The Off Radar concept was created by Grant Holmes, CEO of Progress Tourism & Business Services Ltd in synergy with Mike Hood, Maritime Journalist in May 2006. It was designed to meet the growing information demands of Cruise & Ferry Lines in addition to the Maritime Shipping industry as a whole.

The Off Radar Blog features a wide variety of interesting Shipping community related articles that provide up to date professional news and recent developments within the Maritime world from an entirely objective and independent viewpoint. In order to protect the integrity and objectivity of the Off Radar News service, no direct advertising from the Cruise, Ferry or Shipping Lines are accepted whatsoever.

All Off Radar articles are genuine with real comment, written by internationally respected and Lloyds List experienced Maritime Journalist Mike Hood and are published by Progress Media Services.

The Off Radar News service is free of charge for with a direct and to the point weekly Newsletter avoiding unnecessary log-ins, time wasting procedures or costly subscriptions.

Off Radar currently operates in 4 languages (English, Spanish, Italian, Greek). In the future we plan to feature new languages according to demand.
