U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced the appointment of 25 new members to the Maritime Transportation System National Advisory Committee (MTSNAC) on June 8. According to the committee's charter, it will advise the secretary, through the Maritime Administration (MarAd) administrator, on ways to identify and address impediments hindering the effective use of short sea transportation. The new members will serve on the MTSNAC during the implementation of the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, when addressing supply chains and moving goods to market has never been more important, MarAd noted in the announcement. "Our maritime industry plays a central role in our supply chains and our economic strength as a nation," Buttigieg said. "These new members will help us deliver the maritime investments in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, fighting inflation and reducing delays for the American people." |
