Joining Matt on this week's podcast are: Helio Vicente, employment affairs director, International Chamber of Shipping Anil Devli, chief executive, Indian National Shipowners Association Captain Sundeep Sequeria, chair, seafarers' factors workgroup, Singapore Shipping Association Peter Rouch, secretary general, The Mission to Seafarers Learn more about Lloyd's List Intelligence at https://www.lloydslistintelligence.com/

While merchant ships across the world have been manned by Indian seafarers, officers, engineers and crew for years, recent conflicts have suddenly brought Indian seafarers into focus. A recent flashpoint was when the U.S. attacked three ships allegedly carrying Iranian cargo, on the grounds that they were sanctioned vessels. Three Indian seafarers were killed in those attacks. More recently, when the British detained a Russian-linked vessel that was supposedly under Western sanctions in the English Channel, the Indian captain was arrested. This raises an important question: should Indian seafarers continue serving on these so-called sanctioned ships? Guests: Ajith SukumaranRetd.

Fishing safety does not start with paperwork. It starts with the people who go to sea.In this episode of Sea Views, Julia Gosling and Adam Parnell are joined by Darren Guard of Guard Safety, a New Zealand fishing safety specialist whose life has been shaped by commercial fishing, vessel operations, safety culture, regulation, training, and fisher wellbeing.Darren comes from one of New Zealand's oldest European-descendant fishing families, with nearly 200 years of history in the sector. From growing up around fishing vessels to working with Maritime New Zealand, fishing companies, regulators, and crews, his perspective is built on lived experience rather than theory.This conversation looks at what it really takes to change safety culture in commercial fishing. Darren explains why trust matters, why safety systems have to be simple and practical, and why fishermen are more likely to engage when safety is made relevant to their families, their livelihoods, and the realities of working at sea.The discussion also moves into the mental health pressures facing inshore and commercial fishers, the need to treat fishermen as people and not just as labour, and why sustainable fisheries must also mean sustainable fishers. Darren shares the work behind MarineSAFE, the potential of MarineSAFE Pacific, and how online training, mobile access, and community-based learning could help reach remote fishing communities across the Pacific.From New Zealand's fishing fleet to global safety standards, the Cape Town Agreement, CHIRP confidential reporting, and The Gleam Fishing Channel, this is a practical and deeply human conversation about getting fishermen home safe.In this conversation:• Commercial fishing safety and risk at sea• Darren Guard's fishing family history• Building trust between fishermen and regulators• Practical safety culture onboard• Guard Safety and plain-language safety systems• Fisher mental health and wellbeing• Sustainable fishers, not just sustainable fish stocks• MarineSAFE and online safety training• MarineSAFE Pacific and remote fishing communities• The Cape Town Agreement and international fishing safety• CHIRP confidential reporting• The Gleam Fishing Channel and preserving fishing storiesResources Mentioned:MarineSAFE: https://marinesafe.nzThe Gleam Fishing Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thegleamfishingchannel

This episode of the Lloyd's List podcast is brought to you by Veson. Visit www.veson.com for more information EVERY year, seafarers are held for months on end on suspicion of crimes that ultimately, there is little evidence they had anything to do with. Whether its pollution events or, as is increasingly common, suspected drug smuggling, crew are often the only potential perpetrators investigators can lay their hands on. So is there a lot the industry can do to stop this? Once seafarers do land themselves on the wrong side of the law, how can flag states intercede on their behalf? Joining Joshua on the podcast this week are: Ben Bailey, director of programme, Mission to Seafarers Kiran Khosla, principal legal director, International Chamber of Shipping Eleni Antoniadou, lawyer, Gard Leo Bolivar, country manager, Marshall Islands Registry

This clever card game from IELLO forces you to play with a reverse hand—meaning everyone else at the table can see your cards, but you are left entirely in the dark about your own exact values. And even with a blind hind, you must predict exactly how many tricks you will win or take a safe bet to limit your points won. For those who believe true friendship is only forged in the fires of mutual betrayal, Renegade Game Studios' Diplomacy: The Golden Blade delivers the ultimate test. This iteration strips away the classic board and map, transforming the legendary grand strategy experience into a fast-paced card game. What it gains in speed, it may not bring home the tension that you feel when playing the original. But be honest, if you love Diplomacy, but don't have five hours, then this might be one to consider. Fruit Island is a casual strategy game by the legendary designer Reiner Knizia that balances accessible mechanics for all ages. Set on a quiet jungle island, players step into the fast-moving shoes of monkeys racing to harvest as much exotic fruit while avoiding a gorilla that wants what you have worked so hard for. If you are enjoying those games where you are going against some in a straight up slugfest, then DC: Brave & Bold by Resurrection Games may be something to check out. Instead of a dice pool with random likes like games before, this is a bag builder with chits and the only thing stopping you from pulling them out is your determination. This one is coming out later this year, but if going to Gen Con, be sure to schedule some time for a demo. Altay: Seafarers expands the horizon of civilization-building, taking the core deck-building and area-control mechanics of Ares Games' Altay: Dawn of Civilization and casting them out into deep, uncharted waters. This expansion introduces a brand-new “Forgotten Sea” board, rules for shipbuilding, and naval combat that injects mobility to the map. It introduces the Waterfolk faction, a magical, ocean-dwelling faction that can manipulate actions and navigate the waves without needing ships at all.

