Two cruise missiles launched by Houthi rebels have set a bulk cargo carrier ablaze in the Gulf of Aden. The strike, which hit the Ukrainian-owned and Polish-operated bulk cargo carrier the M/V Verbena, caught on fire. One civilian mariner was severely wounded in the attack, before being flown by a US helicopter to a nearby ship for medical treatment. In a statement, the US Central Command said, "The M/V Verbena reported damage and subsequent fires on board. The crew continues to fight the fire." The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack as well as two others on ships in the Red Sea. Ce...

A new agreement between Alaska’s capital city and major cruise lines seeks to cap the daily number of cruise ship passengers arriving in Juneau starting in 2026, though a prominent critic of the cruise industry said on Tuesday the planned limits do not do enough. The agreement, finalised late last week, seeks a daily limit of 16,000 cruise passengers Sundays through Fridays and 12,000 on Saturdays. However, officials said that doesn't necessarily mean there will be that many people every day. Cruise passenger numbers ramped up rapidly after two pandemic-stunted years, hitting a record of more ...

Frigates will not be ready for service until 2025 and 2026. Parts of the ships are being built at the Salamis Shipyards, on the Greek island of Salamis, with the advanced defence tec...

Ship pollution doesn’t tend to hold much attention unless something has gone seriously wrong. When the Marco Polo ferry ran aground off the coast of Sweden in October, the world watched its slow and leaky journey back to port, shedding tonnes of oil that reached more than 500 birds in Blekinge county. But incidents like these are the tip of the iceberg for the Baltic Sea, Europe’s almost entirely closed arm of the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by nine countries. One of the more insidious sources of pollution into this unique body of water comes from a part of ships that is meant to reduce their i...

So far, eleven Houthi attacks have been repelled and 16 ships escorted across the Red Sea by EU vessels. This is the first assessment of Operation 'Aspides', launched less than two months ago to protect trade in the Suez Canal. Since the Israel-Hamas war began, Houthi rebels have launched 80 attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden - some of them with casualties. The Iran-backed rebel group considers Israel an enemy, carrying out the offensive in response to the war. Because of the attacks, merchant ships are taking 10-14 more days to reach Europe and doubling costs to do so. ...

Washington (AFP) - US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Thursday that he is concerned about the presence in the Atlantic Ocean of two Iranian vessels that are reportedly headed for Venezuela carrying arms. "I am absolutely concerned about the proliferation of weapons, any type of weapons, in our neighborhood," Austin said in response to a US senator during a congressional hearing. "And so, I share your concern." Asked by Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal whether the administration "knows exactly what is on those Iranian vessels," Austin was circumspect. "I would like to take that convers...
