An industry-led coalition bridging U.S. maritime policy and execution — coordinating shipyards, suppliers, and workforce partners to rebuild America's maritime industrial base.
Policy-to-Execution Bridge
AMIC's core mission — connecting federal maritime strategy and legislation (like the SHIPS for America Act and the Maritime Action Plan) with the private-sector capabilities needed to actually deliver results. The coalition positions itself as the execution layer between policy mandates and on-the-ground industrial capacity.
Industrial Capability Mapping
AMIC focuses on three interconnected priority areas — Shipbuilding (commercial and defense vessel construction capacity across U.S. yards), Industrial Base (the supply chain and component manufacturing shipbuilding depends on), and Workforce (skilled labor, training pipelines, and apprenticeship programs needed to scale).
Maritime Revitalization Research
AMIC leads the U.S. Maritime Revitalization Agenda, an industry-driven framework built from roundtables with dozens of maritime leaders. The coalition publishes ongoing whitepapers analyzing structural barriers to growth, alignment with national security strategy, and readiness assessments against federal policy like the Maritime Action Plan.
Coordination & Matchmaking Layer
AMIC operates as a neutral, membership-based platform that matches industry partners to projects — helping shipyards, suppliers, ports, technology providers, workforce organizations, and capital partners find and coordinate with one another.
Leadership & Industry Expertise
A team of maritime professionals spanning strategic architecture, capital and financing, policy intelligence, regional execution (Gulf Coast/Texas), industry convening, and federal alignment — bridging gaps between government discussions and commercial realities.
Regional & National Coordination
AMIC supports the development of Maritime Prosperity Zones, helping regional maritime ecosystems (Pacific Northwest, Gulf Coast, inland supplier corridors) organize around national policy like the Maritime Action Plan and SHIPS for America Act.
Industry Events & Roundtables
AMIC convenes and tracks leadership roundtables and forums (e.g. the SHIPPINGInsight Leadership Roundtable, National Maritime Week Leadership Forum) where structural barriers and implementation roadmaps are identified and shaped into coalition strategy.
Coalition Membership & Intelligence Brief
Organizations can join AMIC's growing network and subscribe to an intelligence brief for ongoing updates — turning interested stakeholders into active participants in rebuilding U.S. maritime industrial strength.
What is AMIC?
AMIC (American Maritime Industrial Coalition) is an industry-led facilitation and coordination platform working to strengthen and operationalize the U.S. maritime industrial base. It bridges the gap between federal maritime strategy/legislation and the private-sector capabilities needed to deliver results — connecting shipyards, suppliers, workforce organizations, and capital partners across the industry.
The Problem We Solve
Maritime industry stakeholders face a fragmented landscape that slows down national revitalization efforts:
- Disconnected Stakeholders – Shipyards, suppliers, workforce programs, and policymakers operate in silos with no shared coordination layer.
- Policy-to-Execution Gap – Federal maritime legislation and strategy exist, but there's no clear bridge translating mandates into private-sector action.
- Scattered Research & Intelligence – Whitepapers, industry assessments, and policy analysis are published across multiple sources with no central, discoverable hub.
- Low Visibility on Events & Engagement – Industry roundtables, leadership forums, and coalition activities lack a single place for stakeholders to track and join.
- Weak Coalition Growth Pipeline – Without a structured intelligence signup and outreach flow, the coalition struggles to convert stakeholder interest into active membership.
AMIC exists to eliminate these barriers as a neutral, membership-based industrial platform, an execution-oriented coalition, and a coordination and matchmaking layer for the U.S. maritime industry.
Who Is AMIC For?
- Shipyards & Shipbuilders – Commercial and defense vessel construction companies looking to align with national revitalization efforts.
- Industrial Suppliers – Component manufacturers and supply chain partners supporting shipbuilding capacity.
- Workforce & Training Organizations – Apprenticeship programs and training pipelines feeding the maritime labor force.
- Policy & Government Stakeholders – Federal agencies and legislators tracking industry alignment with national maritime strategy.
- Capital & Investment Partners – Organizations evaluating investment opportunities in maritime industrial infrastructure.
