On 28 January 2026, US President Donald Trump appointed Laura DiBella to serve as chairwoman of the Federal Maritime Commission.

“It was a true honour to simply be nominated as a Commissioner of the Federal Maritime Commission, and to now be tapped as chair[wo]man is nothing short of a privilege,” Chairwoman DiBella remarked.
“I am humbled and grateful for the faith that President Trump has demonstrated in me with this designation, and the gravity and responsibility of the role is not lost on me. I look forward to leading the incredible and hardworking FMC team in its integral function in carrying out President Trump’s mandate of ‘Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance’.”
