VIDEO | New York, USA: UN chief Antonio Guterres has condemned the attack on a Palau-flagged tanker off the coast of Oman in which three Indian seafarers have been killed, his spokesperson said. On Wednesday, the US struck another Palau-flagged tanker, MT Settebello, killing three out of the 24 Indian sailors on board. "...Notably, the Settebello tanker was hit and a number of Indian seafarers were killed. And that is an attack that was clearly condemned by the Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). And we fully support and second that language," Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric, said at the daily press briefing Thursday. Dujarric was referring to a statement issued by IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez, in which he had expressed his “deep sadness” and “strong condemnation” of the attack on the tanker MT Settebello, sailing under the flag of Palau, off the coast of Oman.

🚨 BREAKING: REPORTS: HOUTHIS STRIKE OIL TANKER IN THE RED SEA Reports are emerging that the oil tanker “Chios Lion” has been attacked in the Red Sea. The vessel — a crude oil tanker — was reportedly struck by an explosive unmanned boat launched by Iran-backed Houthi forces, causing damage to the ship. Initial reports indicate: • The vessel was hit by a surface drone/explosive boat • Damage was reported to the ship’s hull • No immediate casualties were confirmed The Houthis have repeatedly targeted commercial shipping in the Red Sea, part of a campaign that has already disrupted global trade routes and raised maritime insurance costs. If confirmed as part of the current escalation, this would represent a major widening of the conflict — bringing global energy shipping directly into the line of fire.

Maritime security under scrutiny in Denmark Drone incursions prompt tightening of airspace and UAV rules as authorities investigate potential launch platforms at sea. Meanwhile, the crude oil tanker #Pushpa (IMO 9332810) emerges as a high-risk vessel. French authorities are investigating the tanker in connection with a suspected UAV-related offence involving Danish airspace. Sanctioned by both the UK (FCDO) and EU, Pushpa shows classic hallmarks of maritime evasion tactics: ◾Confirmed AIS spoofing: 5 Jul–30 Aug 2024 ◾False identity broadcasts as ‘BORACAY’ ◾Port-call risk and AIS gaps ◾Classification, P&I, and ISM Manager irregularities Dimitris Ampatzidis, Senior Risk & Compliance Analyst, commented: "Pushpa’s activity profile, including confirmed AIS spoofing, identity inconsistencies, and multiple port-call anomalies, matches patterns commonly associated with maritime evasion tactics. When considered alongside UK and EU sanctions and unclear class and P&I status, the vessel presents a credible compliance concern." The #MarineTraffic playback below shows the vessel's latest movements👇

Russia has dispatched a submarine and several warships to escort a shadow-fleet tanker that the United States attempted to seize off the coast of Venezuela and is now pursuing in the Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal reports. The tanker Bella 1 spent more than two weeks trying to bypass the U.S. blockade on Venezuela but failed to dock and load cargo. In December, the vessel's crew repelled a U.S. attempt to board the ship and then sailed into the Atlantic Ocean. It is now being pursued in international waters by the U.S. Coast Guard. The tanker has since re-registered as Russian, been renamed Marinera, and the crew painted a Russian flag on the hull. According to U.S. sources, Russia then asked Washington to stop pursuing what it now claims is a Russian vessel. On Tuesday, Russia's Foreign Ministry said it was following the situation around the tanker "with concern." The ship is currently sailing about 300 miles south of Iceland toward the North Sea. A Russian submarine and other naval assets are moving in to support it.

Hormuz traffic hits five #MarineTraffic data highlights sharply contrasting trends across the region's main maritime chokepoints on 30 July. Strait of Hormuz crossings fell to five from 22 the previous day, a 77% decline. All five vessels used the Iranian Unilateral Scheme, while no Hormuz TSS or Route Undetermined transits were recorded. Bab el Mandeb remained comparatively active with 47 crossings, including 27 vessels entering the Red Sea and 20 exiting. The dataset also identified four sanctioned vessel transits, eight shadow fleet crossings and one AIS dark transit. The figures suggest that while traffic continues through both corridors, routing patterns and operational risk remain closely linked to the evolving regional security environment.

CENTCOM says that, as of July 25, it has redirected 12 commercial vessels attempting to breach the blockade, disabled two that failed to comply, and boarded two to verify compliance. Earlier today, CENTCOM reported that U.S. forces conducted a verification boarding of the Comoros-flagged motor tanker 'Charminar' in the Arabian Sea. According to the command, the inspection was completed and the vessel was cleared to continue its voyage. CENTCOM also states that it disabled the Mozambique-flagged motor tanker Lavine in the Gulf of Oman on July 24 after the crew allegedly attempted to violate the blockade multiple times and ignored repeated warnings. According to the command, the vessel is no longer transiting to Iran.

Strait of Hormuz crossings fell from 10 to eight on 4 August, with seven vessels exiting the Middle East Gulf and only one entering. Five of the eight movements used the Iranian Unilateral Scheme, while no Hormuz Traffic Separation Scheme crossings were recorded. Bab el-Mandeb traffic rose from 25 to 34, including 18 vessels entering the Red Sea and 16 exiting. Yet four dark transits, two sanctioned crossings and six shadow fleet movements indicate that visibility, routing concentration and compliance exposure remain central concerns.

Two critical undersea fibre optic #cables in the #BalticSea—linking Sweden to Lithuania and Finland to Germany—were severed on November 17th and 18th, raising serious security concerns. The Chinese-flagged bulk carrier YI PENG 3 is suspended for its potential involvement. According to reports, the Sweden-Lithuania cable was severed on the morning of November 17th, followed by the Finland-Germany cable the next day. MarineTraffic data reveals that the #YIPENG3 experienced a 7.5-hour transponder signal gap between 15:11:24 UTC and 22:41:44 UTC on November 17th. During this time, the vessel travelled 78 km at an average speed of 10.4 km/h. The laden bulk carrier departed Ust-Luga Anchorage in Russia on November 15th, but its destination remains unreported. The Danish Navy is currently closely monitoring the vessel, and our data confirm that a Danish pilot boarded the ship on November 19th at 07.53 UTC. Dimitris Ampatzidis, R&C Analyst at Kpler, provided further context: "The YI PENG 3 is linked to Chinese interests through its ISM manager (WIN ENTERPRISE SHIP MANAGEMENT), commercial manager, and registered owner (NINGBO YIPENG SHIPPING CO LTD). As of November 20, 2024, neither the vessel nor these entities appear on published sanction lists. However, historical trade data shows the ship has transported Russian thermal #coal and coal from Murmansk and Nakhodka on at least seven occasions. Additionally, in 2022, it experienced two AIS signal gaps in #China, each lasting over 20 hours."
