Piracy and Armed Robbery Report | |
| |
Maritime piracy and armed robbery incidents fell to their lowest level since 1992 in the first half of 2026, according to the latest report from ICC's International Maritime Bureau (IMB), released today.
However, IMB warns there is no room for complacency, with crew safety still at risk and a slight resurgence of Somali piracy underscoring the need for continued vigilance.
Thirty-eight incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships were recorded in the first half of 2026, a decrease from 90 incidents for the same period in 2025 and 60 in 2024. | |

Great white sharks are 'already in UK' as they venture further north more than ever | |
| |
Data scientist John Tyminiki says that while great white numbers dwindled between 1970 and 1990, this could be an example of the population βrebuildingβ and βexpanding their rangeβ.
However, itβs not all positive. In fact, the move is part of a wider trend which sees the animals moving towards the North (or South) poles, seeking their preferred temperatures in the face of climate change.

The Absolute Prisma: 60 Fly
A yacht that redefines the Absolute range with new ground-breaking design elements never seen on a Flybridge boat of these dimensions, such as the Ownerβs quarter at the bow and the aft cockpit terrace, free from any fixed furniture elements. As the prisma reveals the several colours through the light, the 60 FLY by Absolute is the Prisma revealing an overturning of perspectives, an evolution for the range and for the owner, too.

THE SMALL MEGAYACHT!
The compactness of the 45 FLY β which gives dynamism and sportiness to this luxury yacht β emphasises the style of Absolute: the air vents integrated into the hull, the lateral character line on the hull side, the windows of the deck cabins, the aft window that joins with the moulding of the access door to the aft cabin. All these stylish features are hallmarks of imposing and prestigious superyachts, just like our little megayacht 45FLY! | |

Recipe of the Week:
Refresh with this easy Limoncello
| |
Ingredients:
- 8 lemons
- 750 ml high-quality vodka
- 1β4 cups granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1β5 cups water (for simple syrup, depending on sweetness preference)
| | | |
Method: Wash and scrub lemons. Use a sharp peeler to peel them, taking care to remove only the coloured part of the skin, not the bitter white pith. In a medium saucepan combine sugar and water and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Add the zest and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool and leave overnight to infuse. Stir the vodka into the mixture and let it macerate for up to 4 days. When you are ready to store the limoncello, strain the mixture through muslin, a paper towel or a coffee filter, into a jug. Store in sterilised bottles and serve chilled from the freezer or over crushed ice. | |
