The Procupy News Desk is the newsroom behind this site. It reads public sources every hour: trade and shipping publications, government notices, regulators, international bodies and official price data. Stories are researched and written with AI tools, checked automatically against their sources, and reviewed by a separate AI fact-check before they are published. Procupy staff set the rules, review flagged drafts and handle corrections.
We do not interview people or claim exclusives. Every fact in a story comes from a published source, and every story lists those sources. Read how this works in our editorial policy.
