Fighting Sea-blindness for over 20 years. Relax. It's just BlueSky, and my own opinions.
I ask again: Why not? Why is Singaporean "Bak Kwa" not popular in America? Bakkwa is a very yummy delicacy in various parts of Southeast Asia. Flat slices of pork, usually rectangular or slightly irregular, about the size of a postcard.

Finally! The 2024 INSURV report has been published. Note it is dated 1 MAR 2025, the date it was due per Title 10 US Code §8674. But only published OVER one year and two weeks later. Just think how hard the fleet has been worked since the data from this report was collected.

Starboard Maritime Intelligence has identified a false-flagged VLCC — NOVA (#IMO9283801) — transiting west through the Malacca Strait. It is now operating as ARROW (#IMO9212876), scrapped in 2018 as S MISTRAL. The stolen identity and AIS spoofing indicate sanctions evasion.
