Over the past 12 months, MIN has continued to go from strength to strength – rapidly expanding subscription numbers (it’s free to sign-up for the daily email), publishing even more exclusive interviews and reporting on a vast range of stories: from major product launches and shifting government regulations to market reports and the turbulence of geo-political developments. Plus, MIN’s examined the mounting pressures facing UK boatbuilding heavyweights such as Sunseeker, Princess and Fairline, reflected on the deteriorating state of the environment, and investigated accidents, innovations, opinions and controversies from across the sector.
What follows is what MIN’s readers engaged with most, month by month. For each month, there are links to the two most-read articles, based purely on reader numbers.
So what does this tell the editorial team? That MIN readers have an appetite for the full breadth of marine trade coverage. Whether it’s cutting-edge product innovation, candid analysis of market trends, the challenges confronting iconic British builders, or the latest superyacht scandal, one thing remains consistent: MIN is the publication being discussed in offices, boatyards and boardrooms — not just in the UK, but across the global marine industry.
