Port Strategy is a shipping port-related magazine[1] published by Mercator Media,[2] a specialist maritime publisher based in Fareham on the UK’s South Coast. As well as port news, Port Strategy covers cargo, equipment, insurance, logistics, global trade and law.[3]
Described as “the leading magazine for Port Executives”[4] and a magazine that “decision-makers around the world have access to”,[5] Port Strategy aims to cover every hot spot for port development and investment from both the developed and emerging world. Each issue has a combination of news,[6] in-depth features,[7] and unique opinion targeted to meet the information needs of government strategists, port executives, marine terminal operators and port users.
The magazine launched its online product in 2008,[8] publishes port-related podcasts through a partnership with Coracle,[9] and also runs news headline entries through Twitter.[10]
