The Safer Seas Digest, issued annually by the Office of Marine Safety, summarizes by casualty type the investigations completed in the previous year. Developed specifically for the marine community, the digest shares the circumstances of the casualties and lessons learned discovered during our investigations. Past lessons learned have discussed issues such as vessel stability, engine room fire containment, risk management, and crew communication—to name a few.

It is our hope that mariners apply the knowledge uncovered in our investigations to mitigate or prevent future marine casualties—and save lives.

What Does an Israel-Iran War Mean for Shipping? | Trade Through The Strait of Hormuz

It means it stops.

Part of our now-reverting to the historical norm. The idea of the ocean as a peaceful, safe place, with order and law respected...and enforced by the United States Navy...is about to be replaced by a new paradigm.

The Pax Americana is ending. Ending from our (our leaders' and our voters') own foolishness, desire for war-for-profit, war without aim and without end. For our reckless spending - for 54 years, we've taken our status as the world's preferred currency, and abused it to destruction. Nothing backing it; print off moar; start moar wars; indulge evil actors...including those from nation-states that once had legitimate standing and claims.

All gone, now; and our own CIA and Davos Man, have launched a domestic Color Revolution.

The Navy as the guarantor of free passage on the high seas, is all but done. Budget/status limitations will soon be imposed/tested.

The Globalist dream of shipping all manufacturing to subjugated Client States, and forcing former powers to accept it...is DEAD. Both for the sudden increased risk/cost of shipping, and the coming collapse of the perceived value of printed fiat.

The world is about to get a lot bigger than it was...shop local. You won't have much of a choice, soon.
