Webinar – U.S. Port Challenges: Executive Perspectives
Join Marine Log for a webinar, “U.S. Port Challenges: Executive Perspectives,” on Thursday, October 16, 2 PM ET.
There are more than 300 ports in the U.S., which are a fundamental part of the country’s maritime transportation system. Thousands of vessels utilize these ports and terminals to offload or load cargo, which is then sent out via rail, road, air or back on the water. Ports are a key contributor to economic and national security, and it’s important to the maritime industry to advance transportation policy that supports ports’ role in delivering economic prosperity. This webinar will discuss these topics and more with some of the country’s most important inland and coastal ports and port associations.
What You’ll Learn:
- What coastal and inland ports are expecting in 2024 and how that will impact maritime shipping customers;
- An in-depth look at challenges faced by U.S. ports today and into the new year;
- Why infrastructure investments in America’s ports are crucial to the economy and what still needs to be done;
- Why security for ports needs bolstered;
- What federal funding is available to ports, and more.
