gCaptain is the world's most-read maritime and offshore news website, founded in 2007 by Captain John Konrad, a USCG-licensed Master Mariner who spent a decade commanding tankers and drillships worldwide. Our editorial team combines professional maritime credentials with journalism experience. Staff members include licensed deck officers, marine engineers, and reporters who have covered shipping, offshore energy, and naval affairs for major publications. gCaptain is a credentialed member of the Pentagon Press Corps, with direct access to Department of Defense briefings on naval operations and maritime security. 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. Our reporting standards prioritize primary sources: official documents, regulatory filings, court records, and on-the-record interviews with industry executives and government officials. 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.
