Up until a few weeks ago, there was a public facing website that just visually tracked all shipping for anyone to view live.

They closed that feed on the main website, but you gotta figure that if that's been up for years, there's probably tons of APIs and poo poo that reference other forms of that same data, and there's no way they shut that down this quick. They probably never will.

So basically, I think this info is all still public. Though I'd be curious if anyone who actually works in shipping has any more concrete info.

I'm a professional ship knower. I work in construction not operations but the yard I am at is a registered customs clearing site for the country. At any point I can use a web portal to check any ship via it's IMO number and see where it last berthed and it's listed future ports.

Determining ownership is a little bit more complicated usually but anything Ansar Allah is shooting at will be classified by an IACS member as well as a flag authority. Part of class approval is valid ownership documentation and from there unless they are doing Paradise papers poo poo you can just dig through corporate ownership documents until you find the true owner.

I'm not sure about Iran but Egypt, Saudia Arabia, Qatar, Lebanon, Turkey and the UAE will all have access to the same port of call database I do. One disgruntled port worker in an unsanctioned country would be all they need to have a near 100% strike rate.

The cool thing about some of the blue water those ships will have to contend with if they can't use the Suez is you end up in places where sometimes the closest man made structure is the international space station. Also ships are built to classes based on what seas they are expected to steam in and a suezmax or Panamax is nowhere near strong enough in terms of longitudinal bending to do Cape transits in foul weather. If you want a wild ride look at the statistics of how many cargo ships are lost at sea each year already and then extrapolate of they try to take underpowered vessels into the southern ocean.

Yeah there are specific rules about Dutchman management in SOLAS and the ILO shipboard duties rules that explicitly state not to jump in after a man overboard and to use the legally mandatory recovery equipment every ship carries to facilitate rescue.

They were tier one operators so in the interests of high speed low drag they probably had no reserve bouyancy in their kit. They probably weren't strapped in properly while blue water sailing in a collared vessel and just got bounced off like an idiot on takeshis castle and sunk to the bottom.

Brown Moses was definitely on the payroll before the Bellingcat Kickstarter happened. It's just a shame the Leveson enquiry IRC channel seems to be lost to the sands of time. There is a fair whack of stuff that got said in there bm probably wouldn't want being public now.

As a boat knower I'm just going to say the idea of rafting a load of ships offshore then trying to move it towards the shore is free range insanity. Even if it was barges I'm not sure you could find enough tugs that are powerful enough to move the blob and then stop it that don't have far more important things to do. Then you need to find a way to anchor the blob so it doesn't go on a magical mystery tour and the seabed conditions there aren't great for long term anchoring.

The big issue now is also it is going to move into fall in the southern hemisphere, and the Cape of Good Hope is infamous for its storms. It isn't enough to shut down traffic but it is going to probably lead to even higher insurance rates.

Boat knower back again

Unless the cargo ship has been designed for cape transits the intact stability calculations will not have taken into account southern ocean winter sea states. The combination of wave length and amplitude will put cyclical stresses on the longitudinal girders that they weren't engineered to endure and the ship will eventually snap in half somewhere around the middle between watertight bulkheads.

Ships that go into seas that they weren't classified for by an IACS member organisation will be uninsured in the event of damage or loss.

So it's going to do way worse things to trade than just slow down suezmax and Panamax ships trying to transit the Cape.

If they care about having credibility they have to do something big. Declaring they would respond to any new attack 10 fold then just eating poo poo isn't how you build or maintain credibility. See prosperity guardian for an example of losing your credibility.

I apologize for the mistake.

I think about this a lot because one of the most formative movies for my worldview was Schindler's list. Anything is better than repeating the events depicted in that movie. One of the things I remember most about the movie is one of the few color scenes is at the very end where modern day Israelis pay respects in front of a monument. I was under the impression that Israel was founded by Holocaust survivors along with some people who already lived there.

Zionists were murdering Palestinians in the mandate long before Hitler became Chancellor.

The second one is saying that Palestine as a state shouldn't exist (ie everything that isn't Israel should either be Israel or Egypt/Jordan). It's a flag on a condom because AI is an even cruder tool than colourful clay painted on a stone wall.

And yes, it's inscrutable unless you already know how Zionists talk about Palestine. The emotions behind it (bigotry, hatred, contempt) come through but it totally fails to convey why the viewer should share those feelings. Even Israeli propaganda is being ruined by neoliberalism, men and women who only know one lever to pull but don't understand how or why the lever used to work.

The real problem is that being a fascist is, in the extreme, incompatible with having basic empathy or having true theory of mind, which makes dyed-in-the-wool fascists extremely bad at creating (or recognising) meaningful art. Art is about expressing an idea in a way that relies on a shared experience and a desire to share individual experiences, and fascists can neither share nor accept experience with those outside their circle. Everything is for internal consumption, and it exists to echo the fascist's emotions back at themself in a simulacrum of empathy/shared experience.

Italian futurists didn't suddenly stop being a important artistic movement just because they were fascists. Triumph of the will didn't magically become something other than a groundbreaking piece of cinema because some of histories greatest monsters made it.

The idea fascists can't make art is one of the most trite and self congratulatory concepts of the modern left when the truth is that the post war western culture produced the death of creativity. You have things like the Iowa writers workshop and the CIA funding of modern art to thank for the meaningless garbage being shoveled out now.

Israel is perhaps that mix in it's purest form, bereft of any society beyond a collection of gilded Age robber barons.

The US openly defying the ICC will have a long-term impact in that it alienates them from the global south even further. The death of US soft power, which we're seeing rapidly accelerate due to their support for Israel's genocide, means that their only means of interacting with the peripheral nations will be via explicit coercion (mostly through sanctions). With China rising, these countries have at least one alternative and will be able to tell the US to gently caress off.

Once it turned out the Chinese equivalent of swift worked fine in Russia the international roles based order was doomed. Taking away access to Swift was supposed to be an economic kiss of death but it seems the Russian economy is doing fine.

Finished fabricated steel work is around 10k per ton as a useful estimate. That looks about 8mil with of steel work. Another 2 for paint/antifoul/anodes. Then 1/3 of purchase for freight. The anchoring could easily be with more than the pier depending on water depth. All that said I couldn't see that pier costing North of 100mil to get operational. So there you go, 240m of graft.
