摘要：	The Inland Marine Expo (IMX) kicked off its 10-year anniversary from Nashville, Tenn., by highlighting the challenges the industry faces, and the actions being taken to resolve them. "One of the biggest challenges that we have as an industry and that we're all faced with, whether you're a shipyard, a harbor operator, inland or offshore, is workforce and workforce development," said Clark Todd, president and CEO of tank barge operator Blessey Marine Services, New Orleans. Todd mentioned the uptick he has seen in talent development positions, a role that was almost nonexistent a decade ago, and how those positions are critical in resolving the workforce issue. Defending the Jones Act is also a top priority for the inland marine system. Under the Jones Act, a U.S.-flagged vessel that sails from one U.S. port to another must be built in a U.S. shipyard, owned by a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and operated by a U.S. company or individual.
