Dear Colleagues:
Throughout this issue, esteemed industry professionals give their insights into public perceptions of seaports and take a look at what some AAPA member ports are doing in their awareness initiatives.
From the feature story to its case studies and awards reports, this winter issue is sure to give our entire global readership of 4,500 copies in print, as well as historical 4,000 online downloads, a clear understanding of the true impact of seaports throughout the hemisphere.
You can also expect that, through June 2009, this issue will have significant bonus distribution at all AAPA events, Seatrade and TOC Asia in March, and a suite of other international industry events.
Looking into 2009, the AAPA Seaports Magazine series will continue its strong editorial component and targeted distribution. Following the spring publication of the industry's leading annual resource, the 2009 AAPA Seaports of the Americas Directory, the magazine will deliver focuses on topics of critical concern to ports as follows:
- Surviving/Thriving in Tough Economic Times, in the summer issue, publishing in June;
- Seaport Efficiencies through Technology and Innovation, in the fall issue, publishing in September and being distributed at the 2009 AAPA convention; and
- Bolstering Supply Chain Security, in the winter issue, publishing in December.
