A new platform from MACN takes data from over 70,000 corruption reports to provide automated pre-arrival port information to crew
A new platform from MACN takes data from over 70,000 corruption reports to provide automated pre-arrival port information to crew August 19, 2026 The Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) has transformed more than a decade’s worth of corruption reports into an operational database. With support from the Danish Maritime Fund MACN has taken data from over 70,000 reports made by vessel owners and managers to build the Global Port Integrity Platform (GPIP) covering 1,350 ports worldwide. The suite of tools is designed to shipping companies assess risk, prepare crews before arrival, and integrate corruption intelligence directly into operational workflows. According to MACN 75 organisations are already using the platform's dashboard tools, while over 350 shipping companies receive corruption risk information through its pre-arrival communication systems. "Shipping generates enormous amounts of operational data, but historically there has been very limited structured data available to help companies understand and manage corruption risks at the ports where they operate," said Cecilia Müller Torbrand, CEO of MACN. Related:Shipping’s talent shortage is partly self-inflicted "This initiative demonstrates how maritime data can be transformed into practical intelligence that supports better decisions, protects crews, and strengthens integrity across the industry." The platform automatically provides port specific information directly to crews ahead of arrival and further AI enabled applications are expected in future. "The API integration with MACN's corruption incidents database opens new possibilities for us. We're exploring how to transform this real maritime data into actionable intelligence that flows directly to our vessels. It demonstrates how data collaboration can drive meaningful innovation in our industry,” said Uriel Chareca, Head of Group Data & AI, Torm.

The Chinese – Korean joint venture backed MSC’s Gianluigi Aponte has made a huge play in the VLCC sector
The Chinese – Korean joint venture backed MSC’s Gianluigi Aponte has made a huge play in the VLCC sector August 19, 2026 It is little surprise to see Sinokor top the list of secondhand tanker buyers so far this year with it’s aggressive move into the spotVLCCmarket. Sinokor has acquired 73 tankers this year at a total spend of $5.98 billion according to Veson Nautical’s VesselsValue. The shipowner has spent more than five times the next nearest buyer of tanker tonnage this year – Industrial Bank Financial Leasing – spending $1.51 billion on 12 vessels. Sinokor’s $5.98 billion spree is roughly equal to the next eight biggest tanker buyers. Third biggest buyer of secondhand tankers in financial terms wasAbu Dhabi National Oil Co. (ADNOC)which has made waves recently with a series of purchases at high prices. TheUAE-company has spent $987 million on eight vessels this year. It was noted by Veson Nautical that VLCC prices were already at levels not seen since 2008. Rounding out the top five are the Bank of Communications Financial Leasing spending $917.8 million also for eight vessels and Frontline splashing out $875.7 million for seven tankers. Related:Investor excitement at tanker company earnings Looking at the top 10 buyers Veson Nautical's Senior Content Analyst Rebecca Galanopoulos noted that four were Chinese financial leasing houses. “Industrial Bank, Bank of Communications, CMB, and BOC Financial Leasing accounted for over $2.85 billion, meaning a good share of this record activity reflects sale-leaseback structuring rather than straightforward ownership change.” Read more about: Marcus Hand Editor Marcus Hand is the editor of Seatrade Maritime News and a dedicated maritime journalist with over two decades of experience covering the shipping industry in Asia.

Strikes from multiple unknown projectiles leaves vessel a complete constructive loss, according to UKMTO.
Strikes from multiple unknown projectiles leaves vessel a complete constructive loss, according to UKMTO. August 19, 2026 A vessel struck by multiple unknown projectiles in the southern Red Sea is a complete constructive loss due to the damage inflicted, according to UKMTO. Local authorities reported the incident around 40 nm southeast of Al Mokha, Yemen, occurred at 1100 hrs on 17 August. The UKMTO warning did not provide further details on the ship, which it said was unmanned, but advised vessels to transit with caution. Traffic levels through the southern Red Sea and Bab el Mandeb Strait have been lower since the Houthi announced a blockade of Saudi-linked shipping on 20 July. The blockade announcement was followed with multiple attacks on ships in the region, including the deadly attack onTihamahearlier this month, also off Al Mokha port. “Following over 25 cumulative missile impacts and berth fires, Al-Mokha Port remains completely closed to commercial traffic, forcing remaining lower Red Sea commercial logistics to reroute,” said JMIC. Related:Despite pipeline talks, Hormuz will remain key to Iraq’s oil exports The latest advisory note from JMIC put the threat to shipping in Bab-el Mandeb and the southern Red Sea as substantial, while the threat over in the Strait of Hormuz remains severe. Attacks on shipping on 17-18 August highlight the multiple threats to vessels in the waters around the Middle East. On 17 August cargo shipLutufwas hijacked by eight armed pirates of Somalia, then on 18 August a seafarer was killed when bulkerMinoan Dignitywas hit in the Strait of Hormuz.

