About this app

Lighthouse: Maritime Daily — the maritime industry in your pocket.

Maritime news that respects your time. ⚓ Sixty words per story. Five minutes to catch up. No fluff, no clickbait, no scrolling past three paragraphs of preamble to find what actually happened.
Lighthouse is built for the people who live and work with the sea — seafarers between watches, shipping professionals between meetings, naval officers, maritime engineers, port operators, and everyone whose work or curiosity touches the maritime world.

🌊 DAILY NEWS, RADICALLY CONCISE Every story in Lighthouse is delivered in 60 words. Tankers, container shipping, IMO regulation, port news, naval developments, maritime technology, casualties and salvage, energy and offshore — the whole industry, distilled. Read what matters in the time it takes to finish your coffee.

📰 INSIGHTS WHEN YOU WANT MORE For the stories that demand depth, our Insights section goes longer. Analysis, expert commentary, and context for the industry's most consequential developments — when you have the time and the topic deserves it.

🔔 PUSH NOTIFICATIONS THAT EARN THEIR PLACE Smart alerts for breaking maritime news. You decide what matters — geopolitical chokepoints, regulatory deadlines, your fleet's trade lanes, your ports of call.

🔖 BOOKMARKS FOR LATER Save what you want to read in port, on watch, or on the train home. Your offline reading list, organised your way.

💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION Like, dislike, and comment on the stories that matter. Lighthouse is a community as much as a publication — your views shape the conversation across the global maritime industry.
