Edwin Lampert has shaped maritime journalism over nearly two decades, beginning with the 2007 launch of Tanker Shipping & Trade. His early work established the magazine as a market leader by forging partnerships with organizations like INTERTANKO and OCIMF[2][5]. By 2010, as Group Managing Editor, he expanded Riviera’s portfolio to include Ballast Water Treatment Technology and Singapore Solutions, cementing his reputation for identifying industry gaps[2][4].
"Edwin’s approach has been driven by a focus, commitment, and dedication to the maritime and offshore industries." – Steve Labdon, Riviera Managing Director[2]
This 2025 analysis dissected the financial viability of dual-fuel engines amid tightening emissions regulations. Lampert highlighted case studies from Asian shipbuilders and quantified ROI timelines, influencing procurement decisions across mid-sized tanker fleets[9].
As founding editor, Lampert designed this platform to bridge technical experts and policymakers. The conference’s "no-sales-pitch" policy, emphasizing peer learning, became a model for Riviera’s later events[2][5].
His 2017 pivot to digital prioritized real-time data integration, increasing Riviera’s online engagement by 300% within 18 months. The webinar format democratized access to niche technical content[2][4].
Lampert prioritizes stories where IMO regulations spur technological adaptation. Example: His 2024 series on carbon capture retrofit challenges included interviews with class societies and engine manufacturers. Pitches should include regulatory timelines, cost-benefit data, and cross-industry collaboration angles[2][9].
Articles like his analysis of Suez Canal disruptions (2023) emphasize ripple effects across energy and bulk shipping. Successful pitches map localized events (e.g., port strikes) to global trade flows, preferably with proprietary freight rate data[5][8].
While avoiding puff pieces, Lampert explores leadership challenges in transitional times. His 2024 profile of a Maersk Tankers CEO highlighted decarbonization workforce training programs. Ideal subjects lead companies with verifiable ESG metric improvements[2][4].
Seahorse Award for Maritime Journalism (2014): Recognized investigative work on ballast water treatment system failures, which prompted revised industry maintenance guidelines[2][5].
