A Russian Iskander missile hit the Odesa port area on July 3, 2025, when dockworkers were unloading metal from a São Tomé and Príncipe-registered cargo ship, shortly after an air-raid warning was issued in Odesa at 12:47 p.m. Minutes later, the Ukrainian Air Force reported a Russian aerial asset approaching the city. Two people, one dock worker and a truck driver, were killed in the attack with the cluster ballistic missile, which is prohibited, Six people, including port employees and two Syrian crew members of the ship, were injuried. Vessel tracking were showing no ships in the Odesa region, but this is not unusual, as vessels are instructed to turn off their AIS when sailing to the Black Sea ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Yuzhnyy. Port infrastructure, such as gantry cranes, warehouses, and equipment as well as containers and trucks were damaged. Ukrainian officials have stated that the attack is not an isolated incident but a part of a campaign to separate Ukraine from the rest of the world by destroying its export infrastructure. These attacks are threatening global food security and have urgently called for an international response. On March 11, 2025, the Barbados-flagged bulk carrier 'MJ Pinar' was struck while loading wheat, resulting in the deaths of four crew members and injuring to others . On March 1, 2025, the Panama-flagged container m/v 'MSC Levante F' suffereed damage from a missile strike, injuring two port workers.

A Russian ballistic missile strike on the port of Odessa in southern Ukraine killed four Syrian people and damaged a Barbados-flagged cargo ship, on the evening of June 34, 2025, shortly after Ukraine agreed to a US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Russia. At the time of the attack, the ship was loading wheat destined for Algeria. Russia thus continued attacking Ukraine's infrastructure, including ports that contribute to global food security.

Drone strikes caused explosions in the of Port Sudan on May 6, 2025. The attack caused a blaze near the maritime port of Port Sudan, causing a massive plume of black smoke. No casualties have been reported in the incident. The drone strike targeted the main maritime port, the international airport, and a military base within the city.

Another airstrike was made by the US armed forces on the Houthi-controlled fuel port of Ras Isa on April 17, marking a major escalation of the US administration against the Houthi forces for their attacks on passing vessels in the Red Sea. The strike has destroyed multiple oil storage tanks, cratered a jetty at the port, and wrecked many tanker trucks. The Houthis have reported a casualty count of around 70 to 80 people and injuries to around 150-170 people, including port workers, truck drivers, and paramedics.

On March 2, 2025, the port authorities in Hamburg responded to a major oil spill in Kattwyk Port, after a significant leak was reported. 42,000 liters of an oil-water mixture leaked into the Elbe river from a heavy oil tank at the Green Port, a company specializing in petroleum residue management. The spill contaminated more than 90,000 cubic meters of water. The firefighters, water police, and environmental authorities deployed floating oil barriers to prevent its further spread. Aslo a water-air barrier was activated to stop the pollution from reaching the Elbe’s main current. A police aircraft equipped with special cameras was also monitoring the situation.

Onb Feb 18, 2025, a fire broke out in HJHansen's scrapyard at the port of Kolding. 50 firefighters fought the flames throughout the day, which they brought under control on the evening. It was a complicated extinguishing operation, as pouring water on the burning scrap heap did not have much effect, as the water ran away on the surface of the items in the pile. With the assistane of two cranes, the emergency services were able to separate the pile into smaller fractions. The firefighters contnued working on extinguishing the fire during the night, and they have finished only on Feb 19. Packubgup their equipment, took another couple of hours. Six people were injured in the fire when they were hit by flying fragments. Three of these were taken to the hospital for a check-up, and it was found that no one was seriously injured.

A large-scale overnight drone strike by Ukraine struck Novorossiysk on May 3, 2025. damaging the country’s largest grain terminal and several apartment buildings.The attack triggered fires and forced authorities to declare a state of emergency in the port city, which is also home to the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Local authorities in Russia’s southern Krasnodar Krai confirmed that drones damaged three grain storage reservoirs at the KSK terminal, one of the region’s most important export facilities. The attack sparked a fire at the site. The terminal, which can store up to 220,000 tons of grain and handled over 10 million tons in 2024, is operated by the Moscow-based Delo Group.Delo Group, which assured that the terminal was continuing to function in line with internal procedures and guidance from authorities. Drone strikes had also caused fires in nearby areas, including Taman and Anapa. Russian electronic warfare systems had jammed the drones, causing them to fall into residential areas. Public transportation in Novorossiysk was suspended after the strikes, Drones also targeted the Rostov Oblast.

The fires caused by the huge explosion in the commercial port of Bandar Abbas on the morning of April 26 were still spreading two days later. Heat and fire detected by the NASA FIRMS system on the morning of April 29 still showed no signs of any retreat, with the area affected now having spread from the container park to the quays of the port itself. The firefighting services have been overwhelmed, even though reinforcements have been brought in from as far away as Tehran; two days after the initial explosion, some areas of the fire were not being tackled at all, and in other areas confused port workers who should have been evacuated were still wandering around or sheltering in empty containers in what was clearly still a dangerous area.

