The five crew members of the 'Gloria', the former 'Holmefjord', has suddenly been sent back to their respective home countries in the Caribbean, leaving the vessel abandoned and unattended in Bronnøysund. Consequently, the future of the cargo ship—which was intended to sail all the way across the Atlantic to Freeport in the Bahamas—was uncertain. Not long ago, over 20,000 liters of additional diesel were brought on board and stored in a flexible tank in the cargo hold, intended to ensure sufficient fuel for the voyage home. The ship has long been based in Samnanger, where it remained moored at the very head of the Trengereidfjord. The vessel has been stationed there for many years; whenever it set sail, it would pass by the Os area—traversing the Bjørnafjord—before returning. For the time being, it appeared that the ship has been left to its own fate. The departure for the Caribbean was repeatedly postponed while awaiting better weather conditions along the route through Europe. A few weeks ago, this led to the decision to defer the voyage home until the spring. It was currently unknown who would be responsible for overseeing the 'Gloria' during this period, or thereafter. The crew has faced difficulties in receiving their wages, and ongoing berthage fees have remained unpaid for an extended period.

On the night of October 30, 2026, the Swedish police and the national task force conducted a raid on the ' Germanica Hav' off the coast of Gotland under suspicion of "hostile activities." The ship had exhibited highly suspicious behaviour, zig-zagging just outside a Swedish military training area. The vessel was directed to Kappelshamn/Storugns in northern Gotland, where it was detained. The "HAV" fleet, operating with offices in Norway and Kaliningrad and largely Russian crews, has previously been scrutinised by Northern European authorities for alleged grey-zone incidents, including unauthorised drone activities. A border control was carried out, and the travel documents of the Russian crew were checked, which were without complaints. The ship was released again after the controls were completed, and continued its voyage.

Ten Syrian sailors have been stranded for more than three months aboard the 'Militsa', which was abandoned by its owner in the Port of Constanța after arriving at the Port of Agigea to load a cargo of corn. The seafarers have not received their salaries since April and could not return home, because the ship had to be kept with a minimum safety crew. The ten sailors left Syria approximately one year ago and arrived in Constanța in July. In the meantime, the ship was left without a flag and was placed under seizure because of the owner’s debts. Their families in Syria were no longer receiving financial support, and living conditions on board have deteriorated. Two crew members have serious medical problems. One of them was suffering from kidney failure and needed an operation. The ship has also run out of fuel for its generators, while the crew was facing power outages and the approach of the cold season. The authorities, the ship’s agent and representatives of ITF Romania were trying to find a solution for a repatriation of the seafarers. Reducing the crew required the approval of the Romanian Naval Authority, while placing the ship in lay-up would have to be approved by the port administration. Until the permits have been obtained, the sailors were obliged to remain on board.
