13 January 2004 RODRIQUEZ CANTIERI
NAVALI "LAUNCHES" THEIR NEW CORPORATE MAGAZINE RODRIQUEZ QUARTERLY" Due to the high level of interest in the test edition of RODRIQUEZ QUARTERLY, published in September 2003 to coincide with the most important boat shows in the Mediterranean, the Messina based shipyard has been convinced that they should continue with the magazine to highlight and communicate the many technological achievements, the competence, the professionalism and the strength of one of the leading international groups building commercial ferries, military craft and pleasure boats from 14 to 150 meters in aluminium, steel and composites. Rodriquez Quarterly is published by Rodriquez's in-house commercial group along with the assistance of Milano based "Editoriale Quadra" and consists of 28 high gloss pages with high quality graphics, clean and linear, with text in both English and Italian. 3000 copies of each edition of Rodriquez Quarterly are published and distributed to key industry people including brokers and agents, suppliers, owners, other shipyards, service groups, specialist publications, the military, designers, navel architecture and marine engineering students and others. "What we are aiming at is a magazine that isn't just a showcase for our own products but also plays an active part in the growth of the industry" according to the President of Rodriquez Cantieri Navali, Nino Parisi, in the editorial page of edition 2. In each edition of the Quarterly there are articles of general interest such as an article by a leading member of the industry with an analysis of a specific segment of the marine market. Also, periodically there will be a highlight of a ship or yacht under construction as well as one of the company's shipyards. There will also be articles on the numerous ongoing technological and R&D projects along with two pages dedicated to new concepts and materials for both yachts as well as ships. To close out each edition, there is a section on the "old friends" built at Rodriquez yards to showcase one of the many older ships that has been an integral part of the history of Rodriquez.
Number 2, distributed prior to Christmas, has on the cover a photo of the "G3 Di Bartolo", the 35 meter coastal patrol boat delivered in October from Rodriquez's Intermarine yard for the Guardia di Finanza. Inside, there will be the following articles: - Forum. An article by Bianca d'Antonio on the Autostrade del Mare. - Fast Ferry.