U.S. strikes on Yemen’s Ras Isa fuel terminal on the Red Sea coast have killed at least 74 people in the deadliest attack since the U.S. started its bombing campaign against the Houthis on April 16, 2025. Health ministry spokesperson Anees al-Asbahi said 171 people were injured in the strikes, according to preliminary figures, with rescue teams continuing efforts to search for victims.

In Rostock, the fire brigade was called to the site of the crane manufacturer Liebherr in the overseas port on the evening of Feb 26, 2025. Parts of a control station and attachments of a crane used to transport bulk goods were on fire. Since the fire was several meters high, extinguishing the flames was challenging. After the power supply was switched off, the fire in the crane driver's cabin was fought with a pipe. The fire brigade's quick intervention prevented the fire from spreading further. There were no injuries during the operation. 40 members of fire and rescue stations 2 and 3 and the Gehlsdorf volunteer fire brigade were on duty. It was assumed that a technical defect had caused the fire. The extent of the damage was still unclear. Investigations were ongoing. The material damage was estimated to be around 100,000 euros.

Demolition work on the collapsed Carola bridge in the city of Dresden was suspended on Feb 18, 2025, after new fractures were discovered in the structure, with shipping traffic on the Elbe river also halted again. An installed acoustic emission monitoring system had detected steel fractures in two sections of the bridge that were not directly affected by its partial collapse on Sep 11, 2024,due to stress corrosion cracks caused by moisture in a section of the structure, leading to inland shipping traffic on the affected section of the Elbe being suspended for five months. The authoritieshad only reopened the passage under the bridge in central Dresden for inland commercial shipping three weeks ago, with free passage in a one-way system planned from Feb 18. However, the passage has been completely closed again since that morning after the measuring system installed to permanently monitor the collapsed bridge signalled movement. The authorities were now waiting for an engineering firm to assess whether the bridge will hold and whether ship traffic may be allowed to pass under it. The dredger 'Domarin' was meanwhile working on the fairway.

One person was killed, and around 35 were injured in an Israeli airstrike on Hodeidah Port on May 5, 2025. The airstrike was in direct retaliation for a missile strike by Yemen's Houthi rebels that landed near Ben Gurion Airport in Israel. Around 20 Israeli fighter jets participated in the airstrike, targeting sites that were being used to support Houthi military activities. The targets included the port of Hodeidah and a cement factory near the port, which has been alleged to be used by the Houthis for the construction of tunnels.

On April 22, 2025,at 4 p.m. a gas leak on a barge on the Houston Ship Channel prompted community alerts. but no air quality threats have been detected. A vapor release occurred aboard a barge of the Kirby Inland Marine at the Targa Resources dock in Galena, Greater Houston, at the at 12510 American Petroleum Road. The leak released an unspecified quantity of butadiene, an industrial gas used for making plastics and synthetic rubber (like car tires). 1,3-butadiene is an EPA-listed carcinogen, an inhalation irritant, and highly flammable, but breaks down quickly in the atmosphere, limiting the time in which it can have an effect. The leak occurred because of a broken valve. It was contained at 10 p.m., and the barge was towed to a safe location belonging to the Kirby Inland Marine for further evaluations. The Targa Resources dock on the Houston Ship Channel has reopened to full service by the U.S. Coast Guard on April 23 at 3 a.-m. No injuries were reported from the gas leak.

German Investors Eye Opportunities in Bangladesh’s Ship Recycling Sector During Visit to PHP Yard in Chittagong https://www.shippinginbox.com/german-investors-eye-opportunities-in-bangladeshs-ship-recycling-sector-during-visit-to-php-yard-in-chattogram/

The damaged and failing Carola Bridge briefly shut down inland shipping on the Elbe at Dresden on the night of Feb 26, the second time in five months that barge traffic has been halted by the risk of falling concrete and steel. On Sep 11, 2024, at about 3 a.m., two spans of the Carola Bridge had collapsed. A light-rail train had just gone by, but it was past and clear of the span, and no one was injured in the collapse. The bridge was one of four main crossings of the Elbe in downtown Dresden, and the loss of the span has been disruptive for businesses and for shipping interests, which use the Elbe to access upriver regions as far as the Czech Republic. The bridge was built 1967-71. It had been inspected properly and passed all routine exams. A post-accident study by the Institute of Concrete Structures at TU Dresden determined that the collapse was caused by hydrogen-induced stress corrosion of the bridge's steel components. This form of corrosion is nearly impossible to detect with conventional methods, the study concluded, as it affects steel elements that are hidden from view. The waterway was shut for four months for demolition and removal, a task made more challenging by the discovery of WWII-era bombs at the demolition site. Later testing revealed that the cause was hydrogen-induced stress corrosion. The surviving bridge spans have similar corrosion problems, and the surviving bridge spans will have to be completely demolished and rebuilt. To ensure safety of navigation in the interim, the city has installed acoustic monitoring systems. Every time the temperature fluctuates, it exerts stress on the surviving steel cables and raises the risk of another critical failure. The city has hired a contractor to complete the demolition of the rest of the bridge on an expedited basis, in hopes of finishing the job by the end of 2025. For now, ships are free to pass through during a limited two-hour slot from 9-11 a.m. each day. They must pre-register, and only necessary crew may be on board during the transit.
