Argus: Early Jones Act waiver fixtures are coming in well above recent domestic benchmarks, signaling a sharp rise in U.S. coastwise shipping costs as foreign-flag tonnage now enters the market. argusmedia.com/en/news-and-in…

@atrupar I know that @SenGillibrand will never see this, but if anyone can boost this at all we *absolutely* need to know if the new AI that was used in selecting targets, @claudeai, played any role at all in that school getting hit. nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…

Satellite company @planet has announced a *14 day delay* to the release of imagery in the MidEast. This will be a huge setback for those trying to verify events in the region.

At the press briefing today, the CJCS, when asked about providing naval escort to shopping in the Strait of Hormuz, said: "on the on the potential, if tasked to escort, we'll look at the range of options to set the military conditions to be able to do that. And then like we always do with every potential mission, come to the secretary and the president with both what are the resources required, what is the command and control required, and what are the risks and how do we mitigate those risks. So, we're looking at a range of options there and we'll figure out how to solve problems as they come to us." ➡️Well, sounds like a lot of staffers will soon be familiarizing themselves with #NCAGS or Naval Control and Guidance of Shipping. (Don't worry if you've have not heard of this. Most US Naval Officers haven't either, in my anecdotal experience.) Refer to the NCAGS page at the NATO Shipping Centre for the documents. There is even a course! shipping.nato.int See also the @DOTMARAD Maritime Security Communications with Industry (MSCI) Web Portal for Advisories and Alerts with specific details for the NCAGS detachment at @CMF_Bahrain maritime.dot.gov/msci/maritime-… Good luck! The economy of the entire world is counting on you. 🤞🏽 @mercoglianos @johnkonrad @MikeSchuler @cdrsalamander @lawofsea @BDHerzinger @brentdsadler @NextNavy
