__NOTOC__
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 [http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=wikipedia-en-transport the IRC channel (#wikipedia-en-transport)] of the parent project.
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Transport/Section header|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.

Got a question, or don't see a topic mentioned here? [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Transport/Maritime_transport_task_force&action=edit§ion=new Ask about it at the talk page.] {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Transport/Section header|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. {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Transport/Section header|Recent assessment}}
