Maritime Industry Outreach and Recruitment

The Maritime Industry Outreach and Recruitment subcontract, managed by the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District, focuses on increasing voluntary participation in the Vessel Speed Reduction program. The primary objective is to engage ocean-going vessel operators to adhere to 10-knot transit limits for prime contractors working on district projects. This is achieved through the development of targeted communication materials and the execution of strategic recruitment campaigns. The contractor is responsible for coordinating efforts between the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District, the California Maritime Shipping Forum, and the broader shipping industry. Key deliverables include the submission of detailed recruitment reports and the maintenance of comprehensive lists of participating vessel operators. This effort falls under NAICS code 541820 and is designed to reduce environmental impacts through industry collaboration.
