  6. Everyone’s watching the narrow passages now where too much of the world’s energy moves through too little space. Nothing’s shut, nothing’s broken. But the margins are tightening. Transit decisions are getting heavier. Insurance, routing, timing; each one leaning just enough to matter.

    [“consequences”, fascinating, illuminating and scary frankly!!]
    “The ongoing conflicts in the Middle East are causing substantial humanitarian, economic, and geopolitical impacts and disrupting global trade. While the human and economic effects remain the focus of most immediate concern, a pending ecological crisis is also unfolding. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz on February 28, 2026, stranded an estimated 1,500 ships in the Persian/Arabian Gulf, with hundreds more anchored in the Gulf of Oman. Prolonged stationary periods lead to substantial biofouling penalties for ships, as marine microbes, algae, and invertebrates rapidly colonize and grow on submerged surfaces. This accumulation not only impairs vessel operations but also creates significant environmental risks. A major concern is the high likelihood that these idle ships will facilitate the extensive spread of economically and ecologically damaging invasive species as they re-enter the global shipping network. Given the unprecedented scale and duration of this mass lay-up of ships, conditions are primed for a large-scale, marine bioinvasion “super-spreader” event as regular maritime trade in the region resumes. The combination of extensive biofouling growth and species accumulation, and the sheer number, size, and global reach of affected vessels, has created an immense international biosecurity threat. Here, [they] highlight the biosecurity risks arising from the closure of the Strait and provide recommendations to mitigate them. [They] urge relevant stakeholders worldwide, including ship operators, port authorities, and environmental managers, to prepare now for the backlog of ship biofouling management requirements and to implement appropriate actions to abate this extraordinary biosecurity threat...”

  12. A boat disturbs the water

    As you may have seen over the last few days I was taking photos of the boats moored in Kinsale Harbour. Until another boat came along and sped past, disturbing the scene and rocking everything about. Still a lovely evening there, and it was about time to move on anyway. 🙂

  15. #Germany summons #China’s ambassador after military aircraft lasered in Red Sea

    A #maritime #surveillance aircraft was part of #EU mission #Aspides, which is intended to better defend #civilian #ships against attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

    It was #lasered earlier this month “without any reason or prior contact” by a #Chinese #warship that had been encountered several times in the area, the German Defence Ministry said.

  18. State Dept today designation of #Ansarallah commonly referred #Houthis, as Specially Designated #GlobalTerrorist group, effective 30 days from today. Since Nov Houthis have launched unprecedented attacks against intl #maritime vessels in #RedSea #GulfofAden & #military forces positioned in the area to defend safety security of #commercialshipping. Attacks against intl shipping have endangered #mariners, disrupted free flow of #commerce, and interfered with navigational rights and freedoms.
