Transportation System and we will always endeavor to strike the appropriate balance. 179 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE We’ve been in this business for 179 years… Our Marine Safety mission was born in 1838 out of catastrophe (exploding steamboats and countless lost lives) through an Act of Congress. Sure, we face complex challenges today. But I ask, what major changes in our Maritime Industry haven’t been viewed as complex at the time? Ships went from wood to iron and sail to steam… From signal flags to radios. Our lighthouses used to be fires on a hill. And, just think about when we went to containerization. With almost 2 centuries under our belts, we’ve got a pretty well oiled machine when it comes to facilitating prosperity. We have a well flushed out, common-sense, predictable, and fair approach that levels the playing field, provides certainty, and can be built into successful business models.
