In this episode of What The Ship we look at the top five maritime stories as of July 20, 2026. The five topics include how geopolitics are impacting the situation in the Strait or Hormuz between the U.S. and Iran; the Black Sea between Ukraine and Russia; and the reappearance of Somali piracy.
The second topic looks at low water levels in Europe, particularly with regard to the Danube River. The third subject discusses the Chinese decision to establish container service via the Northern Sea Route.
The fourth story details the United Kingdom's case against the master of a Dark Fleet tanker. Finally, we cover a series of stories dealing with the U.S. merchant marine and shipbuilding.
