Actually, this is a good intro into the next question. What are your favorite groups on LinkedIn?
A good one and probably the most active in terms of maritime affairs is
Maritime Executive with almost 4,000 members.
Of course gCaptain has a group also,
Maritime Technology & Digital Shipping, with an embarrassing 262 and
Dynamic Positioning Operators and, most interesting to everyone here,
Merchant Mariners.
