Salamis Shipyards on Monday announced the successful completion, on October 10 and 11, of the work for the reactivation of the first two Island-class patrol vessels, as well as all the tests, with the two vessels now docked at the Salamis Naval Station.

The US Coast Guard has renewed Greece's participation in the QUALSHIP 21 initiative for 2024-2025, acknowledging Greece as a Quality Flag State.

The decision is based on the excellent performance of Greek-flagged vessels under US Coast Guard Port State Control over the past three years.

The US government has warned US-flagged ships in the Eastern Mediterranean of an "increased risk to commercial vessels operating in the region" in light of "current tensions and hostilities."

Canadian authorities on Saturday began a probe into the implosion of the Titan submersible, whose disappearance near the wreckage of the Titanic with five men aboard had set off a multinational search-and-rescue operation.

Canadian authorities said Friday they would launch an investigation into the loss this week of the Titan submersible along with five people onboard during a dive to the Titanic wreck.

The Canadian-flagged Polar Prince cargo vessel towed the Titan out to sea last weekend but lost contact with it about an hour and 45 minutes after the submersible launched into the ocean depths.

All five people aboard a submersible missing near the wreck of the Titanic died - likely in an instant - after their vessel suffered what the US Coast Guard said Thursday was a "catastrophic implosion" in the ocean depths.

There are five people in the submarine.
Contact with the small submarine was lost about an hour and 45 minutes after it dived on Sunday. A rescue operation has been launched, but so far there is no sign of the submarine, the BBC reported.
As of Monday afternoon, the crew were thought to have had about four days' worth of oxygen left.

The US Coast Guard said late Monday that its search for a missing submersible vessel near the Titanic wreck had been completed for the day, but that a national guard unit and the company operating the five-passenger underwater mission would continue scouring the surface overnight.

The US Coast Guard has launched a search for 39 people reported missing when a boat capsized off the coast of Florida in a "suspected human smuggling venture."

The Coast Guard in Miami said Tuesday it received a report "from a good Samaritan" who rescued a man "clinging to a capsized vessel approximately 45 miles east of Fort Pierce Inlet."

The US Coast Guard is seeking a 7-person touring helicopter under "extreme" weather conditions, AFP reports.

Coast Guard crews are searching for a helicopter that failed to return from a tour off Kauai's Napali coast in Hawaii late Thursday
