Ukraine has officially closed its four ports on the Black and Azov Seas that were captured by Russian forces, the Ukrainian Ministry of Agriculture announced on Monday. The ports of Mariupol, Berdiansk and Skadovsk on the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea port of Kherson have been closed "until control is restored", the ministry explained.

All Ukrainian seaports have ceased operations as a result of the Russian invasion at the end of February. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that Ukraine was unable to operate due to the Russian...

Oligarch yachts wanted

Oligarch yachts wanted

Gepostet von | 26 Apr 2022 | , , | 0

marineforum.online has already reported on how interested people are - often gleefully - in the whereabouts of the oligarch yachts. The interest is a hot topic in chat rooms, blogs and on social media around the world. The 19-year-old American Jack Sweeney has now also found a new hobby. He previously fearlessly published the data from Elon Musk's flights in private jets, which is said to have annoyed the capricious Elon terribly. In the course of the Ukraine crisis, the young man tracked the flights of Russian oligarchs. This spotting is a hobby of many, just take a look at Flugradar24.eu. His new hobby is dedicated to the superyachts of the...

Remotely piloted aircraft will be used to search for ships that do not comply with the sulphur limits in the region.

Over the next three months, a drone will measure the sulphur content in the exhaust plumes of ships travelling through the Baltic Sea. The "sniffer" will be able to detect any breaches of the applicable limit values. At the same time, image data will also be collected for hydrographic surveying. The remote-controlled aircraft will take off from the Staberhuk military base...
