Blue Carrier 2 Abandoned After Garage Fire Off Mykonos

A fire broke out in the vehicle garage of the Greek Ro-Ro ferry Blue Carrier 2 on September 25 while it was sailing north of Mykonos. All 29 people on board, including 28 crew members and one passenger, were safely evacuated to Tinos with no injuries reported. The vessel, which was carrying 166 trucks and 29 cars, was abandoned after the blaze spread, though firefighting efforts have since contained the fire on deck. A specialized salvage tug is now working to cool the heated steel plates below deck and prevent the ship from running aground.

Bulker Collision Off Singapore Leaves Fishing Vessel Unscathed, Video Shows

A video shows the bulk carrier First Margaux colliding with the Chinese fishing vessel Luqing Yuanyu 108 in heavy traffic in the Singapore Strait. The impact pushed Luqing Yuanyu 108 sideways and flooded its deck, but the fishing vessel survived and reached a berth with no injuries reported, while First Margaux continued westward for about two hours before anchoring. The incident occurred in the busy Traffic Separation Scheme near Sentosa, with AIS tracking indicating both vessels remained in operation afterwards. First Margaux is a Panama-flagged, Japanese-owned 80,000 dwt bulker; Luqing Yuanyu 108 is Chinese-flagged.

US escalates tanker-for-tanker clash with Iran near Hormuz

Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have intensified into a tanker-for-tanker phase: the US has struck Iranian state targets after attacks on commercial shipping and two NITC tankers, while a Liberian-flagged VLCC sits listing off Oman. The broader risk environment includes missile and drone threats, mines, and shifting shipping practices and registries as Gulf-area operators adapt to disrupted routes and price implications.

Two Missing After French Trawler Sinks in English Channel

Two crew remain missing after the French fishing trawler Maranello sank in the English Channel off Plymouth. Three of the five crew were rescued and taken to hospital, with those patients reportedly traveling back to France; a search involving coastguard aircraft, RNLI lifeboats, and multiple ports’ crews was suspended after a second day for further information. The Stradale had earlier recovered three crew members, and one rescued was evacuated by helicopter to Truro while the other two were taken to Plymouth for medical care.

The incident underscores international cooperation in lifesaving at sea.

Old Bulker Breaks Apart and Sinks Near Bandar Abbas

An aging bulk carrier, Luni (IMO 9070711) of 43,000 dwt, split in two and partially sank at an anchorage off Bandar Abbas in the Strait of Hormuz after hull damage—likely from a collision or explosion—leaving the bow and stern protruding above the water. The 32-year-old vessel, flagged in St. Kitts and operated by a Turkish firm with Syrian owners, has a history of port-state deficiencies; no authoritative cause has been released and there is no confirmed link to ongoing hostilities or U.S. strikes in the area.
