Maritime Review Africa was launched in 2002 as a niche B2B print magazine for the maritime industries on the continent. Maritime Review Africa transitioned to become a predominantly digital publication in 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19 and difficulties associated with distribution. Most of our content is created for digital distribution, apart from special print editions that aim to encapsulate the major issues facing the sectors at the time.  

We are bringing HELMfest to Cape Town in 2026. The festival will be curated to serve as a unique platform for networking, collaboration, celebration, and fundraising within the maritime industry. Join industry professionals for a series of engaging activities designed to strengthen connections and drive innovation. Come and be part of a vibrant community dedicated to maritime excellence.

The South African maritime industry is driven by a wide variety of personalities that have helped shape the trajectory of our ocean economy. With the first volume of SALTED, we aim to highlight these individuals in a series of profiles that dives beneath the surface and tells their unique story in a compelling way. SALTED is a living document that celebrates not only the more public figures in the industry, but also the many fascinating characters that are making a difference out of the spotlight.
