About Us
The seafarer - our most valued treasure 
 
 
 
Our Vision: 
 
Sailor Today is committed to journalism of integrity and providing accurate information to the shipping community and to give the Seafarer a voice. 
 
 
 
The shipping industry has always been a nerve wracking business, with its best practitioners using a combination of experience, mercantile instinct, a sense of opportunity before others sense it, and the courage to act. But every industry player knows that instinct must also be backed by knowledge in this most complex of businesses. Knowledge plus experience plus instinct provides the industry with its greatest survivors – and achievers. 
 
Today, the objectives haven’t changed, but conditions have. The kind of immediate knowledge available now would have seemed an unimaginable advantage a couple of decades ago. Sailor Today is dedicated to delivering the best information and analysis on all shipping developments as the industry emerges into a better environment and ultimately faces new challenges. Our readers therefore benefit from the most comprehensive view of shipping available in the world.

Our Annual Events 
 
Sailor Today (since 1991) is the brain-child of Master Mariner Capt Sunil Nangia who during his career at sea felt the absence of ready information regarding his profession a big hurdle. 
 
This prompted him to design and conceputalise a platform specially dedicated to the seafarer and his profession. And Sailor Today was born. With a humble beginning, today the pioneer publication has crossed all seas and shores and found its place in the hearts of thousands of mariners. 
 
Built on a heritage of editorial excellence, Sailor Today delivers content tailored to its core audience of Seafarers, Ship owners, Managers, Operators and Charterers. It is also directed towards Ship Building, Ship Repairs, Ship Chandling, Ports, Chartering, Surveying, Maritime equipment manufacturers and suppliers, and Maritime Training Institutes.
