Last update: an hour agoMarshall Islands Covid rules easing: The Marshall Islands, which has stayed Covid-free since 2020, is set to cut its Hawaii quarantine from 14 days to 7 for fully vaccinated people in October, and then to 3 days starting January—meaning a longer total quarantine overall, but with more risk of cases showing up inside facilities. U.N. sanctions enforcement in the region: South Korea seized the cargo vessel Prada at Pyeongtaek Port after finding it violated U.N. sanctions on North Korean coal and iron; the ship is linked to a Marshall Islands-based operating company. Shipping security pressures: More ships have reportedly U-turned to avoid the Houthi threat in the Red Sea, while tankers and container traffic keep rerouting as attacks and embargo warnings disrupt global trade. Ukraine-Russia shipping fallout: Maersk temporarily suspended its Chornomorsk service as attacks continue, and drone strikes have hit tankers loading at the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal, disrupting Kazakhstan’s oil exports. Culture and community: King’s Chapel held a conference celebrating Marshallese culture, drawing attendees from across the U.S. West Coast and Hawaii.
