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.
