Wikipedia:WikiProject Transport/Maritime transport task force

Maritime Transport task force Welcome to the Maritime Transport task force! We are a group of Wikipedia editors that work on topics related to maritime transport. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us on the task force discussion page or try the IRC channel (#wikipedia-en-transport) of the parent project. What do we do?   Our goal is to build the foremost free-content encyclopedia of maritime transport in the English language by: Creating, improving, and maintaining articles that describe all aspects of maritime transport; Providing guidelines and recommendations for editors of maritime transport articles; and Serving as the central point of discussion for all issues related to maritime transport in Wikipedia. This task force began in January 2011 when WikiProject Maritime Trades (which dates back to 25 March 2007) and WikiProject Ports (which dates back to 28 April 2005) were combined and re-imagined as a Transport task force.

What topics do we cover?   Any article that deals with the transportation of people or goods on the water, including but not limited to the following topics: Shipboard operations Safety and medical Shipboard firefighting Shipboard security Aquatic survival Shipboard medicine Seamanship Shipboard communications Electronic communications Visual signalling Shiphandling Marlinspike seamanship Navigation terrestrial celestial electronic Nautical rules of the road Marine meteorology Bridge resource management Marine engineering Naval architecture Ships stability Ship's structure Maritime business Ship chartering Shop brokerage Marine insurance Maritime law Maritime laws treaties Maritime history Maritime exploration Merchant ships, past and present Marine transport infrastructure Ports Canals Cargo-handling technology Cranes Intermodal containerization Cargo pumps Got a question, or don't see a topic mentioned here? Ask about it at the talk page. What topics do we not cover   There is an obvious overlap between this project and WP:SHIPS, however neither project contains the other. Ships that are not involved with transportation per se are outside the scope of this project, probably most notably warships, which fall within WP:SHIPS and the Maritime warfare task force. The fishing industry is mostly covered by WP:FISHING. Recent assessment   November 21, 2024 Reassessed Lekki Port (talk) reassessed. Quality rating changed from Stub-Class to C-Class.
