Welcome to the Maritime Administration's website for Key personnel. We here at the Maritime Administration are committed to working with you, our customers, partners and constituents in improving and strengthening the U.S. marine transportation system - including infrastructure, industry and labor - to meet the economic and security needs of the Nation.

We dedicate ourselves to promoting the development and maintenance of an adequate, well-balanced United States merchant marine, sufficient to carry the Nation's domestic waterborne commerce and a substantial portion of its waterborne foreign commerce, and capable of service as a naval and military auxiliary in time of war or national emergency. The Maritime Administration also seeks to ensure that the United States maintains adequate shipbuilding and repair services, efficient ports, effective intermodal water and land transportation systems, and reserve shipping capacity for use in time of national emergency.
