Our government has a responsibility to facilitate this transition, both to achieve desirable environmental benefits and to facilitate creating a domestic industry that can support and supply \u2018green\u2019 supply chains. The Federal Maritime Commission has an important role to play in the transition to alternative fuels by ensuring competitive and reliable ocean transportation systems that support the U.S. economy. The United States can be a global leader in this field if our industry prioritizes alternative marine fuels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commissioner Sola\u2019s recent letter to President Biden highlighted the necessity of establishing U.S. government financial incentives that promote the switch to alternative fuels in ocean shipping similar to those that exist for the aviation industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTransitioning to maritime alternative fuels on a global scale is an expansive and expensive undertaking. Finding ways to provide financial assistance through incentives and offsets is an appropriate way for the U.S. Government to make a constructive contribution toward decarbonizing shipping. We are doing it for aviation, we should be doing it for maritime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US Energy Policy panel included Commissioner Sola, Amy Andryszak, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America; Peter Keller, Chairman of SEA-LNG; and Captain Dan Cost, Chief Office of Design and Engineering Standards, U.S. Coast Guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The panel took place the morning of November 15, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Louis E.
