In this issue

A cyberattack on Maersk took down the global shipper’s IT systems in June, sending shock waves through the industry. Are maritime operators in the U.S. taking the cyberthreat seriously? In our October/November issue, Professional Mariner also looks at the fuel savings possible with asymmetric sterns, a decades-old idea now gaining traction with the aid of computer fluid dynamics. In shipbuilding, Dakota Creek Industries is looking for congressional help after using too much foreign steel in the hull of a new $75 million trawler. Will the shipyard get a Jones Act waiver? We also profile Harvest, the first U.S.-flagged liquefied gas carrier built since 1982, a project that hinged on extensive cooperation between Vigor and the builder's many contractors