Also, eight people are now suspected to have been infected by hantavirus, a rare but severe disease onboard a cruise ship currently moored off the West African island nation of Cape Verde. And, US military strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Pacific Ocean are intensifying, but the public is short on details about the operation. Plus, Scottish fans have come up with a creative way to bypass public transportation gridlock and save some cash during the World Cup by hiring a fleet of school buses.

The International Maritime Organization says it is working with member states and partners on an evacuation plan for seafarers stranded in the Persian Gulf, adding that the plan will be implemented once conditions are safe.

Thousands of seafarers remain stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, which has been under restrictions since the US-Iran conflict escalated earlier this year. SBS Hindi spoke with two Indian-origin maritime workers based in Australia who shared their experiences navigating vessels in the region and concerns about the safety and wellbeing of those at risk of potential attack.

About 20,000 seafarers are stranded in the Persian Gulf as the U.S. and Iran remain in a standoff over the control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Can nuclear power transform global shipping, or does the risk outweigh the reward?In this episode of Sea Views, hosts Julia Gosling and Adam Parnell sit down with Martin King, Nuclear Systems Manager, and Paul Roberts, Senior Engineer at Naval Solutions Ltd, to unpack one of the most complex and debated topics in modern maritime: nuclear propulsion.Drawing on decades of experience in submarine operations and nuclear engineering, this conversation breaks down how nuclear reactors actually work at sea, why they are being reconsidered for commercial shipping, and what still stands in the way.This is not theoretical. It is a real discussion happening across regulators, engineers, and industry leaders today.

IHRB's Francesca Fairbairn speaks to Mark Dickinson, outgoing General Secretary of Nautilus International, and Nathan Smith, a ship inspector with the International Transport Workers' Federation, to find out more about dark fleets. Together they examine the weaknesses in international maritime law that allow dark fleets to thrive, and the human cost borne by the seafarers on board.

Seafarers of old saw kelp as a danger, marking it on maps to avoid it. Today those maps are helping to restore kelp as a friend of the climate. Kelp sucks in carbon so the Tseshat First Nation is working hard to bring it back around the Broken Group Islands in BC.

Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are now at the centre of modern offshore subsea operations, supporting everything from offshore energy infrastructure and subsea cable installation to deepwater inspection, survey work and underwater recovery missions.In this episode of Sea Views, Julia Gosling and Adam Parnell speak with Andy Howie, founder of Pioneer Subsea and former naval submariner, about the real world of ROV operations and the role these systems play across the offshore and maritime industries.ROVs allow offshore teams to operate thousands of meters below the ocean surface in environments where human divers cannot safely work. Today they are used across offshore wind, oil and gas infrastructure, subsea cable networks, salvage operations and scientific exploration.Andy explains how ROV systems operate, what life is really like for operators working offshore, and why the job requires deep technical expertise in hydraulics, electronics and engineering, not simply piloting a vehicle underwater.The conversation also explores the future of subsea robotics, including remote operating centres, satellite connectivity offshore and how advancing technology is changing the structure of offshore operations while still relying on highly skilled technicians and strong safety culture.For anyone interested in offshore engineering, subsea technology, maritime safety or careers in the offshore industry, this episode provides a rare operational perspective from inside the world of ROV operations.Topics discussed• What remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are and how they work • The difference between ROVs and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) • Where ROVs are used across offshore energy, subsea cables and deepwater operations • Typical operating depths and the limits of human diving • The reality of life working offshore as an ROV operator • Technical skills required to enter the subsea industry • How remote operating centres are changing offshore operations • Key safety hazards including high voltage systems, hydraulics and subsea risks • Whether robotics will replace offshore jobs or reshape them • Why speaking up about safety remains critical offshorePrefer to read?

The crucial Strait of Hormuz global shipping corridor marking the entrance to the Persian Gulf, is essentially closed due to the threat of strikes from Iran and elsewhere After a tugboat assisting another vessel in the strait this morning was struck killing at least four seafarers, the Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Arsenio Dominguez, told UN News on Friday that the situation was “deteriorating” and urged ships to avoid navigating in the region. The international shipping and seafarer security chief told Edouard de Bray that Member States need to “find solutions through dialogue in order to de-escalate” to restore free and safe passage.

