Partners Joining to Support National, Energy and Economic Security
Not since the Second World War has the maritime industry been so recognized as critical to national, economic and energy security. The United States’ vulnerabilities are being played out in global trade and defense concerns. That is why SHIPPINGInsight is focusing on its revitalization October 15-16 at the Houston Marriott South near Hobby Airport. The event will feature an all-day conference on October 15th, including SHIPPINGInsight’s signature SHARK TANK, with an invitation-only Leadership Forum on October 16th to share information and build collaborations for this important work.
This year’s conference will focus on “Revitalizing the US Maritime Industry: Next Steps”, considering the activity surrounding the SHIPS for America Act and the Executive Order, whose reports will have been filed by the time of the conference. The Leadership Forum intends to address building collaborations leading to implementation by key stakeholders. Chairing the event will be Darren Shelton, Sales Director Moran Shipping Agencies and VP/Co-Founder FuelTrust.
SHIPPINGInsight is currently inviting partners who support this mission to join the discussion. Two Platinum Partners, the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and Moran Shipping Agencies, have already accepted the invitation to contribute towards the solutions-oriented program which will include the following:
