Editor's Note

Without a doubt, the historical richness of the maritime industry and the presenta-tion of such in these pages is the aspect of this job I enjoy most.

Today Maritime

Reporter stands with publications MarineNews and Maritime Security Sourcebook, as well as a diversity of electronic and on-line products including: The

Shipbuilding Report (www.shipbuilding.com); MaritimeToday (www.maritimeto- day.com); www.marinelink.com;www.maritimejobs.com; www.maritimeequip- ment.com; and The Annual Maritime Directory on CD in an effort to fulfill that original vision.
