Maritime news API
Shipping, ports, sea routes and marine incidents. Pass topic=MARITIME to filter.
What does the maritime topic actually cover?
Vessel movements, port operations, route disruption, marine incidents and the trade that depends on them. A specialist subject with a small, high-quality publisher base.
How do I filter news to maritime?
Pass topic=MARITIME on /search or /stories. Greek, Dutch, Singaporean and Norwegian outlets lead on this and carry detail no general publication matches. Pair with the transportation or supply-disruption signal, and with a country filter for port-specific reporting.
GET /stories?topic=MARITIME&mode=hybrid&from=2026-07-24&limit=20What catches people out with maritime coverage?
The specialist press publishes at low volume relative to its value, so a query ranked by volume buries it under general news mentioning ships. Constrain the outlet set or the signal range or you will not see the material worth reading.
Who publishes on it
A small, high-quality specialist press concentrated in Greece, the Netherlands, Singapore, Norway and the Gulf, plus general coverage when an incident is dramatic enough. The specialist titles publish at low volume with very high specificity.
In the sample, 706 outlets carry maritime coverage at about 1
articles each. The busiest is tribunnews.com at roughly 2%,
and tribunnews.com, dunya.com, inewsgr.com account for about 4% between them.
Flat enough that volume here translates fairly directly into independent reporting rather than one newsroom publishing repeatedly.
What it is best for
Best for freight, port and route intelligence, and as an early indicator for trade disruption. Weakest if queried by volume, which surfaces general news mentioning ships and buries the specialist reporting that made the topic worth querying.
Monitoring it over time
Query narrowly or not at all. A broad query on this topic surfaces general news that mentions ships and buries the specialist reporting entirely, which is the opposite of what makes the topic worth having. Constrain by outlet or by signal range from the outset rather than filtering afterwards. Port state control detentions, class society notices and charter market commentary are three distinct sub-streams with different publishers and different lead times, and the first is the most predictive of disruption while attracting the least coverage. Insurance and war-risk pricing moves before route changes are announced, which makes it worth tracking alongside rather than after.
Which signals pair with maritime?
Topic filtering answers what an article is about. Signals answer how strongly it reads that way and in what register, so combining them is usually sharper than either alone.
