Lisbon port operations: high temperatures, short port stays, and a committed crew keeping global trade moving. Behind the pace, fatigue and pressure are realโ€”making supervision and safety more important than ever. โš“๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ“ฆ๐ŸŒ #ContainerShipping #MaritimeSafety #SupplyChain

ExxonMobil called Venezuela "uninvestable" in January. It's now in advanced talks to return as operator across 6 fields. The same war that closed Hormuz just reopened Venezuela๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ Nearly 20 years after walking away rather than accept nationalization, Exxon is negotiating production contracts with the post-Maduro government. Deal could be announced this month. The package: โ†’ Up to 6 fields across multiple regions โ†’ Including the extra-heavy Orinoco Belt project Exxon ran before expropriation โ†’ Technical teams already on-site under US government escort โ†’ New contracts with international arbitration, improved fiscal terms, operational control โ†’ Existing arbitration claims effectively swapped for new resource access ๐Ÿ’ฐ Why Washington is pushing this hard? USGC refineries are built for heavy sour crude. Venezuela's Orinoco Belt is one of the few places on earth that produces it at scale. Venezuela, under new government, is the fastest available answer for USGC coking capacity. This is strategic supply chain insurance ๐ŸŒ The signal that reprices everything: If ExxonMobil the CEO who said Venezuela was uninvestable 4 months ago signs a 6 field production contract, it resets country risk for the entire basin. ConocoPhillips has expropriation claims too. TotalEnergies, Eni, repsol have legacy stakes. They're all watching this deal closely. Exxon's return is the template. If it works, the broader IOC comeback follows.

Our Safety Culture Conference 2026 in Glasgow brought the industry together to focus on one shared priority: building a culture that learns and lasts ๐Ÿ›Ÿ From practical insights to open discussion, the conversation reinforced that progress in safety comes from continuous learning, strong leadership and shared experience across the industry. Our thanks to our expert presenters and everyone who joined us for helping to make it such an impactful event, all made possible by the support of our sponsors: Caledonian MacBrayne (@CalMacFerries), UK P&I Club (@UKPandI), ABS (@ABSeagle), Shell (@shell) and City of Glasgow College (@CofGCollege). ๐Ÿ‘‰ Read the full event report and key takeaways: ow.ly/PCeF50Z3cub #SafetyCulture #UKShipping

Strait of Hormuz | Vessel Crossings Confirmed Strait of Hormuz transits rose to 10 on 20 May from four the previous day, while the IRGC Navy stated that 26 vessels were underway following coordination and approval procedures with Iranian authorities.ย  Most movements involved commercial west to east traffic, with no new Iranian export loadings observed. Although activity remained broadly low risk, it included two sanctioned vessels and one shadow vessel, while opaque routing patterns picked up d/d. Reports suggest Tehran is preparing a permit based transit framework to present in negotiations, potentially involving vessel vetting, state coordination and safe passage fees. The emerging structure points to a more formalised IRGC managed clearance regime. Mobility is improving incrementally, but access remains conditional, politically controlled and exposed to rapid disruption.
