Longnose spurdog sharks, locally known as kalb al-bahr, are sold on Libyan fish markets. Fishermen catch them even though they are carrying eggs, driven by economic necessity.

"This is absolutely a rare window for young workers because the demand is real, funded, and seemingly long-term," Fraser Patterson, CEO of Skillit, stated. "These are not speculative jobs. They are tied to multi-decade investment cycles, and they offer a path to strong earnings, skill development, and stability without requiring a traditional four-year degree."

When the war broke out, we put a Warlike Operations Area Committee in place to address the protection of seafarers in the region. The organization has identified certain maritime routes in the region, including the Arabian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and some parts of the Gulf of Oman as high-risk areas, encouraging ship owners to allow seafarers to terminate contracts if they choose not to operate in those zones.

Aerial views showed multiple containers stacked and on the verge of dangerously teetering into the water, with many in uneven and awkward positions.

The Titanic was one of a trio of similar White Star Line ships completed in the early nineteen-tens. In the video above, Bill Hammack, known on YouTube as Engineerguy, tells the story of not just the Titanic, but also the Olympic and the HMHS Britannic. An engineering professor at the University of Illinois, he found in the campus library issues of the journal The Engineer published between 1909 and 1911 that contain detailed photographs of the construction of both the Titanic and Olympic, sister ships that were built side-by-side.

Recovered CWMs continue to pose worker and food safety risks. Because of ocean drift, storms, and offshore industries, sea-disposed CWMs locations are largely unknown and potentially far from their originally documented dump site. The three incidents exposed at least six crew members to mustard agent, which causes blistering chemical burns on skin and mucous membranes.

The Russian shadow fleet is a ticking environmental time bomb. The question isn't if there will be a catastrophic spill, it's when. Older tankers can suffer from metal fatigue, corroded hulls, and overall structural deterioration, significantly increasing the risk of structural failures at sea.

The nonprofit group that owns it would like to move the SS Red Oak Victory near the visitor center of the Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park, where the cargo ship which has been transformed into a floating museum is likely to draw more visitors. But with a project price tag estimated between $16 million and $20 million and no guarantee of where that money will come from, Richmond councilmembers have decided not to spend the $300,000 needed to study

significant technical and legal shortcomings,

The walkout will begin at 12.01 am on March 5 and end at 11.59 pm on March 6, with union members stating that essential safety functions, such as vessel navigation and emergency response, will be maintained to ensure safety during the strike. The RMT said workers will continue to carry out duties necessary to ensure vessel safety, including maintaining moorings and gangways.

COLUMBIA STREET WATERFRONT DISTRICT - The City Club of New York trustee Tom Fox introduced on Tuesday a new to redevelop the 122-acre "all-maritime" proposal Brooklyn Marine Terminal situated on an industrial waterfront site stretching from Atlantic Avenue to Red Hook on the East River. Fox, co-founder of New York Water Taxi, the precursor to NYC Ferry Service, has numerous civic credits to his name, including spearheading the creation of the Brooklyn-Queens Greenway and co-founding the original Brooklyn Bridge Park Coalition.

Counting Ships is a photography series by Pierfrancesco Celada that examines proximity, movement, and scale within a maritime landscape. The project captures a busy ferry route connecting an island to one of the most densely populated regions nearby. The crossing takes approximately 25 minutes and passes through one of the world's most active maritime trade corridors, where more than two hundred cargo ships transit daily.

We submit that Natia Dzadzama's husband, of Georgian nationality, was unlawfully detained and held by the US navy in Scotland since 7 January, on the marine vessel known as the Marinera and formerly known as Bella 1. The captain's wife is reasonably concerned about her husband's safety and security on the ship, and today we are seeking the intervention of the Scottish court of session in order to protect the legal rights of her husband.

RED HOOK - A SPECIAL EXHIBITION - "Brooklyn Marine Terminal: Past, Present, & What's Next for Red Hook?" - will hold its opening Friday night from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Compere Collective, 351 Van Brunt St. in Red Hook. The display, hosted by Resilient Red Hook in collaboration with Pratt Institute's School of Architecture, features student work that explores alternative visions for the BMT, bringing academic insight, community priorities and design innovation together.

On September 14, Alejandro Carranza, a 42-year-old fisherman, set out to sea from a remote town in La Guajira, Colombia's northernmost province, bordering Venezuela. It was an ordinary fishing trip, in search of tuna and marlin, said Leonardo Vega, a childhood friend and the president of the fishing association Carranza belonged to. But this time, Carranza never returned.

US naval forces have boarded and seized a runaway Russian shadow fleet tanker in the North Atlantic, the latest in a series of moves by Washington against vessels linked to illegal trade in Venezuelan oil. The US European Command said in a statement on social media on January 7 that the tanker, the Marinera, formerly named the Bella 1, was seized in the north Atlantic Ocean between Iceland and the United Kingdom.

(Screengrab via X) Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted dramatic footage of the moment US Coast Guard aided by military assets seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker in the North Atlantic on Wednesday, ending a two week pursuit after a failed attempt to take the vessel on December 20, when the vessel was apparently bound for Venezuela.
