec Lazio. "L'Osservatorio ha dimostrato in circa due anni di attività una fortissima convergenza di temi e di pratiche della nostra industria dello spettacolo verso la sostenibilità ambientale -spiega Gisotti - .Non solo opere di registi e registe mainstream come Milani, Virzì, Rohrwacher o Delpero hanno dimostrato nelle loro opere un sentimento diffuso di ritorno alle origini, di tutela del patrimonio storico-ambientale e una preoccupazione per la crisi ambientale, ma l'industria del cinema stessa ha aumentato il numero di opere con certificazione ambientale e ben 270 sale cinematografiche e 363 teatri hanno realizzato interventi di efficientamento energetico anche grazie ai fondi del Pnrr".L'Osservatorio Spettacolo e Ambiente è un progetto realizzato nell'ambito del Next Generation EU. Partecipato da Anec Lazio (capofila), Green Cross Italia e Atip - Associazione Teatri Italiani Privati, il progetto è finanziato dall'Unione europea - NextGenerationEu attraverso il Ministero della cultura - Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea.

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.
