MARITECH
MARITECH is a technology
development program to improve ship design and construction
processes in U.S. shipyards. It is part of a Presidential initiative
to maintain a shipbuilding industrial base for national security by
assisting in establishing the U.S. shipbuilding industry as a
self-sufficient, internationally competitive industry.
Since 1994 a total of 66
projects valued at $349 million were selected of which 40 valued at
$170 million were assigned to the Maritime Administration to
administer.
