Marine transportation in the Bay Area is supported and enhanced around
the clock by the Marine Exchange, a non-profit, membership organization.
Its primary efforts focus on collecting and disseminating shipping
information, facilitating communication and discussion in the community,
and identifying and developing improvements.
The scope of the activities in which the Marine Exchange is involved
is as broad as that of the shipping industry itself. It ranges from
forecasting, tracking, statistical analysis, operational support and
communications to industry forums and collaborative programs.
The Marine Exchange is also a charter member of MISNA, an association
of maritime service organizations which pool resources and information
to offer a broader range of services and coverage.
