Yuzhny
Russia’s Defense Ministry showed footage of a Russian Iskander-M missile attacking the cargo ship 'Paresa' 4860 gt (IMO: 9008134) at the port of Yuzhny on Oct 6, 2024, a vessel Russian officials claimed was carrying ammunition from Europe. The Saint Kitts and Nevis-flagged general cargo vessel suffered a direct strike with a significant explosion. To date, no injuries have been reported. British maritime security consultants Ambrey assessed this attack as a further escalation, with vessels calling at Ukraine being at heightened risk of direct attack by Russian forces. Ambrey also assessed it as plausible that Ukraine may retaliate; therefore, vessels calling at Russian Black Sea ports are also assessed to be at heightened risk of physical damage. Having gone all year without any merchant ships coming under attack, the strike marked the third commercial vessel to be hit by Russian forces in the Black Sea in less than a month.

On Nov 18, 2024,, at 2 p.m. LT, a fire broke out aboard the accomodation ship 'Orient Princess' (IMO: 6708109) in Tianjin,. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene and put out the fire by 3:00 p.m. The blaze was caused by sparks that ignited insulation material during ongoing renovation work on the vessel. The 'Orient Express' was formerly known as cruise ship "Yao Hua." However, due to legal complications,it was seized by authorities in 2003. Another Chinese company subsequently took over the ship and converted it to an accommodation vessel, mooring it permanently in the Haihe Bund Park, Binhai New Area, Tianjin City, as a tourist attraction.

Kiel
The Port of Kiel and AIDA Cruises are jointly celebrating the 100th cruise ship call this year to be supplied with shore power as the 'AIDAnova' docked at the Ostseekai Cruise Terminal on Sep 25, 2024. Dr Dirk Claus, the MD of the Port of Kiel, highlighted that Kiel had defined 100 shore power supplies to cruise ships as its benchmark for this year. Now this goal has been fulfilled ahead of schedule and ahead of the season’s close. Almost 70% of all ocean cruise ship calls handled at Kiel this year will make use of shore power supply. While the majority of supplies conducted in recent years accounted for tests and preparations, Kiel has now achieved 85% of the connections accounting for regular supplies - with just a 15% share remaining for tests of further ships wanting to take shore power. According to the Port of Kiel, ships wanting to take shore power usually need between one and three 'trial calls' for tests and preparations before regular supplies can start. During recent years, 22 ships have passed respective testing at Kiel, and 2024 alone saw another ten ships being integrated. Out of this year's shore power supplies, about one third have taken place at Ostuferhafen which saw its facility going into regular operation this spring. Here, among others MSC Euribia and Costa Diadema receive shore power regularly. Up to and including 2025, the Port of Kiel will have invested €55m into its shore power facilities. The port supplies its customers entirely with 'green shore power' purchased on the spot market according to demand. Out of the 100 cruise ship calls supplied with green shore power this year, Carnival Corporation accounts for 54 - out of which 41 calls are AIDA Cruises ships. Felix Eichhorn, President of AIDA Cruises, outlined the mutually beneficial cooperation between the Port of Kiel and AIDA Cruises commenting that Kiel had recognized the potential of shore power supply early on and made corresponding investments. Eichhorn said the milestone call was the result of joint, collaborative efforts to make cruising more sustainable. German ports - with Kiel at the top – have takn a leading position in onshore power supply for cruise vessels. While shore power is increasingly turning into a standard in Germany's cruise hubs, according to recent CLIA figures, only 35 cruise ports worldwide have the facilities in place to offer shore power at present.

Hodeidah
The Port of Hodeidah in western Yemen in areas controlled by the Houthi militants resumed operations late on July 23, 2024, after the Israeli strikes on July 20. Several military targets were hit in the port city. The strike was in retaliation for hundreds of attacks carried out against the state of Israel in recent months. Oil storage facilities havebeen hit, as well as a power plant. The Ministry of Health said that 80 people were wounded in a preliminary toll of the strikes, most of them with severe burns. Other health officials said the strikes killed a number of people and wounded others, but didn't elaborate. Reports indicated significant damage in parts of the port while Houthi officials insisted that the port is now operating normally. Two ships arrived at the port. Both vessels were coming from Djibouti. Records indicated the 'Brother 1' and 'Marsa Zenith' are each managed by companies based in Dubai.At least three of the port’s cranes were damaged and not operational. Five port cranes were reported to be operating. There are also unconfirmed reports of damage to the port’s warehouses.
