1883 - 2008: Fairplay marks
anniversary
A word from our editor
airplay was proud to celebrate 125 years of quality maritime journalism in 2008, and this year we move towards the next milestone with confidence. This weekly magazine was launched to report the world of shipping without fear or favour, to challenge the outrageous and pompous, and to encourage those who have the best interests of the maritime industry at heart. After 125 years Fairplay’s journalists are still acknowledged as well informed and well connected. They offer comment that is both frank and fair, markets reporting that looks beyond the latest rates, and country and industry features that are incisive and topical. Shipping companies around the world have been hit by the recent turmoil in the world’s financial markets. However, while there’s less money to go around, shipping continues to be driven by information. Lloyd’s Register - Fairplay brings you the world’s most comprehensive data, and Fairplay International Shipping Weekly provides informed comment. That’s why Fairplay is still the best way to get your message to your customers. Fifty-one issues a year, in touch with shipping. That’s Fairplay.
Richard Clayton Editor
Fairplay: calling things by their right name...
airplay International Shipping Weekly began lifee in Victorian Victori England when British shipping and shipbuilding led the world. The he mag magazine had a clear mission, to “promote the habit of calling things by their eir right rig name and looking at theem through uncoloured spectacles”. Timees have changed. British shipping is no longer the force it was, but the Fairplay tradition of straightforward, honest journalism has been maintained. Behind my desk are dozens of bound copies of the magazine, going back to the very first issue. They are fascinating ascinating to read, each one packed to inform, educate and entertain shipowners, shipow operators, ators, lawyers, builders, equipment suppliers. supplie Although ough Fairplay began life as a British journal and even as a London society rag rag, by the end of the 19th century it had become thoroughly international nternational with corresponde correspondents in the United States, Canada, the Cape and Australia. There were regular discussion discussions of the Czar’s ’s Russia, Mr De Lesseps and his Suez Canal, and a rival waterway across N Nicaragua.
War and the threat of war had a fascination, and the various conflicts of the 20th century can be traced by followers of the freight market and sale and purchase columns. So can the development of shipping from steam to diesel propulsion. With hundreds of photographs, drawings and maps, Fairplay followed the expansion of world trade and charted the evolution of companies from single ship enterprises to global empires. As today, the magazine has always championed the seafarer, never afraid to probe into incidents where safety of life has been compromised in the interests of profit. Fairplay covered the Titanic, the Do単a Paz, the Sea Empress and the Torrey Canyon, the birth of the IMO, the he opening of the Panama Canal and the developme development of environmental protection. Fairplay magazine journalists nalists are proud to be writing the first draft of history and look forward to contributing another bound volume volu to the shelves.
