Last week Maritime Reporter & Engineering News had the opportunity to sit with Admiral Karl Schultz, Commandant of the Coast Guard, U.S. Coast Guard, in his office in Washington, D.C. for a wide ranging discussion on all matters coast guard and maritime. The 26th Commandant of the United States Coast Guard has occupied the top seat for just under five months, and he is starting to clearly shape the major initiatives that will define his tenure. Diversity in the Coast Guard ranks, advances in technology and protecting the seamless flow of commerce in and around the United States, moving forward on the Arctic icebreakers and national security are all on the agenda for our in-depth interview, available soon in the November 2018 edition of Maritime Reporter.
