Yemen's Houthi rebels have announced a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia, raising fears of further disruption to Red Sea shipping. Previous threats have already disrupted Saudi oil exports, with crude loadings through the Bab Al Mandeb strait falling 36 per cent in two weeks. The conflict between the US and Iran continues for a 10th night. US Central Command said it targeted maritime capabilities, command centres, and missile and drone sites, while Iran launched attacks on Kuwait and Jordan again. In Lebanon, the US said pilot zones for the Israeli military's withdrawal from the south of the country have begun. The announcement comes ahead of Lebanese President Joseph Aoun's visit to the White House today. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace has approved a pilot project to house Palestinians in Gaza, in a move that appears to stray from initial plans for reconstruction. And the UAE marks a milestone in its Emiratisation programme as more than 190,000 Emiratis are now employed by private companies, meeting the scheme's targets for the first half of the year.

Sentient Seas: Archaeologies of Seascapes and Maritime Rituals (UP Florida, 2026), published by University Press of Florida (2026), offers a global perspective on maritime cultures, examining how societies across time and space have understood and interacted with the sea. Synthesizing archaeological evidence, historical documents, and ethnographic accounts, Ian McNiven explores maritime traditions from ancient civilizations in the Middle East and Mediterranean to medieval Europe and Scandinavia to contemporary Indigenous communities in the South Pacific. McNiven investigates diverse cultural practices including shipbuilding, the treatment of shipwrecks and shipwreck victims, and maritime resource use, interpreting the evidence through the perspectives of mariners who understood the seas to be sentient and capable of acting with intentionality. He introduces the concepts of “terrestrial seascapes” and “ontological switching” to illustrate how land-based shrines and votive offerings extend maritime cosmologies and maintain a liminal transition from land to sea. By bridging anthropological and archaeological research with transdisciplinary blue humanities scholarship, Sentient Seas approaches seas as spiritscapes, recontextualizing folkloric beliefs about maritime superstitions. Ian J. McNiven is Research Professor of Indigenous archaeology at the Monash Indigenous Studies Centre at Monash University in Melbourne, and a Chief Investigator with the Australian research Council Centre of Excellence for Indigenous and Environmental Histories and Futures. He is coeditor of The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of Indigenous Australia and New Guinea. Learn more about your ad choices.

There is a massive push to revitalize American shipyards, but it's not just about the military—it's an urgent effort to combat the threat posed by weapons hidden in the shipping containers of foreign adversaries. With China currently constructing more than 90% of the world's commercial shipping tonnage while the U.S. builds a mere fraction of a percent, lawmakers warn our national security, and global trade lines are at risk. Indiana Republican Senator Todd Young joins to discuss his bipartisan 'Ships for America Act' and how rebuilding a domestic commercial fleet provides critical "flex capacity" to support the Navy and protect our economy. Plus, Republican strategist and co-founder of South and Hill Strategies Colin Reed joins to discuss how the escalating conflict with Iran and disruptions to the global oil supply could upend the traditional midterm election playbook.

In this episode of CounterPunch Radio, Rebecca Maria Goldschmidt speaks with Seungjoon Lee, a maritime activist and filmmaker based on Jeju Island. Having recently returned from attempting to break the siege on Gaza with the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and being kidnapped by the IOF in international waters, Lee shares his thoughts on the radical possibilities for future maritime direct action. They discuss the current situation on Jeju, where activist communities continue their struggle against militarization and development in Korea, including the world’s fourth-largest weapons company, Hanwha, known as the “Lockheed Martin of Asia.” Seungjoon emphasizes the necessity of an activist practice grounded in the spirituality of place and relationality, and the possibilities in centering water as a collective strategy for our movements. The post Sailing To You: On the Possibilities for Maritime Direct Action w/ Seungjoon Lee appeared first on CounterPunch.org.

