A new specialised publication dedicated to ports and terminals intelligence has launched today, offering daily reporting and analysis for professionals across the maritime supply chain. Splash Ports, a vertical from Splash247, covers container, bulk, and energy operations worldwide, according to a company announcement.
What Splash Ports Covers
Splash Ports will deliver news and insights on a broad range of topics including:
- Port authorities and container terminals
- Bulk and tanker facilities
- Inland logistics and intermodal infrastructure
- Automation, digitalisation, cranes, and cargo handling equipment
- Investment, sustainability, concessions, and mergers and acquisitions
- Policies influencing the movement of global trade
Editorial coverage will span every major maritime region, based on official announcements, exclusive reporting, and original analysis, according to Splash247.
Editorial Philosophy
Commented Sam Chambers, Splash's editorial director: “The intention is simple: to make Splash Ports the first place anyone in this trade looks when they want to understand what’s happening at the world’s terminals, why it’s happening, and what it means for the ships, cargoes and supply chains that depend on them.”
Splash Ports will be edited within the same newsroom that produces Splash’s daily shipping coverage, maintaining the outlet’s house approach: sharp, angle-led reporting free of press-release language, built on direct sourcing rather than corporate statements alone.
Grant Rowles, co-founder of Splash, said the new publication would maintain the same editorial philosophy that has underpinned Splash’s success over the past decade. “We will focus on the stories that matter commercially—major infrastructure investments, terminal developments, automation, logistics, policy and technology—delivering fast, accurate journalism that helps industry leaders make better decisions,” said Rowles.
Launch Details and Access
Splash Ports launches with a dedicated, standalone website, a suite of social media feeds, and its own free weekly newsletter with regular interviews with terminal operators and port authority executives as well as exclusive opinion pieces from experts in the field, according to Splash247. By combining specialist journalism with a global perspective, Splash Ports aims to become an essential daily resource for port authorities, terminal operators, shipping lines, logistics providers, equipment manufacturers, investors and policymakers.
Splash is part of the wider Splash Maritime Group, and its shipping coverage is read by decision-makers across the maritime industry, from owners and charterers to insurers, financiers and regulators. Other titles include SplashTech, launched in February, covering shipping’s digital transformation. Other new verticals will be announced in the new year.
