The Maritime Administration (MARAD) has a three-pronged mission. MARAD programs advance: (1) economic growth and recovery by providing job-producing businesses with efficient transportation options to reach their suppliers and customers, (2) marine transportation that is sensitive to environmental impacts on communities, and (3) a vital, viable, safe, and secure U.S. merchant marine for commerce, emergency response, and national security.Maritime transportation contributes more than $10 billion per year to the economy. MARAD'swork with ships and shipping, shipbuilding, port operations, and vessel operations supports themaritime industry, which is a significant employer. MARAD's Title XI and Assistance to SmallShipyards programs provide grants supporting the industry, which can be an engine for capacityand economic growth. As waterborne transport provides a cost-effective transportationalternative, it can also help impact congestion in other transportation modes, reduce the cost ofgoods consumers use every day, and contribute to improving quality of life. The MARAD FY 2010 program includes a Presidential initiative for integrated planning with the Department ofHomeland Security to inform development and modernization of intermodal freight infrastructure linking coastal and inland ports to highway and rail networks.
