About The Motorship
The Motorship has been the journal of choice for technical managers in shipping companies since 1920. Its core subjects are the technical aspects of shipping and shipbuilding, focusing primarily on vessel propulsion and ship machinery, though subjects such as environmental issues, safety, navigation and communications are also covered in depth in so far as they impact on ships and their equipment. Its readers are the senior personnel responsible for technical aspects of operation in shipping and ship management companies, as well as shipbuilders, naval architects, surveyors, consultants as well as educators and legislators. Most hold qualifications in marine engineering, and many have been to sea.
The Motorship has an independent editorial stance. It always strives to project an informed, unbiased opinion. In fact opinion is the key point which sets it apart from its competition. The experienced editorial staff and writers do not shrink back from commenting on issues which may affect the readers, or from helping to guide their decisions.
The Motorship provides in-depth technical coverage, in line with its long heritage, but in a concise, easy-to-read style. We recognise that todays marine engineers are busy people who do not have time to wade through large areas of text. The design and writing style reflect the magazines long history as a serious, high quality technical journal, while remaining bright and up-to-the-minute.
The Motorship has the longest-established ABC audited readership in the industry, and places a high priority on a closely-targeted circulation, with a minimum of wasted copies. Each issue will normally be read by several influential people, and we are often told that of all the publications that are received by shipping companies, The Motorship is the one that is read the most thoroughly and keenly.
