About Us 2012...

Navy League of the United States
“Citizens in Support of the Sea Services”

The Pacific Merchant Marine Council

We're for United States prosperity and that means JOBS!

The council supports and advocates for a stronger, more vibrant, merchant marine. But we don't stop there. We're for our nation’s extensive port facilities and services, shipyards that build state of the art vessels, stronger shipping companies, removing impediments to expeditiously moving goods… In short, all of our nation's maritime industry.

The council received its Navy League, www.navyleague.org, charter December 11, 2006. It has an educational outreach to the public and elected officials stressing the importance of maintaining a strong maritime force for national security, maritime superiority, and global presence.

Besides its Navy League ties, it is a member of the:
• American Maritime Partnership, www.americanmaritimepartnership.com
• California Marine & Intermodal Transportation System Advisory Council, www.calmitsac.org
• Marine Exchange of San Francisco Bay Region, www.sfmx.org
• Bay Planning Coalition, www.bayplanningcoalition.org

The council is a sponsor of and members participate in the annual Maritime Industry Congressional Sail-In on Capitol Hill, www.maritimeindustrysailin.com. At the state level, members are involved with the California Maritime Leadership Symposium, www.maritimesymposium.com and other key events.

Each year the membership continues to grow. The council has had the best growth within the League’s Pacific Central Region and is in the top echelons of the Navy League. Retention for 2008, 2010 was 100% and 2011 it was 96%!

Lively luncheon meetings with guest speakers are hosted in Oakland and aboard our adopted National Liberty Ship Memorial S. S. JEREMIAH O'BRIEN, www.ssjeremiahobrien.org, Pier 45, San Francisco (north of Fisherman's Wharf). The time is 1130 for the social and 1200 for the luncheon. We welcome guests and visitors. June 12 we gathered with San Francisco Council members at Scoma’s Restaurant on the Wharf; Ms. Monique Moyer, Executive Director, Port of San Francisco was honored.

The council initiated in 2009 a sponsoring and supporting relationship with the Arkansas Division of the Sea Cadets, www.arkansasdivision.org, San Francisco. The Division is recognized for its leader-ship, training program, and many activities. It has a Merchant Marine orientation and a band!
