14 October 2022
Publishers note
When the planning commenced for the relaunch of Marine Business News almost two years ago, we wanted to deliver a news service that informed, educated and entertained our readers.
Those who visit our web page know that every story is categorised. Be it Industry, Environment, Education, Sport, History & Society, Government, International, Association News, People, Lifestyle, Police or Rescue & Services.
Our wishes to provide variety continue, and we are pleased with our effort to bring you news from a wide and diverse source.
This week is no different, with news about boat shows, mindfulness in boating, fascinating industry innovation, the world of Superyachts, industry support, to international news and big and bigger stuff, although we are not sure which is the biggest.
Our greatest pleasure comes from the positive feedback, encouragement and industry support. We love what we do, and we hope that it is reflected in the news service we deliver.
We invite you to visit our webpage for many more stories not seen in this newsletter as well as links to resources, photo libraries, reviews, our international industry events calendar, and our jobs board.
Our newsroom is open, and if your business has news to share, please let us know. Feel free to contact me or our team in the newsroom at newsroom@marinebusinessnews.com.au
Stay safe on the water,
