In a notable maritime security incident, the tanker 'Prisma' was approached by a group of six to seven assailants on March 11, 2025. The boarding occurred at 02:40 a.m. while the vessel was navigating through the Traffic Separation Scheme in the Singapore Strait, specifically at position 01° 5.6' N 103° 43.03' E.

In a significant move to strengthen its financial position, Greece's Tsakos Energy Navigation (TEN) has finalized the sale of its Suezmax tanker Euronike for a total of $65.2 million. This transaction, part of a five-year sale and leaseback arrangement, includes the accompanying vessel Eurochampion 2004, both of which were built in 2005. The funds from this strategic sale are aimed at reducing the company's debt and enhancing liquidity, effectively adding $16.0 million in cash to TEN's balance sheet. The transfer of ownership took place in late December 2017, marking a pivotal moment in TEN's operational strategy.
