MarEx Podcast:

Our now regular feature is a popular staple for MarEx readers on the go. Our seventh podcast recounts our August 27th lead editorial referencing changes in the regulatory environment affecting the maritime industry. The article drew more than its share of mail and “click-through” traffic. Tune in and listen now.

MarEx Editor Joseph Keefe tells us in his August 27th editorial, entitled “Growing Up a Little Now,” that the maritime industry is all grown up now. With still more regulatory burdens (invasive species / waste water / air emissions, to name just a few) coming down the pike, however, that process is far from over. The ultimate net effect of all of it on an industry already reeling from the impact of the current financial crises is unknown. You knew it was coming and now, it is here.

The maritime aspect of the intermodal supply chain – and this had to happen sooner or later – now joins all others in terms of regulatory enforcement, prosecution and verifications. Tune in as Keefe melds fiction, fact and opinion to provide and entertaining position on the state of regulatory affairs on the water.
