Admiral Karl Schultz, Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, addressed the National Harbor Safety Committee Conference as the closing keynote speaker. He commended the work of the harbor safety committees, noting that “it’s collaboration, it’s partnership, it’s trust” developed through such organizations that enable safe and efficient commerce in the increasingly complex maritime transportation system. Admiral Schultz also presented the Lone Star Harbor Safety Committee the award of Harbor Safety Committee of the Year for 2017-2019, an honor shared with the Chicago Harbor Safety Committee.
