Stephen M. Carmel Named MARAD Administrator
In this role, Carmel will advise and support U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on multiple matters including commercial maritime policy, the U.S. maritime industry and strategic sealift.

Before being confirmed as the MARAD administrator, Carmel worked as the senior vice president of maritime services at Maersk Line, Limited (MLL) with full P & L responsibility for MLL’s U.S. Marine Management Inc. business unit.
