Tom Allegretti, Chairman of the American Maritime Partnership, today highlighted the continued renaissance of the nation’s maritime sector, particularly its robust response to meet new water transportation demands created by the surge in domestic energy production.

Such action would “undermine America’s national, economic and homeland security.”  To the press release, click here. To read Mr. Allegretti's remarks, click here.
