What’s going on with the U.S. workboat sector? For many in this industry, we ask ourselves that question every day. Fortunately, Sal Mercogliano — a retired merchant mariner, maritime historian, professor, policy expert, and creator of the popular YouTube channel What’s Going On With Shipping? (560,000 subscribers and growing) — will provide answers during this year’s International WorkBoat Show.
Mercogliano will share insights on the rapid changes reshaping the U.S. maritime landscape, their potential impact on the industry, and the lessons history can offer for navigating the future of domestic shipping, shipbuilding, policy shifts, and the Jones Act market. Expect an entertaining and informative discussion that features Mercogliano’s signature in-depth analysis. The ticketed lunch session will be held on Thursday, Dec. 4, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in room R02.
