Where the 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 a 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. It prospers with over 1,500 members representing nearly 500 companies and organizations.
