Last update: 4 hours agoBlack Sea Shipping Clash: Russia and Ukraine traded fresh claims of strikes on merchant vessels and port infrastructure, with Russia citing a dry cargo hit southeast of Odesa and attacks on fuel storage tanks at Chornomorsk, while Ukraine reported multiple bulkers hit near Novorossiysk—another reminder that grain export routes remain a high-risk corridor for commercial fleets. Maritime Compliance Watch: Kyrgyzstan told the IMO it has not authorized any company or individual to register or operate seagoing ships under its flag, warning that any activity without state approval has no legal consequences—an unusual move as Bishkek pushes its new Merchant Shipping Code and a planned international registry. Working Holiday Visa Shock for Industry: Australia paused new first-time Work and Holiday (subclass 462) applications from 24 countries, leaving San Marino and Türkiye still open and raising uncertainty for tourism and regional employers that rely on seasonal young workers.
