The Chamber of Marine Commerce (CMC) is the voice of the commercial marine industry. Our members are:

• Domestic and international ship owners and ship operators
  
• Canadian and U.S. ports
  
• Industrial shippers (esp. grain, iron ore, steel, cement, sugar, salt, coal, ...)
  
• Canadian and American Seaway corporations
  
• Terminals, elevators, and logistics companies
  
• Marine-related companies

The CMC represents over 170 companies that rely on marine transportation to deliver products and materiel that serve people all over the world. Grain, sugar, salt, iron ore, steel, stone, cement, aluminum, clothing, furniture, computers, electronics and most consumer goods, ... almost everything, at least in part, has been on a ship.

CMC's advocacy on marine and transportation issues extends to the Canadian and provincial governments and to U.S. federal and state governments and agencies.

The marine industry is vital to our prosperity by enabling efficient trade within North America and around the world. As the safest, most efficient and environmentally smart method of carrying bulk freight, the increased use of marine transportation alleviates highway congestion, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and is a vital catalyst to overall economic prosperity.

CMC membership is unique

The CMC represents not only marine industry service providers, but also their customers: large industrial companies that need competitive marine systems and services in order to get goods and materiel to and from market. So the CMC community consists of a uniquely broad spectrum of marine industy stakeholders and, through this unique, inclusive membership base, provides respected advocacy for marine related issues with a national perspective. CMC also offers a bi-national perspective with a membership base that includes both Canadian and U.S. organizations, ... the only bi-national organization of its kind.
