Countdown to MarAd mission accomplished

摘要

Twenty-three months ago when Sean Connaughton answered a presidential request to become maritime administrator, he knew he had a big job to do and a short time to accomplish it. Now, with only five months remaining, he tells Fairplay that's he's pleased with the progress the agency has made in the past two years but he says he still has a lot to do in the closing months.rnHe looks with pride on the deals he helped strike between US maritime academies, training schools, unions and ocean carriers to promote American seafarers and cadets.
