David F. Adam, Chairman and CEO, United States Maritime Alliance
JOC Team |
We in the maritime industry will be facing new changes and challenges this year. In the aftermath of the devastating economic downturn in 2009, shipping business on the East and Gulf coasts of the United States has been slowly, but steadily, creeping back. Volumes are steadily growing, and our efforts to meet world-class standards of productivity in our member ports, while challenging, are starting to bear fruit.
