We maintain working relationships with major shipping lines, classification societies, port authorities, and maritime regulatory bodies including the U.S. Coast Guard, International Maritime Organization, and flag state administrations.

We maintain a public corrections policy and update stories when new information emerges. Our editorial standards require verification of claims before publication. Since 2007, gCaptain has broken major stories including early coverage of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, the collapse of Hanjin Shipping, the Ever Given Suez Canal grounding, and ongoing coverage of sanctions evasion by shadow fleet tankers.
