Asociación Asturiana de Capitanes de la Marina Mercante ha puesto en conocimiento del Director General de la Marina Mercante, mediante escrito, su repulsa por ilegales, a la decisión tomada por la Naviera Armas de Canarias, de enrolarse alumnos de náutica en período de formación ejerciendo a bordo tareas de marineros bajo las ordenes de un subalterno. Tal decisión, además de ilegal de acuerdo con la legislación vigente, supone una degradación de los futuros oficiales de la Marina Mercante y un trato vejatorio.

From a technical and naval architecture standpoint, there isn't any limit on the size a container ship can be. There are currently three major limitations that a shipping line has to consider when building new vessels: terminal infrastructure limits, draft restrictions and length overall.
Currently there are vessels sailing close to the 22,000 TEU mark. This is something that was unimaginable 10 or 15 years ago. I'm not saying

Ever Given
Un barco varado no es un barco, es un muerto. El caso concreto del Ever Given, ha sido como un trombo que ha paralizado la procesionaria del sistema global del comercio durante seis días. La situación ha sido angustiosa porque el noventa por ciento del comercio internacional se realiza a través de la mar, aunque la sociedad de nuestro tiempo no entienda lo que significa la Marina Civil como medio de transporte, de actividades pesqueras, de construcción naval, de puertos e incluso recreo, de salvamento de vidas en la mar, de protección del medio marino, de explotación de recursos minerales, etc.
