Seatrade Communications (formerly Seatrade magazine) was a publisher and events company for the maritime industries, established in England by Themistocles Vokosin in November 1970.[1]

History[edit]
Seatrade was founded by Themistocles Vokos in 1970. That year, the first issue of the brand's maritime magazine, Seatrade Maritime Review, was published, followed in 1997 by cruise counterpart Seatrade Cruise Review.
In 1973, Seatrade Communications launched its first event, the Money and Ship conference. Later, it would establish various cruise and maritime events, including the Seatrade Maritime Awards in 1989.
Seatrade Communications went on to launch a news website for the cruise industry in 2000, initially titled Seatrade Insider and in 2015 named Seatrade Cruise News. The maritime equivalent, Seatrade Global, was introduced in 2013, eventually becoming Seatrade Maritime News.
In 2014, Seatrade Communications was acquired by UBM for an undisclosed amount.[3]

The Seatrade Academy was a shipping-focused academy, set up by Seatrade in 1978 and run in association with the Cambridge Academy of Transport. The academy has three shipping related courses: the Anatomy of Shipping, the Business of Shipping - Asia, and the Business of Shipping - UAE.
