Navigating Legal Waters: Unmanned Vessels and Maritime Law Enforcement
The legal status of unmanned vessels in maritime law enforcement remains unresolved, and the gaps are becoming harder to ignore. The analysis of the warship, military device, and ship doctrines is a necessary step toward clarity.

South China Sea Collision: Two Chinese Coast Guard Personnel Confirmed Dead
Two Chinese Coast Guard personnel, Yi, 21, and Cheng, 25, were confirmed dead on August 11, 2025, during a "maritime rights protection operation in the South China Sea."
