The Malta-flagged 50k ton Greek-owned tanker and Marshall Is-flagged 74k ton American-owned tanker is on fire in the anchorage off Iraq. It is suspected the ships were hit by Iranian unmanned surface vessels (USVs). The ships were involved in a ship-to-ship transfer when hit and rescue craft are on scene. These two tankers carry approximately 400,000 barrels of oil.

I received this video of a tanker that was apparently damaged by a possible drone strike in the Black Sea. Trying to identify the ship. It is not one of the four hit by the Ukranians - Freud, Matilda, Delta Harmony or Delta Supreme - as the house configuration is wrong.

MV Mississippi was operated for ZIM with service from Asia to Port of Long Beach It appears that the aft stack collapsed first, followed by the stack one bay forward of the house. It appears that the lashings had been removed from the containers for offloading, as the ship arrived that morning at Pier G, ITS. No reports of injuries, but cleanup will take time and part of the forward stack has collapsed against one of the Ship-To-Shore (STS) cranes.

The Cook-Island crude oil tanker #EagleS has been boarded by Finnish authorities due to its suspected involvement in cutting cables between Finland and Estonia. The ship is part of the Dark Fleet hauling Russian oil outside the normal transportation network. Over the last year, the ship has largely operated between the Russian Baltic and Black Sea to India and ship-to-ship transfers.

W Sapphire is still anchored just north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. This image shows the #1 hatch cover lying on top of the ship, indicating that the explosion - probably from a methane buildup, along with some coal - displaced it. The ship will need to be surveyed & repaired before it can sail.

Everybody remember when Solong ran into Stena Immaculate and quite a few people said that it could not be an accident...well, it happened again. Behold the bow of MV Maru. She ran into the MSC Anshikia IV, which was anchored off Ramsgate, Britain.

🚨NAVY LOGISTICS 🚨 Everyone seems concerned that the U.S. Navy ships in the Arabian Sea - carrier Abraham Lincoln stike group, 3-ship amphibious group based on Tripoli, and a surface action group centered on approximately 8 destroyers - are running low on food, with some pictures showing the supposed meals on board. To understand how the Navy supplies ships you have to understand how U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command, the fleet of civilian merchant mariner crewed ships work. There are three main considerations - fuel, food, and ammo. 1️⃣Fuel: There are two MSC oilers in the Indian Ocean. They provide alongside Underway Replenishment (UNREP) for diesel fuel for ship population and JP5 for aviation. The oilers can carry between 180 to 150k barrels of fuel. A Burke can carry about 12k bbls of fuel. When the oilers run low on fuel, they will either return to a forward base or meet up with commercial tankers from the US merchant marine, some in the Tanker Security Program. These tankers are equipped to receive rigs from the MSC oilers so that they can transfer fuel to the oilers. The oilers can maintain their forward presence as station oilers while the commercial tankers shuttle fuel. 2️⃣Food & Ammo: There are three MSC dry cargo/ammo ships in the region. To keep the ships supplied one of the T-AKEs will rotate through the ships providing either replenishment at sea or vertical replenishment via civilian embarked AS-332 helos. Another ship would be rotating out a forward base to reload and tag team with the station AKE. The third AKE, along with civilian commercial ships, many of the Maritime Security Program, would shuttle forward supplies from commercial ports or Defense Logisitics Agency depots. 3️⃣ The addition of the Bush Carrier Strike Group will allow the Lincoln to pull back for down time and resupply at a base. Bush has a fast combat support ship (T-AOE) that can carry a mix of food, fuel and ammo on a ship capable of 26 knots. This ship is a one-stop shop for a carrier strike group. The arrival of the Boxer amphibious group will also provide a relief for Tripoli or operate in SE Asia to intercept, divert or board Iranian ships. Now, does this mean every ship on the blockade is supplied to full capacity...probably not. But before everyone leaps to conclusions that sailors are not being provisioned, understand that the US Navy and U.S. Central Command has done this for a long time. At the same time, this logistic system can be more robust and represents a point of vulnerability for operations. MSC has experienced issues with crewing and availability of vessels.
