An Update on Plans for the U.S.’s Icebreaking Fleet

An Update on Plans for the U.S.’s Icebreaking Fleet

The U.S. is expanding its icebreaking fleet to strengthen Arctic and domestic access, and support commercial shipping, seabed resources, subsea cables and fisheries. Current plans include 1–3 heavy Polar Security Cutters (PSCs), 11 medium Arctic Security Cutters (ASCs), seven Homeland Security Cutter (HSC) HSC-L (light) icebreakers, 11 HSC-Ms (medium) and one additional heavy HSC-H (heavy). But as delays and cost overruns on the Polar Security Cutter (PSC) Program shows, while major opportunities exist for the U.S.

“This is a Different Maritime Revival” says MarAd's Carmel

“This is a Different Maritime Revival” says MarAd's Carmel

Stephen M. Carmel & MarAd are aiming to make this U.S. Maritime Rebuild StickFor anyone who has spent a career in the U.S. maritime industry, the past two years have been unusual by any metric. Maritime has moved from the far margins of federal policy discussions to center stage, with rebuilding American shipbuilding, the Merchant Marine and the maritime industrial base elevated a national priority. Action to shore up the big ship, military portion of the equation has been rapid and measurable.

El Niño's Sting: Bulk Vessel Panama Canal Transits drop 22%

El Niño's Sting: Bulk Vessel Panama Canal Transits drop 22%

"Since the start of July, Panama Canal bulker transits have fallen 22% y/y. Bulkers have faced increased competition for transit slots from other sectors, especially tankers, as the US has boosted energy exports to Asia. El Niño is also expected to lead to lower water levels, which mean transit restrictions and thus heightened competition for available capacity,” says Filipe Gouveia, Shipping Analysis Manager at BIMCO.The canal is commonly used on trade routes between the east and west coasts of the Americas, as well as some routes between the Americas and East Asia or Europe.

The Human Perspective on the Future of Maritime Safety

The Human Perspective on the Future of Maritime Safety

The future of maritime safety will not be determined by a choice between people and technology but will instead depend on how effectively the industry combines them. Capt. Naoki Saito, General Manager and Head of the Cyber Security Ship Management Systems Department, ClassNK fully acknowledges the critical place mandatory procedures occupy in upholding consistent maritime safety, and their role in preserving knowledge from operational experience. Mandatory procedures also ensure clarity on who is responsible for what, he says.

SERF’s UP: Could More Expensive Sustainable Fuels = a Cheaper, Faster Transition?

SERF’s UP: Could More Expensive Sustainable Fuels = a Cheaper, Faster Transition?

SNAME’s M-50 Sustainable Fuels Technology and Research panel has given itself the task to try to figure out if there actually is a preferred sustainable fuel out there.This is a massive rabbit hole effort that does not fixate on the state of the art, but instead is making an attempt to engage all engineering tools, experience, and insight to predict the optimal future.SNAME’s assumption focuses on identifying the optimal fuel that will be universally (or at least near universally) used when direct electric (a connection to the electric distribution net or batteries) cannot work.

Urals Prices Jump to Above $110/Barrel

Urals Prices Jump to Above $110/Barrel

Prices for Russia's flagship Urals crude at its western ports jumped above $110 per barrel on Tuesday, the highest level since April 2026, according to Reuters calculations based on data from two traders.Higher oil prices boost Russia's budget revenues, which rely heavily on oil and gas income, although elevated freight rates are limiting gains for sellers.Urals crude loaded at Russia's ports of Primorsk URL-PRMSK and Novorossiysk URL-NVRSK was assessed at around $110 per barrel on a free on board (FOB) basis on Tuesday

Shell, Equinor Warn Energy Market is Struggling to Offset Disruptions

Shell, Equinor Warn Energy Market is Struggling to Offset Disruptions

Global energy markets face a lengthening period of tight supply and price volatility as the industry's ability to offset disruptions from the Middle East is dwindling, senior executives from Shell and Equinor said on Wednesday.Attacks on oil tankers in the Middle East helped push crude prices towards $110 a barrel this week for the first time since May. Refined products have risen even more sharply, with fuels such as diesel reaching record highs.Still, the market's ability to adapt and absorb supply disruptions since the start of the U.S.

Sofar Ocean Study Links Marine Forecast Gaps with Vessel Rolling

Sofar Ocean Study Links Marine Forecast Gaps with Vessel Rolling

New analysis from Sofar Ocean finds that widely used marine forecasts can miss wave conditions associated with dangerous vessel rolling and cargo losses.Most forecasts tell ships how high waves will be, but height alone doesn't identify the impact on a ship. Wave period and direction, together with the vessel's heading, speed, and loading, can create dangerous rolling even when waves don't appear extreme.Most marine forecasts have limited direct, in-water observations of the full wave field.

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Receives AIP from KR for 50K LPG Carrier

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Receives AIP from KR for 50K LPG Carrier

Korean Register (KR) has granted Approval in Principle (AIP) to a newly developed 50,000-cbm LPG carrier, jointly designed with HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI). The AIP was presented on September 16 at Gastech 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand.LPG carriers require precise control of cargo temperature and pressure to keep LPG cargo stable throughout storage and transport. Achieving both safety and cargo-loading efficiency in LPG transport calls for advanced engineering at every stage of design and construction.
