The n0n Group's leak deadline for 38 maritime and logistics organisations falls at 13:27 UTC today

The batch, posted on 12 October, names 12 terminal and port operators including BNCT and Pusan Newport Company at Busan New Port, five port IT and EDI providers, 10 shipping lines including Ocean Network Express, and the crane builder ZPMC. Demands run from $2.4 million to $14 million in Bitcoin, and none of the companies has confirmed a breach. Analysts suspect one shared software environment rather than 38 separate intrusions.

**Carnival Cruise Line will move Carnival Adventure and Carnival Luminosa out of Australia in March 2028,** leaving Carnival Splendor in Sydney and Carnival Encounter in Brisbane as its only year-round ships there. The decision follows the government's statement that the cabotage exemption for cruise ships, which runs to the end of 2028, will not be extended again.

Navies and shipyards

**Germany plans a new naval station at Emden,** a few miles from the Dutch border on the North Sea coast, where the navy has had no established presence since the 1990s. Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said the port offers "quick access to the Atlantic Ocean and the far north", and it gives the fleet an alternative to its main frigate base at Wilhelmshaven, about 35 miles to the east. The announcement came alongside the decision to take the TKMS MEKO A-200 DEU frigate order from four hulls to eight, for about $13 billion in total, with construction at two yards in Hamburg.

Fincantieri has moved its BOOST² shipyard innovation programme into an industrial roll-out phase,

with almost $100 million of investment across 13 shipyards over its 2026-2030 plan, including Fincantieri Marinette Marine in Wisconsin. The programme covers collaborative robotics, digital twins, additive manufacturing and supply chain systems, and the new phase was presented at the Castellammare di Stabia yard in Italy.
