Maritime Logistics Professional

What Maritime Logistics Professional does

Maritime Logistics Professional is a digital B2B news publication serving the global maritime, offshore, subsea, and logistics sectors. The company operates the online portal maritimeprofessional.com, organized into editorial verticals covering ports, cargo (containers, dry bulk, liquid bulk, RoRo, cruise, intermodal), infrastructure (dredging, engineering, terminals, bunkering), technology (automation, cybersecurity, equipment, software, cranes), GreenPorts (alternative fuels, decarbonization, shore power), regulatory matters, interviews, and industry events. It also distributes content via a segmented email newsletter (enews.maritimeprofessional.com) and maintains a presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter/X, and RSS.

The publication is owned and operated by New Wave Media Int (legal entity World News International), a media conglomerate that runs a portfolio of at least seven maritime titles — including Maritime Reporter, MarineNews, Marine Technology Reporter, MarineLink.com, MaritimePropulsion.com, and MarineElectronics.com. Day-to-day operations are led by a small editorial and sales team of roughly six named professionals, headed by Editor & Associate Publisher Greg Trauthwein, who has 20+ years of maritime journalism experience across the conglomerate.

The business model is advertising-based and supported entirely by digital channels. Revenue is generated through banner advertising on the website (delivered via the parent company's services.marinelink.com ad server), newsletter sponsorships, and sponsored content. The publication is free to access for readers, with no disclosed subscription paywall or pricing tiers. GTM is event-driven: the publication acts as a media partner for major maritime events (SMM 2026, SNAME Maritime Convention, Multi-Agency Craft Conference, Interferry2026) and markets to a B2B audience across the USA, UK, Germany, UAE, Singapore, and Qatar. The platform has no native mobile app, no public API, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.
