Membership

SHIP brings together organizations across every industry that intersects with logistics or supply chain. Whether you operate in advanced manufacturing, maritime, transportation technology, clean energy, freight, warehousing, aerospace, mobility, medical, infrastructure, or emerging innovation fields — you belong in this ecosystem. We exist to unite the industries that move goods, data, and ideas through the Southeast and beyond. 

Why Join The SHIP Club?

Through Task Forces and Special Interest Groups, members help shape the agenda on critical issues across automation, workforce, clean energy, maritime innovation, and supply-chain technology. 

Chairs guide collaborative initiatives with SHIP leadership and partners, while participants work alongside peers and industry leaders to influence program direction, advance learning and development efforts, explore emerging technologies, and gain direct access to pilots, projects, and innovations aligned with their strategic goals.

Members receive first visibility into emerging technologies — from EV and battery systems to maritime robotics, automation platforms, supply chain visibility tools, and more. SHIP creates early pathways for investment, pilots, commercial partnerships, and research collaboration.
