Corrections & Withdrawals
A public record. Last updated: October 30, 2026
Our editorial standards promise that we correct errors promptly and transparently. This page is the proof: every material correction and every article we have withdrawn is recorded here, with the date and the reason. We do not quietly edit or quietly delete.
Our policy
- Minor errors — typos, formatting, broken links — are fixed in place without a note.
- Material corrections — a wrong fact, figure, date, attribution, or legal or regulatory detail — are corrected in the article with a dated correction note, and logged here.
- Withdrawals — when errors run through a piece rather than a single passage, we withdraw it entirely. The URL returns HTTP 410 (permanently removed), the article is delisted from every page, feed and sitemap, and the withdrawal is logged here with the reason.
Correction requests are reviewed within 48 hours and reach the Contributing Editor and the founder directly.

Iran Claims Two Cargo Ships Sunk Near Hormuz — Oct 16
The headline, summary and lead signal stated that two cargo ships were sunk. That was a claim by Iranian forces carried by Iranian state media. UKMTO, JMIC and CENTCOM had not confirmed any sinking, and the cited reports describe a projectile strike and debris. The brief is retitled to attribute the claim. The URL is unchanged.

Week in One Page: Hormuz Mine Strikes Drive 70% Traffic Collapse
The summary said a news agency had confirmed an IRGC mine-strike claim. The agency carried the claim and did not confirm it. The mine strikes were IRGC and Iranian state media claims that UKMTO, JMIC and CENTCOM had not confirmed. The piece now attributes them. The URL is unchanged.

Hormuz Tanker Strikes Reach October Peak — Oct 24
The brief said multiple reports confirmed that two supertankers struck naval mines. That was an IRGC claim carried by Iranian state media: no vessel was named, and UKMTO, JMIC and CENTCOM had not confirmed it. The brief now attributes the claim. The URL is unchanged.

Black Sea Overtakes Hormuz — Oct 28
The automated brief said the Black Sea had overtaken Hormuz in attacks on commercial ships and called it the deadliest route, with unsupported percentages and publications absent from its sources. No comparable incident tally, common time window or denominator was presented. The article now reports the 28 October drone strike off Bulgaria from Reuters and AP, labels route implications as assessment, and removes the old image. The URL is unchanged.

IRGC Hormuz Mine Claim Stands Unconfirmed — Oct 25
The published brief treated an IRGC statement as a confirmed mine strike on two supertankers and said oil on UAE beaches came from that strike. The statement is an unconfirmed claim: no vessel was named, and UKMTO, JMIC and CENTCOM had not confirmed it as of 25 October. The beach closures are a separate spill. UAE authorities have not named a tanker and have not tied the slick to the claim. The URL is unchanged.

Hormuz Tanker Mine Strikes Mount — Oct 20
Christopher Wright was identified as Deputy Secretary of State. He is the US Energy Secretary. The article said dark-fleet tankers would shed sanctions designations. Wright said there is no removing of sanctions, and the text now describes an approval path for some tankers to carry non-sanctioned oil. The IRGC mine claim was dated 19 October; the published report of that claim is dated 18 October. The original source list did not support the claim. It is now attributed to an 18 October report citing the IRGC, and to a 17 October Reuters account that said there was no independent confirmation. The URL is unchanged.

How a Filipino Seafarer Checks a Manning Agency, and Why You Should Never Pay a Placement Fee
The published title and several sentences implied that paying a manning agency is a normal step for a Filipino seafarer. The title and those sentences are corrected. A licensed agency may not charge a recruitment or placement fee (RA 12021 IRR Rule VI Section 1; 2016 POEA Sea-based Rules Sections 49, 50 and 52; MLC 2006 Standard A1.4 paragraph 5(b)). A request for a placement fee is a red flag to report to DMW. The URL is unchanged.

Seafarer Rights When Held Captive by Pirates: Wages, Allotments and Repatriation Under MLC 2006
Withdrawn the day of publication. The article was auto-published without the verified sourcing and human editorial review that coverage of seafarer rights requires, and was withdrawn in full at the publisher's decision.

Crew Casualty in Strait of Hormuz Attacks: POEA-SEC Rights for Injury, Death Benefit and Repatriation
Withdrawn the day of publication. The article was auto-published and set out POEA-SEC and MLC entitlements its own text repeatedly conceded the cited evidence did not support. Coverage touching seafarer deaths and injuries reaches families before it reaches anyone else, and requires verified sourcing and human editorial review before publication — this piece had neither, so it was withdrawn in full rather than corrected.

What Filipino Seafarers Need to Know: POEA-SEC Rights After a Casualty
Withdrawn the day of publication. The article was auto-published and carried a reviewer credit it had not earned, and its explanation of POEA-SEC death benefits, RA 12021, the 120/240-day rule and the correct claims forum contained material legal errors. Because the errors ran through the piece rather than a single passage, it was withdrawn in full rather than corrected.
