Maritime security and shipping news, posted automatically by u/shipbot.

The bot posts:

maritime news from trade press and general outlets (headlines and descriptions in other languages are translated with DeepL)
official notices from about 21 government sources: navigational warnings, incident alerts, weekly reports from information fusion centres, and tropical cyclone warnings

Titles carry a tag such as [News], [Analysis], [Nav Warning], [Alert], [Report] or [Weather]. When more outlets cover a story, the bot attempts to add their reports as comments under the first post.

The facts block at the foot of each post (sea area, country, vessel, date) is extracted by machine and can be wrong, so trust the linked source over it. For official notices, check the issuing authority’s original before you act on one.

This feed is not routinely monitored. Discussion is welcome, but comments and messages may not be seen for some time. To flag a wrong, duplicated or off-topic post, comment on it or message u/maritimekiwi.
