MARAD Leader Set to Address Industry Challenges and Opportunities
SHIPPINGInsight has announced that Captain Stephen Carmel, U.S. Maritime Administrator, will present the opening keynote at PROJECT 2027: Catalyzing the U.S. Maritime Industry into Action, a high-level conference organized in collaboration with the American Maritime Industrial Coalition (AMIC).
The event, scheduled for later this year, will gather senior maritime professionals, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to discuss strategic initiatives shaping the future of U.S. shipping, shipbuilding, and workforce development.
Captain Carmel’s address is expected to outline key priorities for the Maritime Administration (MARAD), including regulatory modernization, infrastructure investment, and efforts to strengthen domestic maritime capabilities in response to evolving global trade dynamics.
PROJECT 2027 will feature panel discussions, technical workshops, and networking sessions focused on decarbonization, digitalization, and supply chain resilience—critical themes for U.S.-flagged operators and maritime service providers.
Further details on the conference agenda and registration will be released in the coming weeks.
