Team Descriptions

At the November 18–19, 2004, MTSNAC meeting, the Council addressed team realignment and approved the reorganization of the previous nine teams into four. The new teams are:

• Education Team: Responsible for educating the general public, government officials, and industry about the flow of international commerce through the Marine Transportation System.
• Intermodal Capacity & Operations Team: Responsible for identifying and addressing critical intermodal and operational issues that directly impact the efficiency of the nation's total transportation system.
• Shipyards Team: Responsible for identifying unique and creative strategies to improve our nation's shipbuilding capabilities and enable them to contribute to the nation's economic security.
• Waterways Team: Responsible for identifying and addressing those issues which directly impact our nation's inland, Great Lakes and intercoastal waterways, ports, terminals and related infrastructure.
