The American Maritime Congress is a research and educational organization focused on informing the public, media, and lawmakers in Washington, D.C. about issues affecting the U.S. merchant marine, including the ships and the companies that employ mariners. Its work centers on maritime policy, national defense policy, and tax policy, with an emphasis on a responsible commercially operating fleet and a level playing field to support the U.S.-Flag maritime industry and national economic security. Based in Washington, D.C., the organization has historically advocated for perspectives relevant to globalization, national security, free trade, and transportation economics as they pertain to maritime interests. Founded as a platform for discussing policy and industry challenges, AMC engages with topics such as the Jones Act, domestic and international shipping, and labor considerations that affect maritime operations. A recent development noted in public updates is the appointment of a new executive director, reflecting ongoing organizational leadership activity. The group positions itself within the maritime transportation sector as a policy-focused advocate and information resource for stakeholders connected to the U.S. merchant marine.
