Welcome to the Connecticut Maritime Association

Where shipping business gets done!

The Connecticut Maritime Association is a non-profit organization which was built by its members, for its members, and as such is one of kind.

Unlike many similar organizations which are supported largely by corporate membership, the CMA’s voting membership is comprised only of individuals. From bunker brokers and tug-boat operators to lawyers and underwriters, to ship owners, brokers and managers, shippers and merchants of all kinds of cargo, each CMA member has an equal and separate vote.

The CMA was created to build a community of shipping people, and remains a conduit for the exchange of information and a source of camaraderie and fellowship that is unique and vital to the shipping community. In 2022, the CMA celebrates its 39^th anniversary. It prospers with over 1,500 members representing nearly 500 companies and organizations.

From the Desk of the President…

Dear Members:

Welcome to the dog days of summer! I hope everyone is doing the needed rain dance ahead of this week’s Lobster Bake! Regardless of the weather, I’m sure it will be a very good time with the usual amazing turnout.

As you know we take a break after the lobster bake with regards to events until
September, but fear not, we have a solid calendar of events coming your way.

Enjoy the summer everyone! Try not to work too hard!

Best wishes,

John
