Have you ever wondered where most of the items in your home came from or how your stores are always reliably stocked with your favorite items?  You can thank the proud men and women of your Maritime community and associated industries that support the movement of goods and services.

Join us for a replay of the Maritime Gala to hear how the resilience of the Maritime Association of South Carolina (MASC) members allowed them to not only succeed in 2020, but also surpass records from prior years.  Help us recognize and celebrate those leaders whose sustained performance stood out as the best of the best while learning how this industry drives the economy and allows South Carolinians to sustain their quality of life.
