The “softer” side of the UK maritime and port industry includes publishing

The UK is now the centre of the international port and maritime publishing and exhibition industry

Lloyd’s List probably started it all – in 1734

Compass hasn’t been around for that long but we have been publishing port handbooks, port maps and maritime guides for the past 30 years

We are now working on major projects with the British Ports Association/UK Major Ports Group, the Port of London Authority, Peterhead Port Authority, Puerto de Melilla and Malta Marittima

Some of our recent publications include (these are the online versions):

The “Point Lisas Handbook and Directory” for PLIPDECO

As well as publishing handbooks, guides and maps, Compass also offer web development, graphic design and other media services

Our website and digital marketing division produces user-friendly websites, for mobile, tablet and desktop devises together with social media/digital marketing programmes, website optimisation, video, interactive presentations and drone photography for web audiences
