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.

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.

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.

After damaging two submarine cables in the Baltic Sea, the "Yi Peng 3" stopped its voyage through the Baltic Sea and anchored in the sea area between Denmark and Sweden. A Danish pilot boarded the ship on Nov 19 at 07.53 a.m. UTC. The vessel is also being monitored by the Navy's patrol ship 'P535'. The Danish Navy's diving vessel HDMS 'Søløven' was close to the Chinese ship overnight before being relieved by the patrol vessel. However, the diving vessel is still in the area. The German federal police also sent a ship on the afternoon of Nov 20 to support the investigation into the damaged cables. The two submarine data cables affected are the C-Lion 1 data cable, which connects Finland with Germany and lands in Rostock, and the BCS-East-West Interlink data cable, which connects Lithuania with the Swedish island of Gotland. The ship movement data showed that the "Yi Peng 3" was apparently in the immediate vicinity of the places where the cables were destroyed. The ship passed the C-Lion cable on Nov 18 at 3:02 a.m. Two minutes later, at 3:04 a.m., the cable operator company Cinia noticed a defect, and a short time later a total failure. The "Yi Peng 3" was previously sailing near the destroyed East-West Interlink data cable. The AIS data show that the ship passed the cable east of Gotland on Nov 17 at around 9 a.m. A short time later, data traffic also failed here. No AIS data was transmitted by the Chinese ship between the two events between Nov 17 at 6.30 p.m. and Nov 18 at 1 a.m. over a sailing distance of 48.5 miles, so the ship apparently did not reveal its location. The ship also stood out due to unusual movement patterns during this period. On the one hand, it was traveling noticeably slowly in the area of ​​the underwater cables, and on the other hand, later that same day, it came to a complete standstill south of the Swedish city of Karlskrona (Lat. 55.6908 Lng. 15.8000). It only continued its voyage after about an hour. During the period in question, several other ships passed the data cables, including a Russian freighter. They are also currently being monitored by European security authorities. The German government assumes that the two data cables were deliberately damaged. On Nov 18, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock had already stated in a press release with several EU foreign ministers that they were "deeply concerned" about the incident. Europe's security is also threatened by hybrid warfare by malicious actors. The German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius had stated in a joint press statement with his Finnish counterpart that no one assumed that "these cables were accidentally severed." As of November 20, 2024, neither the vessel nor the ISM manager Win Enterprises Ship Management as commercial manager, and the registered ownerNingbo Yipeng Shipping Co. Ltd. appeared on published sanction lists. However, historical trade data showed that the ship has transported Russian thermal coal and coal from Murmansk and Nakhodka on at least seven occasions. In 2022, it experienced two AIS signal gaps in China, each lasting over 20 hours.

On Nov 18 at around 8 p.m. UTC the 'Yi Peng 3' has dropped anchor in pos. 56° 25' N 011° 39' E, and the patrol boat "P525", of the Danish Navy, which had been shadowing the freighter for hours, circled in the immediate vicinity. Another Danish Navy ship, the "HDMS Søløven", had set course for the location and reached it shortly after 11 p.m., where it dropped anchor. It is intended to support divers, for example in clearing mines or ammunition. The "P525" then moved away, but returned to the two anchored ships in the morning, whereupon the "HDMS Søløven" set course south. The Danish patrol ship "HDMS Hvidbjørnen" also set course for the location during the night, but eventually switched off its position data. For many hours, various ships of the Danish Navy followed the Chinese freighte through the Great Belt between Funen and Zealand. Now a patrol boat has apparently detained the ship north of Zealand Itis suspected of being responsible for the damage to the internet cables in the alleged sabotage on the Bluesky Internet short message service. The "Yi Peng 3" had crossed the cables at the points in question during the time when the damage to the C-Lion1 and BCS East-West Interlink Internet cables occurred on Nov 17 and Nov 18. In each case, the ship lost speed and made conspicuous course changes. The ship had set off from the Ultramar Terminal in Ust-Luga, Russia, with a cargo of fertilizer, and stated that its destination was Port Said. The German authorities are in contact with Danish, Swedish and Finnish authorities. The German Federal Ministry of Defense assumes sabotage. The Federal Ministry of the Interior referred to the investigations in Finland and Sweden. The Chinese owner Ningbo Yipeng Shipping has only acquired the ship this month.