304# The Flannan Isles | Britain's Greatest Maritime MysteryIn December 1900, three experienced lighthouse keepers arrived for what should have been a routine shift on the remote Flannan Isles, off the rugged west coast of Scotland. Days later, when the relief ship finally reached the island, the lighthouse was operational... but the men had vanished without a trace.With no signs of a struggle, no bodies ever recovered, and only a handful of clues left behind, the disappearance of James Ducat, Thomas Marshall and Donald MacArthur has become one of Britain's greatest unsolved mysteries. Was it a rogue wave? A tragic accident? Foul play? Or has more than a century of folklore transformed a simple explanation into one of the most enduring maritime legends of all time?Join Gaz and Taylor as they navigate the stormy waters of history, separating documented fact from myth while exploring every major theory surrounding the mysterious disappearance of the Flannan Isles lighthouse keepers. From official investigations and eyewitness accounts to paranormal legends and modern interpretations, this is the complete story of the lighthouse that still refuses to give up its secrets.

Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz are testing more than regional stability—they are challenging the future of global commerce, maritime security, and U.S. strategic credibility — and are provocations that have now effectively ended the ceasefire. This episode of STRAT with retired Marine Intelligence Officer Hal Kempfer examines Iran's alleged violations of post-conflict agreements, including attacks on commercial shipping, coercive maritime practices, and continued pressure on one of the world's most critical energy corridors. The discussion explores how Gulf nations are reassessing their security partnerships, why shifting U.S. military posture is influencing regional diplomacy, and how renewed sanctions and military strikes signal a changing phase in the confrontation. The episode also analyzes the implications of Iranian threats against U.S. leadership, the evolving relationship between Washington and Jerusalem, and the broader risks posed to international trade through strategic maritime chokepoints. From energy markets to global supply chains, this conversation provides a strategic assessment of how events in the Persian Gulf could reshape geopolitical competition, economic stability, and security policy well beyond the Middle East.Takeaways:Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz continue to challenge regional security and freedom of navigation.Maritime disruptions threaten global energy markets and international supply chains.Gulf nations are reassessing long-standing security relationships with the United States.U.S. military repositioning is influencing strategic calculations throughout the region.Renewed sanctions and military strikes signal a tougher American response to Iranian actions.Maritime chokepoints are becoming increasingly important tools of geopolitical leverage.Rising instability could increase shipping costs, insurance rates, and consumer prices worldwide.Strategic competition in the Middle East continues to shape global economic and security policy#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #PersianGulf #MaritimeSecurity #GlobalTrade #EnergySecurity #USForeignPolicy #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #CENTCOM #ShippingSecurity #OilMarkets #NationalSecurity #GlobalEconomy #RiskAssessment #InternationalRelations

À l'échelle mondiale, le transport maritime achemine 80% du commerce de marchandises. Mais le secteur entre régulièrement en zone de turbulences. Le détroit d'Ormuz, qui connecte le golfe Persique à l'océan Indien est au centre des attentions, sous l'effet du conflit au Moyen-Orient. En mer Rouge, surnommée « l'autoroute des mers », les rebelles houthis multiplient les attaques contre les navires marchands. En 2021, c'est l'obstruction du canal de Suez par un porte-conteneurs qui avait paralysé le transport de marchandises. Quant au canal de Panama, il tourne régulièrement au ralenti à cause de la sécheresse. Tous ces épisodes, aussi différents qu'ils soient, rappellent la vulnérabilité de la marine marchande et créent parfois des pénuries ainsi qu'une hausse des prix. Les tensions géopolitiques, les changements sur les droits de douane, les coûts sécuritaires mais aussi les phénomènes climatiques redessinent le commerce maritime. Ainsi, suite au blocage du détroit d'Ormuz, les pays du Golfe ont vu bondir le trafic de camions. Alors que les porte-conteneurs avaient révolutionné le commerce mondial, permettant de transporter tout type de marchandises en grande quantité, le contexte actuel interroge notre manière d'acheminer matières premières et biens de consommation. La conteneurisation a-t-elle encore un avenir devant elle ? Comment la logistique marchande peut-elle s'adapter à des perturbations aussi conséquentes qu'imprévisibles ? Doit-on s'habituer à vivre avec une moindre abondance de marchandises ? Avec : Antoine Fremont, géographe, professeur du Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM), titulaire de la chaire « transports, flux et mobilités durables » François Daniel, délégué général de l'Union TLF Overseas, qui regroupe les entreprises organisatrices de transports aériens et maritimes et les représentants en douane en France. En fin d'émission, Charlie Dupiot nous emmène sur les campus français avec Décalages culturels, une chronique produite par RFI avec le soutien de l'Université Paris Cité. Sur une idée originale de Chae-Yeon Bournel-Bosson du Français facile avec RFI.

