MEM<br />
MARINE ENGINEERS MESSENGER<br />
Telegraph<br />
This edition of your fortnighly Marine Engineers Messenger<br />
arrives to you in a different format, steering you towards our<br />
new website MEM Online (mem-online.com), which I hope you will<br />
find of interest enough to save as a bookmark in your web browsers.<br />
While you might think: “Oh no, not another shipping news site!”, I<br />
have often though that the issues affecting the providers of marine<br />
systems and ship technologies and, indeed those that purchase them,<br />
are not covered as much as the other, more glossy aspects of the<br />
shipping business.<br />
Certainly the developments taking place in the marine<br />
engineering and ship technology communities, such as the<br />
introduction of automation, digitalisation, and energy savings and<br />
emissions reduction systems, are vastly important and vital to the<br />
commercial viability of the shipping fleet. After all, without these<br />
systems and technolgies, new ship designs and shipbuilding<br />
methods, the shipping industry would struggle to meet many of the<br />
stringent regulations that are now in, or about to enter into force.<br />
Many of the shipping news sites tend to focus on the busines side<br />
of things, with few sites focusing only on the technical. As such, MEM<br />
Online has been deveoped to provide the industry with regular, as-ithappens<br />
news from the OEMs, the enginebuilders, the system<br />
integrators, shipyards, classification societies, and regulators so that<br />
shipowners, managers and operators have a better understanding of<br />
the systems and technolgies available to them.<br />
MEM Online hopes to report on the developments of all marine<br />
technolgy providers, big and small, so please do use our Vox Pops<br />
section on the website to keep us abreast of your news.<br />
While the fortnighlty periodical will still be continued, it is<br />
intended to provide more indepth coverage of the news that we<br />
publish online and introduce regular feature articles. So, pease do<br />
continue to support MEM, whether by regularly reading the online<br />
news, submitting stories or subscribing to the pdf version.<br />
