Washington Maritime Blue is an initiative of the Federation to further support the intersection of clean technology, job skills training and economic development in the maritime sector including: 
  • Ongoing interaction between industry, agencies and economic development organizations on the opportunities and benefits of sustainability in the industry
  • Public & Policy Maker outreach and education on the intersection of Clean Technology and Maritime sectors, including showcasing models and examples
  • Public and Private incentives for clean fuels, emerging technology, best practices, waste management and emission reduction
  • Increased sustainability education and emerging technology instruction in maritime training
  • Promotion of voluntary environmental performance criteria in the many sub-sectors of the maritime industry
Comprised of labor, business and maritime organizations across the state, the Washington Maritime Federation works in partnership with local and national organizations to highlight leadership from within, support business and workforce development and advocate for balanced regulation and incentives. Our members, with stakeholders across the state, are leading towards a sustainable maritime transportation system with:
  • Increased design and manufacturing in the commercial and recreational market for solutions such as propulsion, coatings, composites, energy storage and more.
  • The most advanced architectural, engineering and design teams working on vessels around the world.
  • Maritime businesses and organizations working in concert, and beyond, environmental regulation to ensure best management practices and increased use of clean technology.
  • Ports, maritime and logistics companies recognized as international leaders for sustainable operations and practices.
  • Workforce training and education with a focus on the next generation of green jobs within the maritime industry.
