Remembering September 11th — 25 Years Later

Today marks 25 years since the September 11th attacks. From all of us at New Wave Media, we pause to remember the lives lost and honor the first responders, mariners, and maritime workers who answered the call that day and in the difficult months that followed. 🇺🇸

Over the years, our publications have covered the tragic events of September 11th extensively — including the maritime industry's role in the response and recovery at Ground Zero. In our December 2001 issue of Maritime Reporter, we reflected on the cleanup effort taking place at the site where the World Trade Center once stood. In honor of this solemn anniversary, we invite you to revisit that coverage:

We will never forget.

How El Niño Is Reshaping Port Infrastructure and Operations

Down load the white paper! 81 Billion in global trade is already estimated to be at risk from climate-related downtime across 1,320 of the world’s most critical ports in an average year.

Sofar Ocean, the leading ocean intelligence platform, has released a new white paper examining how the strengthening El Niño event is affecting port infrastructure and operations around the world.

El Niño conditions formed in June 2026 and are strengthening. NOAA expects the event to peak between October and December, with a 97% chance it persists into early spring 2027. Most models point to one of the strongest events on record, with limited analogues in recent history.

Port infrastructure is built against historical averages. Dredging schedules, sailing drafts, tidal windows, mooring thresholds and permit limits are all calibrated to a baseline that a strong El Niño event can move — and the direction of that movement depends on where a port sits.The impact is not uniform. The Americas face higher water and increased surge. The western Pacific faces falling water and compressed dredging windows alongside calmer seas and fewer tropical cyclones. South Asia can see flood and drought risk in the same season, at different ports, while the Atlantic experiences reduced hurricane activity.

Ports are already adapting

A Chilean marine engineering firm replaced manual, three-times-daily wave readings with real-time data from Sofar’s Spotter buoys to inform mooring decisions for oil tankers at an exposed coastal terminal. Its deployment has since grown from one buoy to six across more than 1,800 kilometers of coastline.

The white paper explains how continuous, in situ measurement of water level, currents, sound and water quality — paired with Sofar’s SpotCast hyperlocal forecasting — can give ports a real-time picture of conditions at the berth, channel and boarding station instead of relying on seasonal averages that this year’s El Niño has already shifted.

Securing the Subsea Supply Chain: How Geographic Diversification is Shifting Focus to East Asia’s Only ROV Manufacturer

https://www.marinetechnologynews.com/sponsored/pressrelease/securing-the-subsea-supply-chain-how-geographic-diversification-100341

Explore DWTEK’s ROVs, subsea connectors, and integrated offshore solutions.

For decades, the global remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and subsea interconnect markets have been heavily dominated by a few legacy suppliers. However, recent geopolitical polarization and evolving global supply chain dynamics have exposed severe structural bottlenecks, including rigid lead times, escalating freight costs, and a lack of localized technical support during critical offshore windows in the Asia-Pacific region. For offshore projects operating in volatile environments, reliance on a single geographic sourcing hub represents an unacceptable single point of failure.

In response to this shifting paradigm, DWTEK has emerged as a strategic alternative sourcing hub, positioning itself as East Asia’s only fully integrated subsea developer capable of designing, manufacturing, and commercializing ROVs and critical subsea components under one roof – Click the story and read on…
