This planning project develops a Maritime Transportation Center (MTC) with an eyetoward the future development of one integrated vision for promoting and building the maritime and transportation industries within American port cities of the future. This consortium is a partnership of key leaders from maritime & transportation industries, educational institutions, government, and the military to further study the development of the MTC. MTC serves not only as a resource and education hub for ocean-related occupations, but also as a major resource for the entire maritime transportation system which includes the waterways, ports, and the network of railroads, roadways, and pipelines that connect the waterborne portions of the system to the rest of the nation. In order to facilitate the unique infrastructure needed to support anticipated port growth, this project addresses what workforce skills are necessary for the sustainability of a vibrant maritime and transportation environment, what training opportunities are currently available to develop the workforce to support these industries, what are the most effective pedagogical approaches, and what existing and emerging technologies are needed to support maritime and transportation curriculum development.

该规划项目开发了一个海上运输中心（MTC），着眼于未来发展的一个综合愿景，以促进和建设未来美国港口城市的海上和运输业。该联盟是来自海上运输行业，教育机构，政府和军方的主要领导人的合作伙伴关系，以进一步研究MTC的发展。MTC不仅是海洋相关职业的资源和教育中心，也是整个海上运输系统的主要资源，包括水路，港口和铁路，公路和管道网络，将系统的水上部分连接到全国其他地区。为了促进支持预期的港口增长所需的独特基础设施，该项目探讨了什么样的劳动力技能是一个充满活力的海洋和运输环境的可持续性所必需的，目前有什么培训机会来发展劳动力以支持这些行业，什么是最有效的教学方法，以及需要哪些现有的和新兴的技术来支持海事和运输课程的开发。
