We’ve upgraded Maritime Commons and moved to a new domain, so please take a few moments to update your bookmarks, shortcuts, and RSS feeds to the following url address:

https://mariners.news.blog/

If you have an email subscription with us, there’s no need for you to do anything. Your subscription was migrated over to the new domain and you’ll continue to receive blog post notifications when there is new content for you to view. We’ll also continue to share content through Twitter and LinkedIn.

The previous site will be maintained for a short period of time to ensure a smooth transition. After that, you will automatically be redirected to the new site.

We’ve worked hard to make sure the new Maritime Commons is as good as the old one – or better – but if you notice something that isn’t quite right, please email us right away at maritimecommons@gmail.com and we’ll get it fixed as soon as possible. Further, if you have a suggestion for new features or resources, please let us know. Maritime Commons is YOUR blog and we want it to continue to meet the needs of the professional maritime community.

As always, we are extremely grateful for the support you’ve shown over the years, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards, 

Lt. Amy Midgett, Editor
