Made your reservation for the Houston Maritime Center & Museum Industry Lecture: Maritime & Offshore Nuclear Power, guest speaker Peter Wallace, Lloyd's Register. Nuclear applications in the civil marine and offshore environment have evolved over the last 12 months, and this presentation will delve into the large-scale interest that now exists in this area. Wallace will look forward on the challenges to come and see what to expect in the following 12 months across the domains of floating nuclear power, offshore nuclear, and ultimately the application of nuclear to shipping. Nuclear is emerging as a potential game-changer for the shipping and offshore industries. Nuclear-powered ships, while not a new concept, could offer a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional fuels.

Made your reservation for the Houston Maritime Center & Museum Industry Lecture: Zero Point Four: How U.S. Leadership in Maritime Will Secure America’s Future? Rear Admiral Jim Watson (USCG, Ret.) will be sharing insight on “ZERO POINT FOUR,” a book he spearheaded with support from other maritime, ocean, and security experts. The book explores how the U.S. – a maritime nation – finds itself on a cliff. After WWII, over half the world’s ocean-going commercial ships flew the U.S. flag. Today, it is less than 0.4%. This researched work scrutinizes the U.S. maritime industry’s significance to America through five ‘Principles:’ National, Economic, Energy and Food, Climate, and Workforce Security. As the world grapples with uncertainty – pandemics, conflicts, and climate crises – America’s reliance on a robust maritime sector has never been more crucial. “ZERO POINT FOUR” is a roadmap to a more secure, preeminent, and viable United States. The lecture will be followed by a reception sponsored by Maine Maritime Academy.  For details and to make reservations, go to https://lnkd.in/gCq9yKwp. #Houstonport #maritime #transportation #HoustonShipChannel #museum #TexasN #ZeroPointFour #leadership #workforce #security
