The American maritime sector is facing a moment of great opportunity. Federal engagement and investment are growing, industry excitement is renewed, and with new work coming down the pipeline, there’s great potential for companies across the ecosystem to reap the rewards.
Beginning with keynote remarks from Stephen M. Carmel, Administrator of the Maritime Administration (MARAD), this session will focus on the pathways and next steps for the U.S. to realize this once-in-a-generation opportunity to revitalize its maritime industrial base, expand shipbuilding capacity, fortify defense capabilities, and regain global competitiveness.
Following the keynote, a panel of speakers will then discuss the new initiatives coming out of the Maritime Action Plan and what it means for businesses, explore how shipyards, manufacturers, and the broader supplier base will need to shift to keep up with the growth of new projects, and offer recommendations for companies looking to move into the defense sector.
