The Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), Arsenio Dominguez, has issued an urgent appeal for coordinated global action to free 44 seafarers currently held captive by pirates and armed robbers off the Somali coast.

Dominguez painted a grim picture of the crews’ conditions, describing them as running dangerously short on food and water while living under constant threat of violence. Full story in the comments section.....

Nigerian seafarers have for years paid as much as 20 times the official price to obtain a Seafarers’ Discharge Book, but stakeholders say a new online portal from the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) could finally shut down the racket.
