The Worldwide AIS Network has reported GNSS interference affecting vessels in the Black Sea and Gulf regions. Four ships near Bulgaria transmitted erroneous AIS positions, inaccurately placing them in Lima, Peru. Significant discrepancies were noted, with 1,702 “impossible position jumps” recorded, highlighting the risks of spoofing in maritime navigation.
The NTSB’s “Safer Seas Digest 2025” reviews 49 marine incidents, including the Dali bridge collapse and the Titan submersible implosion. It highlights critical safety recommendations prompted by these tragedies, emphasizing that serious maritime accidents often arise from minor oversights. The report aims to improve safety practices in the industry.
ABB and the CMA CGM Group have joined forces to develop a new parametric roll algorithm for enhanced ship safety. By integrating CMA CGM’s theoretical framework with ABB’s Octopus Marine Advisory System, the algorithm aims to reduce the risk of accidents and damage caused by parametric roll, benefiting container ships and RO-Pax vessels.