The U.S. plans to reduce the number of aircraft for NATO operations, another A-10 lifeline appears, and discussions about restarting C-17 production. Also, owner-produced airplane parts, airport weirdos, a new album from Speed Brake Armed, how the NTSB uses audio spectrograms, lying flat on a broken Polaris seat, and Roman Numerals. Aviation News US Plans Major Cut to Fighter Jets, Warships for NATO Operations in Europe, NYT Reports Citing European officials, the New York Times reported that the U.S. plans to reduce the number of F-16 and F-15E fighter jets from roughly 150 to 100. Maritime reconnaissance aircraft would be cut from 26 to 15, and all eight aerial refueling tankers would be pulled. The New York Times said the U.S. aims to redeploy a missile-launching submarine and an aircraft carrier, along with several warships and jets that join the carrier's missions. One of two groups of bombers previously assigned for Europe's defense may also be reallocated. NATO spokesperson Allison Hart told Reuters, “Historically, there has been an over-reliance on U.S. forces and capabilities.” The U.S. European Command said in a statement that it would “rightsize” its contributions to the NATO Force Model. Congress Throws A-10 Warthog Another Lifeline The A-10 end of life is scheduled for 2030. Depot-level maintenance has stopped, and the 571st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, has ended. The A-10 Weapons School is scheduled to end this year. However, an amendment to the House Armed Services Committee's version of the National Defense Authorization bill seeks to keep the Warthog alive. The amendment calls for the Air Force to keep supporting A-10 training, testing, experimentation, maintenance, and sustainment efforts. Other requirements include preserving lessons learned and operational expertise and maintaining a formal pilot training unit. A-10 Warthog's New Aerial Refueling Probe Is Now Operational In The Middle East The A-10C is now operating in the Middle East with the new probe-and-drogue refueling capability. First demonstrated in early April, it took only six weeks to become operational. Previously, the A-10 could only refuel from a KC-135. The KC-46 was not yet certified to refuel the Warthog due to the “stiff boom” problem, which could damage the receiving aircraft. Now A-10s can refuel KC-46s with the probe or from HC-130s, MC-130s, Marine Corps KC-130s, and KC-130Js from other operators. A-10 with refueling probe. USAF photo. Boeing “Encouraged” By C-17 Production Restart Discussions Restarting C-17 Globemaster III production would be extremely difficult, extremely expensive, but not impossible. There is interest from various operators and from the U.S. Congress, which has asked the Air Force to prepare a formal briefing on the feasibility of acquiring new C-17s. Driving USAF interest is a succession of crises in recent years that have put serious strain on the aircraft, and questions have been raised about the viability of the current plan to keep them flying through 2075. The C-17 is powered by the F117-PW-100, which is the military variant of the PW2000 family (the same engine that powers the Boeing 757). New engine production for the PW2000 stopped in 2016, and the USAF is currently depending on overhauls of existing engines to keep the fleet flying. So the MRO infrastructure, engineering expertise, and supply chain for supporting this engine remain very much alive. In March 2025, RTX announced agreements with JetZero to integrate the PW2040 engine and APU into its blended-wing-body demonstrator. So P&W is actively working on the PW2040 for a new application, which suggests the engine isn’t entirely dormant in their engineering ecosystem. The decision to restart the engine isn't just a P&W decision. The risk-sharing partners, like MTU Aero Engines, have to be on board. There are 222 C-17s in service with the U.S. Air Force today. The last plane was delivered in 2013, and Boeing shut down the line in 2015. Australia, Canada, India, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom operate the C-17. C-17.

