About
SOCP
The purpose of the SOCP is to address and promote commercial
operations through the identification, development, and
application of new methods, procedures, and technologies.
SOCP’s overall objective is to improve the competitiveness,
productivity, efficiency, safety, and environmental responsiveness
of U.S. vessel operations. All U.S. based vessel operators
and organizations that support vessel operations are eligible
to participate in the program. With the support of the
Maritime Administration (MARAD), industry, labor, and
Government are working together to address common challenges
and identify new solutions for improvements in ship operations.
This cooperative program allows members to participate
in research which would not be economically feasible on
an individual basis, or possibly even within a single
area of the industry. Information about new technologies,
systems, or procedures that would otherwise not exist
is made available to all Cooperative members.
