The U.S. Department of Transportation has introduced the appointment of 13 inaugural members of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) Advisory Council, 5 of whom are Kings Point graduates, together with one member of the category of 2022.

Specifically, NAPA’s report advisable that the U.S. Department of Transportation constitution an advisory council to advise the Secretary of Transportation on issues associated to bettering the academy. This advice was codified within the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

“For the past two years, we have been working to address urgent challenges at the USMMA, and to provide its cadets with the resources and support they need and deserve,” stated U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “We are grateful to members of the Advisory Council for stepping up at this consequential moment and helping guide our continuing efforts to strengthen the academy and ensure the safety and success of its students.”

The USMMA Advisory Council will present recommendation concerning the prioritization of NAPA’s suggestions, in addition to suggest measures to make sure that the USMMA’s curriculum is retaining tempo with the technological advances within the maritime trade.

“The members of the USMMA Advisory Council are lending their expertise to help us consider how to position the academy for success for the next eight decades,” stated Maritime Administrator Ann C. Phillips. “We look forward to working closely with them and to receiving the benefit of their insights and recommendations.”
