A significant explosion occurred on August 9, 2024, at the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, one of China's busiest ports. The explosion took place on the YM Mobility, a Post Panamax container ship operated by Yang Ming Marine Transportation. The ship was docked at the port's Phase III Terminal and was reportedly carrying hazardous materials. The explosion caused a massive fireball and thick smoke, which were visible from a considerable distance. The exact cause of the explosion is still under investigation, and while no casualties have been reported, the incident led to significant damage to the ship and surrounding containers. #china #ningbo #ningboport #explosion #chinaport #vessel #logistics #freightforwarding #supplychain

Important Update: #Explosion at #NingboPort This morning, a significant explosion occurred at Ningbo Port. The blast, reported to have been caused by a fire in a #DG container aboard the #YMMobility vessel, resulted in intense flames and smoke, halting port operations. We are currently awaiting further information from the ship’s operator and port authorities. We are closely monitoring the situation and its potential impact on the global supply chain. We will provide updates as more information becomes available. Here’s the shocking footage from the scene. #NingboExplosion #GlobalTrade #GlobalLogistics #SupplyChain #BreakingNews #RiskManagement #LogisticsCrisis

An interesting piece in today's WSJ. Excellent recap of the the Gemini strategy; however, it does miss a key issue. This strategy increases the amount of transloading so that scope can support the scale of the large vessels. This works -- as long as the transload ports don't become overwhelmed. We saw some of these ports with significant congestion problems earlier this year. Skipping ports like Hong Kong, Busan, Singapore, Antwerp and Le Havre isn't really an issue because of other ports (e.g., Yantian, Rotterdam and Tanjung Pelepas) can easily fill the void.

Chinese shipping giant Cosco Shipping has continued to send vessels through the Red Sea, where the risk of attacks on commercial shipping shows no signs of abating. Two of the company-owned panamax dry bulkers, the 2013-built Sheng Heng Hai and the 2014-built Sheng Ning Hai have been tracked entering the key international waterway being threatened by Houthi militants. Both ships have passed through the Bab el Mandeb Strait, with AIS signals showing they are bound for the Suez Canal. Sheng Heng Hai departed Zhanjiang, China on February 14, and is near Saudi Arabia’s Farasan Island, while Sheng Ning Hai left Shanghai on February 12 and is now approaching Jeddah port. The first ship has also broadcasted an “ALL CHINESE” message via its Automatic Identification System, a method used by many China-linked vessels to minimise assault risks by emphasising their Chinese identity. According to Lloyd's List Intelligence vessel-tracking data, the two geared bulkers had been plying routes between China, and Southeast Asia and India since mid-2023 https://lnkd.in/e8sVM__u

𝙕𝙤𝙢𝙗𝙞𝙚 𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙨: 𝙎𝙠𝙞𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙂𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙨 The phenomenon of "zombie ships" continues to challenge international sanctions and tracking systems. A recent case involves the Singapore-flagged EM Longevity, an oil tanker reported scrapped in 2021 but recently spotted discharging crude at a Chinese port. This vessel, presumed to have taken on the identity of the decommissioned EM Longevity, underscores the evolving tactics in the dark fleet's operations. Initially built in 2000 and scrapped in 2021, the EM Longevity reappeared under its old IMO registration number, now flagged by Eswatini. This country reports misuse of its flag by numerous ships. The tanker’s journey included transporting crude from near Iran to China, a route suggesting dealings with sanctioned oil sources. This event highlights how dark fleet operators exploit loopholes in maritime tracking systems to facilitate the flow of restricted commodities, often to regions like China's Shandong province, where "teapot refiners" heavily rely on such imports. As geopolitical tensions influence market dynamics, these ghostly operations pose significant challenges for international regulatory bodies trying to maintain transparency and enforce sanctions. #InternationalTrade #MaritimeSecurity #Sanctions #OilIndustry #Geopolitics https://lnkd.in/g9Rmgi3G

⚓️Container ships types 🌍The International Shipping Industry shares a major chunk, about 90%, of the global trade in goods. According to the International Chamber of Shipping, there are currently more than 50,000 merchant ships operating in the oceans. Container ships are classified into various categories based on their carrying capacity. Presently, there are seven major types of container ships in service. * Small Feeder * Feeder * Feedermax * Panamax * Post Panamax * New Panamax (or Neo Panamax) * Ultra Large Container Vessel (ULCV). #container #containerships #supplychain #worldtrade #supplychain #vessel #maritime #europe #asia #Baku

The average daily ship traffic through the Panama Canal decreased in May, despite the increase in transit slots through the old locks for Panamax-class vessels. According to the statistical summary from the Panama Canal Authority, the average daily traffic in May was 25.6 vessels, which is 2.7% less than in April. The decrease was due to a reduction in the number of transits of refrigerated and general cargo ships, as well as passenger ships and oil tankers through the old lock system for Panamax-class vessels. Meanwhile, there was a significant increase in demand for the transit of gas carriers and bulk carriers. 📍Traffic in May decreased despite the increase in transit slots.  📍Since mid-May, the Canal Authority increased the quota for Panamax lock transits from 17 to 24 per day.  📍Starting in early June, the daily quota for the new Postpanamax locks was increased by one, and the draft restrictions for vessels passing through them were eased to 13.71 metres.

Temperature rise could be monitored to prevent this type of accidents happening on container vessels, here is the link to Consilium TMS system which detects any temperature rise in containers: https://lnkd.in/gJHbYsrb
