Splash launches Ports vertical for global terminal coverage

Splash Ports launched today in Singapore as a new daily publication focused on ports, terminals and the wider supply chain. The site aims to track infrastructure, investment, technology and policy across major maritime regions for industry decision-makers.

Why it matters: - Splash Ports targets the commercial decisions that shape ports, terminals and supply chains. - The publication is designed to help executives track infrastructure spending, automation, policy shifts and trade flow changes in one place. - The launch expands Splash Maritime Group’s coverage into a specialized ports-only newsroom.

What happened: - Splash Ports launched today as a dedicated vertical covering ports and terminals across container, bulk and energy operations worldwide. - The publication is based in Singapore. - Splash created the new outlet to provide daily reporting, analysis and intelligence on the infrastructure, investment, technology and policy shaping global ports and supply chains.

The details: - Coverage will include port authorities, container terminals, bulk and tanker facilities, inland logistics, intermodal infrastructure, automation, digitalisation, cranes and cargo handling equipment. - The newsroom will also track investment, sustainability, concessions, mergers and acquisitions, and policy affecting global trade movement. - Editorial coverage will span every major maritime region. - Splash says the reporting will draw on official announcements, exclusive reporting and original analysis. - The publication will be edited within the same newsroom that produces Splash’s daily shipping coverage. - Splash says the editorial approach will stay sharp and angle-led, with reporting built on direct sourcing rather than corporate statements alone. - Splash Ports launches with a standalone website, social media feeds and a free weekly newsletter. - The newsletter will include regular interviews with terminal operators and port authority executives, plus opinion pieces from outside experts. - The launch site is the company’s announcement and access point. - Splash Ports is also on LinkedIn and X.

Between the lines: - Splash is positioning Ports as a commercially focused trade publication, not a generic industry blog. - The emphasis on direct sourcing and exclusive reporting suggests the outlet wants to differentiate itself from company-led announcements and sponsored messaging. - The move builds on Splash’s existing audience across maritime roles, including owners, charterers, insurers, financiers and regulators. - Splash’s editorial director Sam Chambers said the goal is to make Splash Ports the first place industry participants look to understand what is happening at the world’s terminals and why. - Co-founder Grant Rowles said the publication will focus on major infrastructure investments, terminal developments, automation, logistics, policy and technology.

What’s next: - Splash Ports will publish daily coverage as the site builds its audience. - The company plans additional vertical launches in the new year. - Splash Tech, launched in February, remains part of the broader expansion into specialized maritime coverage.

The bottom line: - Splash Ports is a new, niche newsroom built to turn port and terminal developments into fast, commercially useful intelligence for the maritime industry.