In this episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the team dives headfirst into the watch media identity crisis sparked by Ariel's recent essay on who actually pays for honest coverage and why everyone seems to want it without footing the bill. The conversation then shifts into the uncomfortable reality of independence, sponsored content, and where the line gets drawn in a very small industry. From there, things take a sharp turn into horology with a deep discussion of a very serious watch that also happens to look suspiciously like Mickey Mouse. Ariel breaks down Breguet's high frequency chronograph history, magnetic escapement technology, and why the brand is simultaneously capable of brilliance and baffling aesthetic decisions.The episode then moves through the not quite LVMH Watch Week releases, including Louis Vuitton's Escale complications explosion, which quickly devolves into an on air world timer geography quiz no one was prepared for. Along the way, TAG Heuer's latest Seafarer revival sparks a spirited debate about tide complications and dog walking use cases, raising the question of whether modern watches sometimes try a little too hard. The group also touches on TAG's ongoing CEO turnover, broader brand direction questions, and why some watch companies appear to be having fun while others absolutely are not.As always, tune into their conversation this week to hear a blend of industry insight, watch nerdery, and exactly the kind of chaos that makes aBlogtoWatch Weekly feel less like a roundtable and more like group therapy with bezels.Check out this week's sponsor - Movado Watches:- https://www.movado.com/ To check out the ABTW Shop where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review!

This week we review some of the ground we have covered on the podcast in 2025, and read an article from our editor, Mark G. Johnston, 'When Preachers Sing the Blues'.  The article reminds us that the charge to preach God's word is often, perhaps always, accompanied by a heavy spiritual burden. While the Lord's grace is sufficient for every preacher, that sufficiency is proved in and through very trying times. May this editorial be a spur to all to pray for ministers and elders, and an encouragement to them to keep going, even in the darkness.    Featured resource:  – Mark G.

Andrew Foster, founder and chief investment officer at Seafarer Capital Partners — manager of the Seafarer Growth and Income Fund — says that it's the "bottom of the first or, maybe, bottom of the second inning with respect to how tariffs will play out," but he notes that emerging markets companies have pushed higher prices back on U.S. consumers, which means the story has a lot of twists and turns left to navigate. Foster also says that domestic investors want to use emerging markets -- and foreign currencies -- to diversify portfolios against what lies ahead, noting that over-exposure to the dollar may lead to greater volatility and risk ahead. Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, heads to the utilities sector and a long-time established fund for his ETF of the Week. The second half of today's show is interviews from Wednesday's Fall Round Table for the Active Investment Company Alliance, which Chuck attended and spoke at in New York City. The conversation starts with Ryan Paylor, portfolio manager at Thomas J. Herzfeld Advisors, which recently converted a closed-end fund from a focus on companies located in the Caribbean Basin — it was ticker Symbol CUBA — to one focused on collateralized loan obligations. Paylor explains the thinking behind the move and how shareholders reacted to such a drastic makeover. Then, long-time activist investor Phil Goldstein of Bulldog Investors discusses the state of shareholder activism and why there seems to be so much less of it than there was just a few years back. Some of the change is good news for consumers — better fund management — while other reasons make it harder for activist moves to succeed.

Piracy in Great Qing surges to a "golden age" during the Qianlong & Jiaqing eras. Corsair Confederations like Zheng Yi Sao's vast-beyond-reckoning Red Flag Fleet, backed by the likes of Vietnam's Tay Son rebels, dominating the South China Sea through organized plunder and shadow economies. Jiaqing's shift to accomodation, while necessary, may expose Qing naval vulnerabilities, paving the way for foreign interventions and imperial decline...

“This is a sea that will take your life,” says Matthew Hollis in this week's episode of The World in Time. “This is the cruel sea. This is the hard sea. And it takes extraordinary skill and good luck to survive it. But we come quickly to realize in this poem that actually there is a different kind of allegorical turmoil within as well. It's one of the things that makes this poem so compelling, it seems to me, because it does have ideas about moral choices, and it does have ideas about belonging that seem as important today as they were then. One of the great things that strikes me with the great parts of the Anglo-Saxon opus is how modern it feels—or rather, to put it a different way, how timeless the cares and concerns and worries of human beings can be. Some of the fears about loneliness, some of the fears about pain, some of the worries about doubt, about making a good life or the life of right choosing, are issues that trouble us in exactly the same way, or challenge us in exactly the same way, as they did this sailor.” This week on the podcast, Donovan Hohn speaks with poet Matthew Hollis about his new translation of The Seafarer, about the world from which this mysterious tenth-century Anglo-Saxon poem emerged, about the history of the poem's improbable survival, and about its rediscovery by the Romantics and the Modernists. Into the conversation the episode weaves audio samples from different translations and different recordings, including one made by Lewis Lapham, another by Ezra Pound, and a third by Matthew Hollis himself.
