Join the Transportation Marketing & Sales Association (TMSA) and Women in Maritime Operations (WIMOs) for an insightful joint webinar exploring the essential differences—and critical intersections—between ocean and land-based logistics. This session will demystify the world of maritime transportation, breaking down the wide range of services offered across the shipping industry and spotlighting how these services connect with inland transportation networks. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the key operational, regulatory, and communication differences between moving freight by sea versus over-the-road. The webinar will also feature IMC, a leading drayage transportation company, offering a first-hand account of what it’s like to handle port pickups and the vital role dray carriers play in completing the first and final mile of international freight. Port Houston is a vital gateway for international trade and one of the busiest ports in the United States and is the largest container port on the U.S. Gulf Coast, handling approximately two-thirds of all container traffic in the region. It also ranks No. 1 in the United States for foreign waterborne tonnage. Plus, learn more about WIMOs' membership, how they empower women in maritime.
