Port Houston, host of the 4th annual Houston International Maritime Conference (HIMC25), is thrilled to announce Captain Richard Phillips as a featured guest speaker at this year\u2019s event. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Best known worldwide for his courageous stand during a harrowing hostage situation and the acclaimed film based on his story, Captain Phillips will share his unforgettable experience with attendees at the November 2-5 event at Hilton Americas in downtown Houston.<\/p>\n

Houston\u2019s port is ranked number one in the nation for waterborne tonnage, and is the leading hub for energy cargo, the top gateway for steel, and home to the fifth-largest container port in the U.S. Each fall Port Houston brings together global maritime and energy leaders at HIMC to tackle the future of trade, energy, and supply chain logistics. Now in its fourth year, HIMC25 will engage with top experts on critical topics such as global and local market trends, supply chain fluidity and resilience, maritime shipping, shifts in petrochemical and energy markets, and maritime workforce development, among other topics.<\/p>\n

Captain Phillips will share his story the morning of Tuesday, November 4. In 2009, Captain Phillips became an international symbol of bravery when Somali pirates took him hostage aboard the Maersk Alabama. His selfless leadership and quick thinking over five tense days and his dramatic rescue by U.S. Navy SEALs showcase the real-life challenges and complexities maritime professionals face every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cCaptain Phillips\u2019 story delivers a powerful message about leadership, courage, and quick decision-making in the face of intense challenges,\u201d said Charlie Jenkins, CEO of Port Houston. \u201cHis experience resonates deeply with today\u2019s maritime and energy leaders and perfectly aligns with HIMC25\u2019s focus on global trade and the evolving complexities of the supply chain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Registration for HIMC25 is open and Early Bird pricing of $475 per ticket is available until August 31, 2025. Regular pricing of $575 takes effect on September 1, 2025. Brand-visibility and sponsorship opportunities are also available.<\/p>\n
