Captain Paul C. LaMarre III on Building Ports, People & the Great Lakes

For Capt. Paul C. LaMarre III, the maritime industry isn’t a career choice as much as it is a family inheritance — and, in his words, “all I’ve known my entire life.” In a recent interview with Maritime

Reporter TV, Captain LaMarre gives unique insights on operating ef? ciently, effectively and safely on the Great Lakes system – the

United States’ ‘Fourth Sea’ – and with passion, intellect and purpose advocates for a strong U.S. maritime industry.
