Barzan

On Nov 20, 2023, at 12.20 p.m. the 'Barzan', en route from Yantian to Singapore, rescued 14 crew members of a ship in the waters of the southern Binh Thuan Province after they spent 10 hours stranded in water. At around 3:30 a.m. a vessel of Huynh Van Ban from the central Binh Dinh Province, sank en route to fishing grounds around 92 nautical miles from Phu Quy Island in unfavourable weather conditions with heavy rains, strong winds and rough seas.

Hapag-Lloyd says it will convert one of its vessels to be capable of burning liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkers. Writing in its 1H 2018 report, the world's fifth largest container carrier by capacity said it would modify "a large vessel" in its fleet to use the alternative fuel as part of a pilot project for its IMO 2020 compliance. Hapag-Lloyd said as recently as March that it considered the use of LNG a viable compliance option. The carrier inherited 17 "LNG Ready" vessels as part of last years' merger with UASC.
