Washington -- Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., was honored Friday night by USA Maritime, an association that represents ship owners, maritime labor groups and maritime trade groups. Awards like this are regular occurrences on Capitol Hill, but the name of this one is special: "The Admiral of the Ocean Sea Award."
Landrieu was cited for her support of the industry, including her efforts to increase funding for port and waterways maintenance.
Said Landrieu: "Louisiana is a maritime state by nature. We have more mariners per capita than any other state, a proud ship building history, the most productive fisheries in the lower 48, and the largest port complex in the world. I understand the need to support our seafarers and maritime infrastructure as well as the critical role this industry plays in our nation's economy and security."
