International Propeller Club – Promoting the Maritime Industry Since 1927 (original) (raw)

We are the International Propeller Club

Welcome –

The International Propeller Club is a grassroots, non-profit organization whose membership resides throughout the United States and the world. It is the largest network of individuals dedicated to the enhancement and well-being of all interests of the maritime community on a national and international basis.

The club promotes the maritime industry through its many programs and by partnering with similar organizations. Its goal is to educate legislators and the public as to the importance and necessity of all waterborne commerce and to advocate for the maritime industry worldwide.

The club recognizes the significance of the shortage of maritime workers due to the aging workforce and the increased demand for shipping and recruits the workforce of tomorrow through its Student Ports.

In 2027, we will celebrate the historic milestone of 100 years of supporting and promoting the maritime industry. Stay tuned for more information to help us celebrate this landmark anniversary.

If you are interested in being an advocate for the maritime industry, please join one of our Clubs.

Respectfully,
Maria Conatser
International President
