The magazine MarineForum is published ten times a year. The publication of the Naval Officers' Association (MOV) is published by the German Maritime Institute (DMI). It is independent, non-partisan and is neither directly nor indirectly supported by ministries or other German authorities. This independence gives the magazine the character of a forum in which contradictory opinions are also discussed.
