    Maritime in America Ep #76: SCA on Shipyard Capacity, CBP Waivers, and the Fight for US Shipbuilding

    This week on Maritime in America, co-hosts Aaron Smith, Ashley Smith, and Angelle Johnson are joined by two of the maritime industry's sharpest advocates: Matt Paxton, President of the Shipbuilders Council of America (SCA), and Paula Zorensky, SCA's Vice President. If OMSA represents the vessel owners, SCA represents the shipyards, and this conversation lays out why the two halves of this industry can't be separated. Matt and Paula pull back the curtain on how a trade association actually works in Washington, from Matt's years on the Senate Commerce Committee writing Coast Guard authorization bills, to Paula's deep dive into appropriations and the CBP letter ruling process most people have never heard of but should. Topics covered: How a Senate Commerce Committee staffer actually gets a bill done  Why shipbuilding capacity is a "chicken and egg" problem, not a shipyard problem The real, on-the-ground impact of Jones Act waivers on tankers, mariners, and investment Why military and commercial shipbuilding are one industrial base, not two separate worlds The Maritime Action Plan, the Ships for America Act, and what "whole of government" actually means for this industry How SCA and OMSA work together (and why that partnership matters more than ever) This is a conversation for anyone who wants to understand what's actually behind the headlines about American shipbuilding, and why the decisions being made today will shape the industry in 2030 and beyond. 🎧 Subscribe for more conversations with the leaders and professionals shaping maritime in America.
