IBM David Matsuda, Administrator, U.S. Maritime Administration

The Business of Government Hour is a weekly conversation with a government executive who is changing the way government does business... Here's an excerpt of my conversation with David Matsuda.

Maritime transportation is a vital industry, contributing more than $10 billion per year to the national economy.

The marine transportation industry has also evolved into a highly sophisticated, global, intermodal transportation network.

Thousands of vessels ply the world's vast ocean highways and America's waterways carrying huge quantities of consumer goods and other cargo.

It is the U.S. Maritime Administration that focuses on developing and maintaining a vital and viable U.S. merchant marine for commerce, emergency response, and national security.

What are the key challenges facing the maritime transportation system in the 21st century?

How is the Maritime Administration working to enhance the competitiveness of U.S. transport providers and manufacturers?

What is Maritime Administration doing to modernize its business processes and use resources more efficiently?

We will explore these questions and so much more with our very special guest, David Matsuda, Administrator of the Maritime Administration within the U.S. Department of Transportation
