The new location will house the executive, editorial and ad- vertising staff responsible for worldwide publishing operations in the commercial marine and naval sectors. The publishers reported the acquisition was necessitated by a steady growth in publishing ac- tivity which resulted in an in- crease in staff over the past 18 months. This growth pattern in- cluded the introduction of two new major publications. The first edition of the annual Ma- rine Equipment Catalog was published in April 1984. Because of the immediate success of this edition, the Marine Equipment Catalog will be an annual publi- cation. The second edition will be published this month throughout the entire industry. In the fall of 1984, MARITIME REPORTER also introduced the Navy Contract Information Ser- vice, which consists of an original Navy Data Base plus ongoing reports to subscribers of com- puterized Navy contract data updates supplied twice monthly for inclusion in the original data base.