1070 grandi incendi boschivi
Dal 1° gennaio al 28 luglio 2026, secondo quanto ricostruisce l’aggiornamento dell’Ispra relativo al sistema di monitoraggio degli effetti degli incendi boschivi, sono stati rilevati da satellite poco più di 1070 grandi roghi distribuiti sul territorio nazionale. «La superficie complessivamente percorsa dal fuoco ammonta a circa 74 chilometri quadrati e un’estensione paragonabile a quella dell’intera provincia di Lodi - evidenzia l’Istituto superiore per la protezione ambiente-. il 14% di tutta la superficie bruciata era coperta da ecosistemi forestali, tra cui 37 chilometri quadrati di boschi a latifoglie sempreverdi (leccete e macchia mediterranea) e 24 chilometri quadrati di boschi di conifere (pinete e abetaie)».

Aree agricole e campi
Oltre alle aree forestali, gli incendi hanno interessato principalmente 119 chilometri quadrati di aree agricole (16% del totale bruciato) e 451 chilometri quadrati di aree prative permanenti (61% del totale bruciato).
Mezzogiorno e isole i più colpiti
La maggior parte dei roghi si è registrata nel Mezzogiorno e nelle Isole maggiori. In particolare, Sicilia (510 km²), Calabria (78 km²) e Puglia (48 km²) rappresentano i contesti geografici più colpiti, contribuendo complessivamente al 73% della superficie fino ad ora percorsa dal fuoco a livello nazionale. «Le stesse regioni - sottolineano dall’Ispra - risultano anche le più colpite in termini di ecosistemi forestali bruciati».
I parchi a luglio
A luglio 2026, alcuni parchi nazionali e aree protette sono stati interessati da incendi di particolare rilevanza, che hanno coinvolto ecosistemi di elevato valore naturalistico.
In Toscana 638 casi di peste suina nei cinghiali, il dato più alto d’Italia nel 2026 24zampe
La Toscana sta affrontando un’ondata senza precedenti di peste suina africana, registrando dal primo gennaio 2026 il numero di infezioni nei cinghiali più alto d’Italia, con 638 casi positivi: è quanto emerso oggi nel corso di un incontro online coi sindaci promosso da Anci e Regione Toscana per coordinare le azioni sul territorio: la strategia illustrata prevede l’attivazione dei Gruppi operativi territoriali (Got) provinciali, l’installazione di cartelli con Qr code informativi e l’ispezione delle aree pubbliche per contenere la diffusione del virus.
EPIDEMIA PARTITA DA MASSA, COLPITI DUE ALLEVAMENTI A LUCCA E A PISTOIA
“Il ruolo dei Comuni in questa vicenda, in questa emergenza sarà fondamentale”, ha affermato Susanna Cenni, presidente di Anci Toscana, che ha lanciato un appello all’unità: “La prima cosa che noi dobbiamo evitare è che ogni Comune si muova in ordine sparso”, ha detto proponendo “che le province siano ovunque capofila istituzionale in questa situazione” per coordinare al meglio le attività, come la raccolta delle carcasse. L’epidemia, partita dalla provincia di Massa Carrara, si è estesa a Lucca e Pistoia, arrivando a colpire anche due allevamenti a Comano e San Marcello Piteglio.
L’UOMO NON E’ COLPITO DALLA PSA MA PUO’ FARE DA VETTORE
“L’uomo non è colpito, però può fare da vettore passivo e può portare a spasso la malattia”, ha osservato il commissario straordinario Giorgio Briganti, spiegando che il virus, letale per i suini ma del tutto innocuo per l’uomo, si trasmette facilmente tramite scarpe o ruote di biciclette sporche di fango raccolto nei boschi. Per prevenire la diffusione, “bisogna pulire le scarpe dal fango e dalle cose che si sono raccolte e disinfettarle con un po’ di varichina”, ha concluso. (Ansa)
