About AMIC
Coordination, not advocacy. Execution, not research.
Who We Are
AMIC is a neutral, membership-based platform designed to coordinate and strengthen the U.S. maritime industrial base.
We connect shipyards, suppliers, workforce programs, capital providers, and government stakeholders to facilitate execution across the maritime ecosystem.
We don't lobby. We don't publish position papers. We coordinate and execute.
Our Purpose
AMIC's purpose is to serve as a neutral, nonpartisan industry platform that aligns private-sector capabilities with public-sector priorities by:
- •Facilitating coordination across shipbuilding, ship repair, ports, logistics, suppliers, technology providers, workforce, and finance
- •Supporting the mapping, analysis, and visibility of maritime industrial capacity, capabilities, and supply chains
- •Enabling collaboration, partner discovery, and project matchmaking to advance maritime programs, investments, and commercial opportunities
- •Producing and disseminating maritime industrial intelligence, insights, tools, and best practices to inform strategic and operational decision-making
- •Advancing workforce development, innovation adoption, and industrial resilience in support of U.S. economic competitiveness and national security objectives
The Coalition operates to enhance coordination, information-sharing, facilitation and execution across the U.S. maritime ecosystem.
