Second Greek tanker just ran the Strait. Dynacom's Smyrni slipped through—AIS off—now signaling off Mumbai. Follows Athina's transit last week . Why? $500,000/day charters. Profits outweigh the missiles . Others hold back. Some see opportunity. Seafarers just see the risk. ⚓






Pentagon zatwierdził prośbę CENTCOM-u o przysłanie posiłków na Bliski Wschód. Do pomocy skierowano jednostkę ekspedycyjną Korpusu Piechoty Morskiej (Marine Expeditionary Unit). To ok. 2,5 tysiąca Marines. Wraz ze wsparciem morskim i lotniczym to będzie łącznie ok. 5 tysięcy ludzi. Małymi kroczkami, ale idziemy w kierunku "boots on the ground".
