Overview
A New Standard for American Shipping
The Ship American Council is advancing a clear definition of what it means to support U.S.-flag shipping and strengthen the American maritime system.
By defining a set of guiding principles that reinforce the importance of American maritime capacity, we help strengthen supply chain resilience and domestic economic security.
This effort creates a shared understanding that allows the public, policymakers, and stakeholders to better recognize how companies contribute to the strength and reliability of the American maritime industry.
The Ship American Council will continue to provide clarity and guidance that supports a stronger, more resilient American maritime system.
