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.

Maritime Reporter & Engineering News, a testament to the perseverance of one company and its quest to service the industry with information as envisioned by John J. O'Malley in 1939.

While the look, the name and the masthead have changed many times, the steadfast goal of providing good, timely information for maritime executives has been a granite foundation upon which Maritime Reporter and its family of printed and electronic products has been built. 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.

This edition was designed to deliver insights as to the evolution of the market over the last six-plus decades.
