On February 29th, a group of short sea shipping experts joined the Working Waterfront Alliance for a tour of Providence Harbor. Led by Scott Borgerson of Columbia University and Robert Kunkel of Coastal Connect, a start-up shipping company, the group spent 3 hours touring the port and talking with area businesses about the possibilities and benefits of locating a short sea shipping operation in Providence.