Where a certified part is unavailable, owners of certified aircraft can “produce” their own. And they can do that either by making it themselves or by contracting out its production to a suitably qualified supplier. There are rules about quality and the requirement that owner-produced parts be of equivalent specification to OEM parts, but as long as an aircraft owner can put their hand on their heart and assert that those conditions are met, they can supply parts to their maintainer and tell them to install them. See this AOPA guidance. Airport Weirdo Koeby has developed a crowdsourced gallery of airport weirdos, where travelers submit funny photos of strange things they spot in airports. No account is needed; you can just submit your photo, and it will be added to the gallery. It's called Airport Weirdo. New Album release by Speed Brake Armed Pete Buffington tells us about Speed Brake Armed’s new New Age album “Echoes Above the Infinite Sky.” This album takes the listener on a journey of flight from South America, to Spain, to the Cosmos, and back to ancient Greece. Inspired by over 35 years of real pilot experience.

While he has absolutely no actual knowledge about NTSB processes or how they actually use spectrograms, he speculates based on his experience as an audio engineer for over 30 years: “Spectrograms have been a tool I use fairly regularly in production. To me, it mostly comes down to being able to recognize things that are hard to pick out. For instance, if there is some kind of unpleasant noise in the background of a recording, sometimes I can identify it and potentially filter it out, purely by ear. Other times, particularly if it's not very far above the noise floor, it can be very difficult to pick out by ear. In that case, I'll often look at a spectrogram. It's certainly not always helpful, but sometimes there are things that I can pick out visually that I can't pick out audibly… “So I can imagine that in a cockpit recording with a lot of background noise, examining the spectrogram might allow patterns to be detected that would not be obvious audibly. My guess is that they wouldn't be looking at the speech, but rather for indications in sound of what was happening mechanically. “For instance, if there was sound at a particular frequency, happening at a particular interval regularly, that might be an indication of something. That's the sort of thing that you can often see on a spectrogram even if it is audibly buried in the noise floor.” 14 Hours Lying Flat Patrick thinks maybe United could have done better: 14 Hours Lying Flat: United Polaris Passenger Pays $7,400, Gets Just $350 For Broken Seat. A United Airlines passenger has recounted her experience of flying in a faulty Polaris seat. She was forced to sit in a lie-flat position for the entire journey. After complaining, United offered her only $350. The ticket cost $7,388. DCCCXCIV Rob wrote in to say he enjoyed the value that Erin Applebaum brought to Episode 894.

Trusted data is essential for shipping to get the best from the AI revolution, argues Russ Hubbard, Chief Commercial Officer of Veson Nautical. In this podcast, he explains why that is the case and considers the future impact of further AI implementation on maritime companies and their personnel.
Bridget Toomey notes that despite the U.S.-Iran memo of understanding, the Houthis remain a threat, recently firing a drone at Eilat. The group maintains autonomy and does not feel bound by ceasefires. They continue to ban Israelimaritime navigation in the Red Sea, aiming for economic and psychological damage. (13)1958 YEMEN
Kevin Rowlands, Editor of the Royal United Services Institute Journal, outlines the steps to make the Strait of Hormuz safe for shipping after a US-Iran ceasefire deal was reached.
Commercial seafaring, both dangerous and with large amounts of capital at stake, was the source of the risk-management institutions that still undergird the global economy today. A key institution of early modern risk management was General Average, a procedure used to redistribute extraordinary costs arising from a maritime venture between all financially interested parties. For example, should one merchant's cargo be jettisoned to lighten a ship in a storm, the loss would be shared pro rata by the shipper and all the cargo-owners. A risk-sharing practice, different from the risk-shifting of marine insurance which became established relatively late, General Average is still in widespread use. In Managing Maritime Risk in Early Modern Europe: General Average in Law and Practice in Seventeenth-Century Tuscany (Boydell Press, 2025), Jake Dyble explores how General Average worked. It reveals the gap between General Average in law and how it worked on the ground. It shows how General Average partitioned a wide array of business costs, thereby performing a significant role in structuring maritime commerce, managing risk and promoting shipping and trade. In addition, the book discusses how far General Average was a feature of a supposedly ancient, universal, customary maritime law, and contributes to debates about the evolution of institutions in economic development.
