Full Speed Ahead 2025

In 2021, we adopted Full Speed Ahead 2025, a dynamic strategic action plan designed to enhance our services to deserving seafarers and TO create maritime awareness and involvement opportunities for our community members.

​

Full Speed Ahead 2025 includes a series of new programs and special events that will educate the community about the importance of the maritime industry to our daily lives.  These programs will also invite the community to engage in reflective, artistic and physical activities along the beautiful shoreline.

Finally, these programs will create a vibrant, welcoming and hospitable environment into which visiting seafarers enter to experience the richness and diversity of the Bay area culture.
