Welcome to gCaptain!

We are the world’s leading maritime and offshore website, and we are dedicated to quality news and building an interactive community of maritime professionals.

Our founder, Captain John Konrad, started gCaptain in 2007, and since then we have grown into the go-to source for maritime news, information, and networking. gCaptain’s editorial is managed by Mike Schuler, who can be reached at [email protected].

gCaptain promotes user interaction, discussion, and the sharing of ideas and information through social media tools. By bridging the communication gap between print and the end reader, gCaptain fosters ideas that improve safety and efficiency aboard ships globally. gCaptain.com has grown quickly in the past few years to become the leading online destination for maritime and offshore professionals, currently welcoming hundreds of thousands of unique visitors a month who view millions of pages.

At gCaptain, we’re committed to providing news and community platforms to professionals working at sea. Even though we’re growing quickly, we’re still focused on our mission.
