The Next Generation of the Logistics Workforce

Topic: On January 1, 2011, the oldest Baby Boomers started turning 65. Every day, about 10,000 boomers cross that threshold. By 2030, when all Baby Boomers will have turned 65, fully 18% of the nation’s population will be at least that age, according to Pew Research Center population projections. Today, just 13% of Americans are ages 65 and older. The industry is all facing a talent gap and need to proactively recruit and retain employees – and bring more diversity into maritime and logistics work if it is to be successful. This panel will discuss what various sectors are doing to proactively work on this challenge – from seafarer needs and terminal labor to shoreside business roles.

Successful Strategies to Manage Growth and Risk on the Busiest Ship Channel in the US

Topic: Promoting growth and managing risk don’t have to be mutually exclusive. On the busiest ship channel in the US by vessel movements and tonnage, governmental regulators and industry have developed collaborative processes that achieve both. Through a massive channel improvement project, regular channel maintenance dredging, and occasional seasonal weather closures, stakeholders have developed protocols that positively contribute to channel efficiency and navigation safety.
