About Us

The Maritime Commerce Club, Columbia River (MCC) was created to further the interests of individuals and businesses involved in maritime trade along the Columbia and Willamette River Systems. The club provides opportunities for social networking, keeps members informed of the events shaping the maritime industry, and participates in philanthropic endeavors that strengthen our community.

Created from the merger of the Portland Shipping Club and the Propeller Club – Port of the Columbia River, the Maritime Commerce Club brings together individuals possessing a wealth of industry knowledge with professionals who have the vision to keep the maritime industry moving into the future. The Club sponsors events that honor those who have been invaluable to the maritime community; brings awareness to issues shaping our industry; celebrates the impact our industry has had in developing our region; and gives back to the community we live in.

Join the Club

The Maritime Commerce Club provides its members with a variety of educational and networking opportunities throughout the year. The club’s mission is to provide the maritime community a social network that engages in both educational and philanthropic endeavors. Active membership provides the opportunity to attend four-to-six educational luncheons and five annual MCC social and/or philanthropic gatherings at the discounted membership pricing.
