The Federal Maritime Commission reports that FMC Chairman Steven R. Blust “announced today that he intends to leave the agency after the completion of his current term, once his replacement nominee has been confirmed by the Senate. Mr. Blust has been serving as Chairman since joining the agency in August 2002. His term officially ends on June 30, 2006. Once he leaves the Commission, he plans to continue his career in the area of maritime trade.” In a new release, Blust said, “It has been my distinct honor and pleasure to serve the President, the Commission and its staff of dedicated civil servants, as well as our country and industry for nearly four years.
