The Maritime Administration (MARAD) Ship Donation Program (SDP) was
established in 2004 by the authority granted in Public Law 108-136, Section 3512. The purpose of the program is to afford qualified public and non-profit organizations the
opportunity to obtain, via donation, obsolete ships from the National Defense Reserve
Fleet (NDRF) for use as memorials and/or in other non-commercial enterprises. The
program also provides the federal government with a no-cost method for the disposal of
obsolete ships.
