Welcome to the Connecticut Maritime Association

Where shipping business gets done!

The Connecticut Maritime Association is a non-profit organization which was built by its members, for its members, and as such is one of kind.

Unlike many similar organizations which are supported largely by corporate membership, the CMA’s voting membership is comprised only of individuals. From bunker brokers and tug-boat operators to lawyers and underwriters, to ship owners, brokers and managers, shippers and merchants of all kinds of cargo, each CMA member has an equal and separate vote.

The CMA was created to build a community of shipping people, and remains a conduit for the exchange of information and a source of camaraderie and fellowship that is unique and vital to the shipping community. In 2022, the CMA celebrates its 39th anniversary. It prospers with over 1,500 members representing nearly 500 companies and organizations.

From the Desk of the President…

By the time this comes to print, CMA Shipping 2024 will be upon us!

There is so much to celebrate this year, in particular, the 40th Anniversary of the Connecticut Maritime Association.  40 years.  When you reflect upon how much change has occurred in our industry over the last 4 decades, it is impressive and staggering.  And while much has changed, it’s interesting to note how the themes and concerns of the shipping industry remain the same.  Geo-political developments, shifting trade patterns, advancements in ship technologies, concerns of the sailors, the challenges associated with financing the business, and now, our daily discussions on environmental impacts and sustainable solutions.  All of these will be covered and more over the next few days.  The agenda is truly jam packed, so hop on over to the Hilton and join us!  You can always purchase a day pass.  The agenda can be found here: https://informaconnect.com/cma-shipping/agenda/1/

We will also be celebrating our new Commodore: Mr. Michael D. Tusiani.  Michael has been a constant in the NY/CT Shipping community since 1973 when he joined Poten & Partners.  His commitment to building up generations of people in shipping, is the epitome of why good brokers are not only important, but are critical to the success of shipping companies and personnel globally.  I am personally looking forward to clinking glasses and thanking Michael for all that he has given to our community.

We also have lots of other surprises and awards to give out over the next couple of days.  I look forward to seeing most of you in person and am eternally grateful to all of those to take the time to present, exhibit, share ideas and be good shipmates and members of the CMA community.
