CME Expands Partnerships and Impact in 2025

Capt. Stephen Polk: Director, CME

Throughout 2025, the Center for Maritime Education continued to collaborate with partners across the U.S. inland and Gulf Coast maritime industry. Mariner enrollment remained steady, with training schedules in Paducah, KY, and Houston, TX, fully booked throughout the year.

Across both facilities, CME worked with more than 1,200 mariners in our simulators and provided e-Learning opportunities to 10,230 subscribers. CME contributed to several feasibility studies and remains committed to supporting maritime infrastructure by sharing available data and insights. We are also grateful for the continued partnership with KOTUG of the Netherlands and Maritime Simulator and Resource Centre of Quebec, Canada, Robert Allen Ltd. in British Columbia, and we are pleased to welcome CT Marine of Maine as a new vessel modeling partner in 2025.
