The Wisconsin Domestic Maritime Coalition (WIDMAC), comprised of employers and unions from around the Badger State, will educate state leaders, media and policy makers on the importance of Wisconsin?s maritime workforce, advocating for the nearly 10,000 domestic maritime workers across the state that continue to keep America?s maritime supply chain moving forward in a safe and efficient manner.

Wisconsin Shipyard Receives Funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation
Each year, the U.S. Department of Transportation?s Maritime Administration (MARAD) awards millions of dollars in discretionary grants to U.S. small shipyards across the nation through the Small Shipyard Grant Program. This funding works to ensure that America?s shipyards remain competitive amidst a rapidly changing global marketplace, while providing jobs for working families in their communities.
Fraser Shipyards, Inc. of Superior, WI, which offers services from emergency repairs to brand-new craft to large industrial fabrications, will receive nearly $800,000 as part of this program.
