American Maritime Partnership (AMP), a group supporting the US domestic maritime industry, has given its ‘Champion of Maritime’ award to congressman John Garamendi.
Garamendi, a long-time supporter of the US cabotage laws known as the Jones Act, received the honor due to his continued dedication to the American maritime industry through his years of work in the US Congress.
The award was given during a ceremony in representative Garamendi’s home state of California at California State University Maritime Academy on 17 September.
