Your Voice in the Port
The Maritime Exchange has long been the strongest, most effective advocate for the Delaware River port community. With a range of initiatives designed to protect the businesses that make this community unique and successful, the Exchange is the only organization that speaks on behalf of all segments of the Delaware River maritime industry. Whether an issue is international, national, or local in scope, if it affects the maritime industry, we work to ensure that members’ views are considered as part of the decision-making process. Our successes are due to the positive working relationships with federal agencies, state and local government officials, regional Congressional members, and a strong and effective membership voice.
A membership in the Maritime Exchange connects you to legislators, regulators, policymakers, and government agencies concerned with international transportation issues such as users fees, federal staffing levels, trade and quota issues, physical and cyber security, automation, safety, the environment, and dredging.
