“Since 1862, ABS has played an integral role in the maritime industry, helping lead the United States to a stellar record of maritime success and leadership,” said Kevin Brady, U.S. Representative for Texas’ 8th Congressional District. “For more than 150 years, ABS has developed a close working relationship with the U.S. Government, and our history of teamwork and communication is something to be celebrated.”

The theme of the event was “Celebrating American Support and Leadership” which was the focus of remarks and showcased throughout the evening in a timeline video that highlighted important moments in history when ABS has provided critical support to the U.S. government.
