Media Kit 2026
Marine News delivers the North American workboat community—owners, operators, shipyards, naval architects, port and inland stakeholders—with unmatched reach across print, digital, and events.
Marine News is the premier magazine serving North America’s shallow-draft workboat markets—towboats, tugs & barges, dredging, patrol & multi-mission craft—delivering the largest printed audience in the segment with targeted bonus distribution at key events.
Marine News + MarineLink.com — the magazine, the interactive emagazine, the website, the eNewsletter, the Podcast, the TV channel, and our social media platforms — together are a part the maritime industry’s largest and most diverse media family. This integrated approach ensures your message reaches shallow-draft professionals wherever they consume content.
For more than two decades, Marine News has been the trusted voice of North America’s shallow-draft sector. Our editors are embedded with operators, shipyards, and regulators—covering tugs & towboats, barges, dredging, harbor services, and nearshore support. That on-deck perspective, combined with the reach of the New Wave Media network, makes Marine News the industry’s go-to platform for launching products, educating the market, and driving RFP-grade demand.
Marine News connects your brand to the people who keep shallow-draft America moving—towboat and tug operators, barge lines, dredging contractors, harbor services, pilot associations, and the inland/coastal shipyards that build and maintain their fleets. With deep editorial credibility and targeted distribution, we put your message in front of the buyers and specifiers who choose engines, propulsion, deck gear, electronics, safety, coatings, and repair services for workboats every day.
From Subchapter-M compliance and crew safety to power & propulsion upgrades, yard capacity, and inland waterways policy, Marine News delivers practical, decision-ready coverage that speaks the language of the workboat market. If shallow-draft is your business, this is where deals begin.
