Trauthwein Associate Publisher & Editor Email: trauthwein@marinelink.com I t is hard to believe that another Oceans (www.oceans14mtsieeestjohns.org) is upon us, set for September 14-19, 2014 in picturesque St. Johns, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. This will be my fi rst trip back to St. Johns in about two years, and to be perfectly honest it is one of my favorite places to visit on the planet. Not only do the residents offer a legendary brand of hospitality mixed with a scenic environment, the city and the province are home to one of the broadest and deepest subsea clusters in the world. While there are many geographic regions throughout the world that claim to be a cluster, St. Johns is truly a cluster like one I’ve never seen, with a tight-knit community of professionals, companies, government and educational resources that is hard to match. Above and beyond all else I am anxious to see the growth of the companies and the industry in St. Johns, as on each of my three previous trips, generally spaced about 18 months apart, I was struck each time with the rapid maturation and strong growth of individual entities and the cluster as a whole. If you have not been to St. Johns and/or an Oceans event lately, I highly recommend you make the trek to this one. On top of producing this edition, we concurrently made our editorial plans for 2015, which is summarized nicely on page 80 of this edition. What you see there are our tra- ditional nine print editions of MTR. What you do not see is our three new “Electronic Only” editions dubbed MTR White Papers. In response to a dramatic increase in demand from our readers to publish and distribute White Paper style reports to our world-leading circulation of more than 25,000, and a concurrent rapid growth of or “Emag” circulation to more than 10,000, we decided to launch MTR White Papers to effectively serve both needs. Each edition is tightly focused, with the fi rst on “Oceanographic,” the second on “Hydrographic,” and the third on “Unmanned Marine and Subsea Vehicles.” As always, we encourage valuable input from the industry, and I welcome your call or email to discuss ways in which you can contribute.
