We   hope you can join us for this fantastic opportunity to introduce two   networking groups that share many common interests regarding offshore wind   development in the Gulf of Maine. The Propeller Club of the United States is   the largest maritime association in the US and works tirelessly to promote   the maritime industry, commerce and global trade. Locally, the Propeller Club   of Portland, Maine was chartered in 1938 and has over 135 members   representing fleet operators, deck and engine officers, terminal managers,   agents, chandlers, members of government and others with a keen interest in   the development and operation of Maine’s ports. Offshore Wind Drinks is an   informal network of people who convene to discuss ideas, trends, and   observations about the market. Anyone interested in offshore wind is welcome   to join us. Many of our attendees are looking for ways to access the market   and most are trying to learn more.
