FDA finds 3 types of undeclared alcohol in a baby sleep product sold on Amazon and other online retailers. Testing revealed the Babies' Magic Tea brand gripe water contained approximately 8.3% ethanol, 0.35% methanol and 0.48% isopropanol — none of which appeared on the label. The company warns exposure at recommended doses could cause drowsiness, lack of coordination, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain in infants. Full story here:

⛽ Can tight octane markets keep gasoline prices supported through Q4? Seasonal demand may be slowing, but tight octane supplies, geopolitical disruptions and historically low inventories are keeping #gasoline# markets stronger than usual. In Europe, low Rhine water levels and weak naphtha cracking margins continue to constrain aromatics supplies. Meanwhile, China's MTBE exports remain under pressure from tight #methanol# and butane availability. Despite expectations of softer gasoline fundamentals heading into winter, Kpler analysts Ines Goncalves and Ciaran Tyler highlight why octane tightness could keep prices above typical seasonal levels and create further risks into 2027.

OFAC has sanctioned 17 more tankers in Iran's shadow fleet, covering 13 petroleum and 5 petrochemical designations tied to owners and managers across more than a dozen jurisdictions. Treasury says the cargoes included crude, naphtha, LPG, fuel oil, bitumen, methanol and ammonia, sold into South and East Asian markets. The action "effectively neutralizes the vast majority" of the remaining fleet, though no count of surviving vessels was given. Two container ships, HAKUNA MATATA and PINOCCHIO, were delisted after being sold to non sanctioned, U.S. aligned operators.

The U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) has sanctioned 17 more tankers tied to Iran’s shadow fleet, the network of older vessels that move sanctioned Iranian oil and petrochemicals to foreign buyers. Treasury says the action “effectively neutralizes the vast majority” of Iran’s remaining shadow fleet. It did not say how many vessels are left, and it acknowledged the network is fluid, with ships routinely entering and exiting. The vessels are under 13 petroleum and 5 petrochemical designations tied to their owners and managers, registered across more than a dozen jurisdictions. Treasury says they carried crude, naphtha, LPG, fuel oil, bitumen, methanol and ammonia to markets in South and East Asia. Examples it cites: -SHENZHEN: over 3.5 million barrels of crude since November 2025 -STARWAY: over 3 million barrels of naphtha since 2025 -KANHA: over 3 million barrels of fuel oil since 2021 Treasury also removed two container ships, HAKUNA MATATA and PINOCCHIO, from its sanctions list, saying they left the shadow fleet and were sold to non sanctioned, U.S. aligned operators. Treasury credits the U.S. naval blockade and says Iranian shipments outside it are dwindling. CENTCOM said Monday it has destroyed 13 commercial vessels in 12 weeks, some tied to an IRGC “shadow network.” Source:

The China-developed 3,300-lane-meter high-performance clean-energy Ro-Ro vessel SKIPANES was recently put into operation in Yantai, east China's Shandong Province. With an overall length of 189.5 meters, a molded breadth of 27.2 meters, a designed draft of 6 meters and service speed of 18 knots, the vessel is built for the challenging North Atlantic operating environment and extreme weather. Fitted with methanol-ready specifications, it also incorporates a battery system and shore connection capability, achieving an optimal balance between operational efficiency and low-carbon performance.
