Mercator Media acquires Maritime Contracts Journal
Mercator Media has agreed to purchase Maritime Contracts Journal (MCJ) from publishers Maritime Intelligence.
MCJ is a weekly subscription business bulletin that provides information about contracts, tenders and business opportunities in the commercial maritime industry and has an audience of main contractors, sub-contactors and their consultants.
Mercator publishes the pan-European commercial marine magazine Maritime Journal and produces both Seawork and M&CCE.
“Mercator is a great, new home for the Maritime Contracts Journal,” says Andrew Webster, chief executive of Mercator. “It fits in very well with what we do, complementing our magazines and events that overlap this marketplace. We are very much looking forward to seeing what the bright future holds for MCJ here at Mercator.”
“New opportunities for MCJ under the Mercator flag are set to enhance the content and presentation to levels that could not be achieved as a standalone publication,” says Peter Moth, Maritime Intelligence’s MD. “We expect MCJ to become a vital resource for the post-lockdown recovery of the commercial marine industry in the months and years ahead.”
