A Partnership for Progress

The Delmarva Water Transport Committee is a non-profit organization that encourages the continuation and further development of waterborne commerce on the rivers, bays and harbors of the Delmarva Peninsula through the promotion of adequate dredging, safe navigation and maintenance and development of harbor and river terminals in such a manner as to protect and conserve the environment.

DWTC's annual operating budget is derived solely from membership fees. Membership fees are based on the type of the business involved.

We work to keep the members apprised of current developments on a variety of matters related to the waterways of Delmarva. We have bi-monthly meetings (except during the summer) to discuss any issues affecting our members.

Since 1974 the Delmarva Water Transport Committee has proudly represented hundreds of businesses on the Delmarva Peninsula. DWTC provides a collective voice in expressing concern, opposition, or support on waterway issues affecting our members that arise before various government bodies. We continue to work closely with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Coast Guard, and local and state governments on matters concerning Eastern Shore waterways.
