Fuel Lightering Continues for Grounded Ro/Ro Golden Ray Response crew sprays sphagnum moss sorbent onto oil-contaminated marshland, October 8 (USCG) By The Maritime Executive 2019-10-11 After a pause earlier this week due to weather, on-water response work has resumed at the site of the grounded ro/ro Golden Ray, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. As of Thursday, lightering operations had removed about 220,000 gallons of fuel from the ship, roughly two-thirds of the total believed aboard at the time the ship went aground. On shore, response teams have sprayed powdered sphagnum moss along the south shore of the Brunswick River in order to absorb spilled fuel and prevent it from spreading in marshy areas. Additional response teams are patrolling the beaches to recover any tar balls which may have come ashore. According to local conservation organization Altamaha Riverkeeper, about six miles of shoreline in the St. Simons Sound have been...

NASA satellite imagery of the incident site reveals a linear discoloration consistent with oil emanating from a moving vessel, and AIS tracking indicates that Sabiti navigated a parallel route. Early on Friday morning, National Iranian Oil Company director Nasrallah Sardashti reported that the tanker Sabiti suffered damage to two oil tanks on the starboard side while transiting off the Saudi port of Jeddah. The attack involved two explosions on the tanker’s starboard side at 0500 and 0520 hours, according to the National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC). Sardashti told Iranian media that the situation aboard the vessel is stable and that the crew are unharmed. An unknown quantity of...

Asia Oil Buyers Grapple with Rising Costs as Tanker Rates Surge October 11, 2019 by Reuters Photo: Shutterstock/Montenegro By Nidhi Verma and Chen Aizhu NEW DELHI/SINGAPORE, Oct 11 (Reuters) – Asian oil refiners are grappling with a jump in global freight rates that shows no sign of abating, driving up costs of crude imports from all regions in the fourth quarter, industry officials said. The cost of shipping crude from the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Middle East to Asia has surged over the past two weeks as companies shunned nearly 300 tankers on fears of violating sanctions against OPEC members Iran and Venezuela. Higher freight rates and a jump in crude premiums after the Saudi oil attacks in mid-September have so far added about $3 a barrel to November-lifting oil cargoes from the Middle East to China, trade and shipping sources said. Oil tanker freight rates are expected to keep...

In addition, pollution is also becoming more and more important for seafarers. In fact, it was identified as the biggest issue that respondents believed they could be...

Cosco Shipping woos forwarders as it clarifies end-to-end strategy :: Lloyd’s List The best way to create an end-to-end transport operation in liner shipping is not to pursue a strategy of integrating ocean transport companies with the wider logistics chain, argues the Chinese state giant’s container shipping head Wang Haimin. He tells the TPM Asia conference that business chiefs need to stop deluding themsleves that removing intermediaries equates to producing an improvement in service 09 Oct 2019 Cichen Shen Cosco Shipping thinks the idea that a few big fish can go about removing all the smaller players that currently occupy the logistics chain is a wholly misguided ambition.
