Senate confirms Jaenichen as maritime administrator

The Senate has confirmed Paul "Chip" Jaenichen as U.S. maritime administrator.

"(American Maritime Partnership) members appreciate Administrator Jaenichen's understanding that a strong domestic maritime industry is critical for U.S. economic, national, and homeland security and that this essential industry is best supported by maintaining the Jones Act, which serves as the foundation of the nation's vibrant domestic maritime policy. We look forward to working with him to ensure that the American maritime sector can grow and thrive as we proudly continue our service to the nation," said Thomas Allegretti, chairman of AMP, a coalition of which American Maritime Officers Service is a member and which American Maritime Officers supports.
