The Seattle Marine Business Coalition is a 501c (3) nonprofit that represents the interests of Seattle’s marine industrial land users. Our 300 member companies are clustered at the north and south ends of the viaduct in Seattle’s two industrially zoned neighborhoods: the Ballard Interbay North End Manufacturing Center (BINMIC) and the Duwamish Industrial Neighborhood.
SMBC membership consists of companies involved in commercial fishing and marine transportation: fishing vessel operators, tug and barge operators, operators of tour boats and ferries and general cargo vessel operators. Member companies also include shipyards, fuel providers, marine construction companies and vendors and suppliers to the commercial maritime and commercial fishing companies.
