• Abstract:
  To develop goals and objectives for this report, the Department of Transportation (DOT), through the Maritime Administration (MARAD), conducted two symposiums and other outreach activities with industry and the public from October 2013 through December 2019. Many recommendations and suggestions were received from stakeholders about how to achieve greater employment of U.S.-flag vessels, create more jobs for American mariners, improve the ability of ports to handle more cargo and larger ships, sponsor research, and achieve other goals and objectives identified in this report. These recommendations and critical thinking served as the foundation for the development of four Goals that form the basis of this report.
