US. Maritime Revitalization Agenda
SuRe Strategy Group leads the development of the U.S. Maritime Revitalization Agenda—an industry-driven framework for rebuilding America’s maritime capacity.
In October 2025, 49 maritime leaders convened at the SHIPPINGInsight Leadership Roundtable to identify what’s actually blocking U.S. maritime growth. The result: a constraint-based analysis identifying five structural barriers and an implementation roadmap now being operationalized through an industry-led coordination platform launching in 2026.
The framework has been recognized in the context of the 2025 National Security Strategy.
Innovation Doesn’t Fail for Lack of Ideas
Most maritime and infrastructure organizations have strong technical teams, clear strategic intent, and executive commitment.
Yet innovation consistently stalls between pilot and scale. Programs lose momentum under cross-functional complexity. Regulatory pathways evolve faster than organizations can adapt.
The issue is rarely technology or talent.
It’s that maritime, ports, and infrastructure operate under structural constraints that fundamentally differ from other industries:
– Asset lifecycles measured in decades, not quarters
– Multi-stakeholder regulatory environments with competing mandates
– Capital intensity that magnifies the cost of misalignment
– Operating cultures built on safety, reliability, and risk management
Most organizations struggle to scale innovation because they address the visible symptoms — not the limiting constraint.
We identify the single constraint restricting execution and design the path to remove it.
Operational Execution Framework
(SuRe Strategy’s proprietary Next Wave Method™)
A constraint-based execution framework developed through doctoral research and more than two decades of operational leadership in capital-intensive, regulated industries.
The framework identifies the binding constraint limiting organizational throughput, then aligns governance, stakeholders, and operating systems to remove it and unlock scale.
Foundation: Adapted from Theory of Constraints* for organizational and stakeholder complexity in legacy industries + 20+ years scaling innovation in billion-dollar industrial projects.
*Theory of Constraints developed by Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt
WHERE WE OPERATE
Maritime & Ports
- Port authorities, terminal operators, and maritime platforms navigating modernization, digitalization, and scale
- Distressed or underperforming port and terminal assets
- Public–private partnerships and complex JV structures
- Decarbonization and alternative fuel pathways in regulated port ecosystems
Energy & Infrastructure
- Coastal, offshore, and industrial infrastructure developers
- Distressed or transition-stage infrastructure assets
- Capital-intensive energy transition and alternative fuel platforms
HOW WE WORK WITH YOU
constraint diagnostic
30-day targeted assessment to identify the single constraint preventing innovation, transactions, or transformation initiatives from scaling
Best for:
Port authorities, operators, and investors facing stalled pilots, delayed transformation programs, or unclear execution risk
OPERATIONAL DUE DILIGENCE
4–8 week operational and execution risk assessment focused on constraints not captured in financial or legal diligence for maritime, port, and energy infrastructure transactions
Best for:
Infrastructure investors, PE funds, and family offices evaluating acquisitions, platforms, or distressed assets
Strategic Advisory
Ongoing advisory support to resolve execution, regulatory, and stakeholder constraints that emerge during scale-up, transformation, or post-close integration
Best for:
Port operators, maritime platforms, and infrastructure developers managing complex transitions or growth phases
Embedded Operational Leadership
Hands-on leadership to translate strategy into execution during critical scale-up or transformation phases
Best for:
Portfolio companies, ventures, or infrastructure programs transitioning from pilot to commercial operations
Capability Built Into Execution
As part of our Strategic Advisory and Embedded Operational Leadership engagements, we build internal capability using the Next Wave Systems Method™ — so leadership teams develop their own constraint-based execution discipline.
This is not standalone training. It is hands-on capability building while we are executing together.
WHY OUR CLIENTS TRUST US
Most advisors observe from the outside. We’ve led from the inside.
We’ve sat where our clients sit—boardrooms, negotiations, political transitions, and billion-dollar decisions made with incomplete information.
Dr. Beatriz Canamary brings over 20 years of operational leadership across maritime, infrastructure, and energy systems:
– Executive Director and Operations leader at a $6.5 billion steel company and integrated industrial port, overseeing hundreds of millions in projects and the operational realities of running billion-dollar assets
– Lead negotiator on nine-figure joint ventures with the Port of Rotterdam, aligning stakeholders across three jurisdictions during a political transition
– Doctoral research uncovering why port sustainability initiatives stall despite strong stakeholder support—revealing that system constraints, not lack of commitment, block scale
– Harvard Business School Executive Program in M&A, with focus on negotiation strategy and post-merger integration
– Chair, Innovation and Workforce Development Committee, Floating Economy Institute
In 2025, this methodology was applied at industry scale.
Dr. Canamary convened 49 maritime leaders to diagnose the structural barriers limiting U.S. maritime growth. The outcome was the U.S. Maritime Revitalization Agenda—a constraint-based framework now being operationalized through an industry-led coordination platform and recognized in the context of the 2025 National Security Strategy.
This is not advisory from the sidelines.
It is methodology forged through operational leadership—and proven at the industry-policy level.
RESULTS THAT MATTER
Reduced pilot-to-deployment timeline by 60% for a major port authority — from 24 months to 9 months — by identifying and removing stakeholder alignment constraints
60%
CO-AUTHORED DECARBONIZATION RESEARCH USED BY PORT OF ROTTERDAM SUBSIDIARY
Published whitepapers on maritime decarbonization and green shipping corridors — now used for business development by PortXchange.
DECARBONIZATION PATHWAYS
Structured $300M+ infrastructure joint venture between major European port and regional government — navigating stakeholder complexity and regulatory approval across three jurisdictions
+$300M
Optimized engineering and maintenance costs by 35% at A port complex — reducing downtime through predictive maintenance and cross-functional coordination
35%
