AMIC is an industry-led facilitation and coordination platform designed to strengthen and operationalize the U.S. maritime industrial base.
The United States has renewed its commitment to maritime revitalization through historic legislation and federal leadership. AMIC aims to bridge the execution divide between:
AMIC is where America's maritime industry organizes to rebuild. We map industrial capacity, match partners to projects, and deliver actionable intelligence—bridging the gap between policy mandates and on-the-ground execution.
AMIC operates as a neutral, membership-based industrial platform, an execution-oriented coalition, and a coordination and matchmaking layer.
AMIC concentrates on three interconnected priorities:
Commercial and defense vessel construction capacity across U.S. yards.
The supply chain, component manufacturing, and production infrastructure that shipbuilding depends on.
The skilled workers, training pipelines, and apprenticeship programs required to scale.
AMIC leads development of the U.S. Maritime Revitalization Agenda—an industry-driven framework for rebuilding America's maritime capacity.
In October 2025, 49 maritime leaders convened at the SHIPPINGInsight Leadership Roundtable to identify the structural barriers to U.S. maritime growth. The result was a constraint-based analysis—five barriers and an implementation roadmap—now being operationalized through AMIC. The framework is recognized in the context of the 2025 National Security Strategy.
A National Blueprint for Industrial Renewal, Security, and Competitiveness
Distills the October 2025 SHIPPINGInsight Leadership Roundtable: five structural barriers to U.S. maritime growth and an implementation roadmap, now being operationalized through AMIC.
Industry-Policy Alignment on What Needs to Be Done
Synthesizes roundtable findings with Congressional testimony on the SHIPS for America Act, showing alignment between policymakers and industry on priorities for restoring U.S. maritime strength.
Maritime Implications of the 2025 National Security Strategy
Examines how the 2025 NSS makes industrial capacity a core pillar of national power and what that implies for maritime—and why private-sector coordination is a national imperative.
An Industry Readiness Assessment
A structured industry assessment of the White House's February 2026 Maritime Action Plan (MAP). Finds that the MAP's four pillars and 21 provisions align with AMIC's Maritime Revitalization Agenda—and examines the coordination challenge at the center of implementation.
AMIC is led by a team of maritime professionals who adopt a comprehensive and holistic approach. Recognizing the existing gaps between dialogue, government discussions, and commercial realities, our goal is to bridge these gaps. We aim to facilitate and accelerate the nation's shipbuilding capabilities while providing American sealift capacity that meets the requirements for ensuring our national, economic, energy, food, climate, and workforce security.
