Maritime Administration (MARAD) Releases U.S. Flag Fleet Competitiveness Report
The Maritime Administration has released a report examining the factors that significantly impact the competitiveness of U.S.-flag vessels in international transportation markets. Developed from two studies, the report compares U.S. and foreign-flag operating costs, examines impediments to the U.S.-flag registry, and provides industry recommendations for addressing these impediments.
The report is available online at http://www.marad.dot.gov/library_landing_page/maritime_publications/Library_Publications.htm
