The maritime industry is vast, complex, and ever-changing. Because of this, it is crucial for leaders in this space to remain up-to-date with industry trends and daily news from relevant sources across the globe in order to recognize events occurring in the world and adjust their own actions accordingly. Here are four helpful sources to get you started:
1. ShippingWatch
This Danish site is an independent online media source with an internal staff of journalists, supplemented by freelancers from major Danish publications. The site focuses solely on the maritime industry.
2. TradeWinds
TradeWinds is a Norwegian site that offers both online and print news from their reporters located in multiple countries around the world, including the US, the UK, India, China, Singapore, Greece, and more. It is the biggest shipping news source in the world.
3. The Maritime Executive
This source is modeled on the Harvard Business Review’s case studies, sending out six studies per year alongside an executive interview and analyses of industry trends. The accompanying online newsletter is published six days per week. Based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this site has the largest audited circulation in the maritime industry.
4. MarineLink
Marine Link is the online home of two international shipping magazines: Maritime Reporter and MarineNews. Based in New York City, this site is a great source of international news and offers white papers, a maritime directory, and other helpful resources.
Bonus: Your favorite major publications
Although sources like Reuters or the Wall Street Journal are not specifically dedicated to maritime news, they offer important coverage of international events– events that, in turn, greatly affect international shipping. Additionally, prestigious publications that are based in large port cities, such as the Financial Times in London or New York Times in New York City, can often provide information about the particular ports in those cities in addition to world news.
