Canadian Sailings Magazine

Canadian Sailings magazine, published by Great White Publications Inc., is a publication for transportation and logistics professionals, distributed coast to coast in Canada and beyond. The publication provides national/regional trade and transportation news, profiles on industry personalities, companies and ports. It also publishes special features on ship building, international trade, temperature controlled cargo, port security, arctic shipping, airfreight, and other subjects.

The content also includes The Shippers’ Handbook containing detailed information on the international ports of call for all international shipping lines, NVOCCs and Agents sailing from Canadian ports. It also includes information about other shipping services offered by the lines, NVOCCs and Agents and complete contact information.

Canadian Sailings was founded in 1982 by Brian O’N. Gallery, who was then publisher of SEAPORTS & THE SHIPPING WORLD, a monthly publication founded by his family in 1937.  Canadian Sailings evolved from SEAPORTS and became a weekly publication. Initially, Canadian Sailings carried shipping schedules with some editorial coverage. However, as time went by, shipping schedules became less and less important, while editorial coverage about the marine industry became the mainstay of the publication. On January 1, 2010, its then owner, U.S.-based UBM Global Trade, sold Canadian Sailings to its Canadian management, which incorporated Great White Publications Inc. to operate the resulting business.
