摘要: In compliance with the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended 1/, the Maritime Administration (MARAD) conducts an annual survey of the U.S. shipbuilding and ship repair industry to determine if an adequate industrial base exists for national defense and for use in a national emergency. This Report on the 2004 survey of U.S. shipyard facilities was prepared by MARADs Office of Shipbuilding and Marine Technology, and is in response to the congressional mandate. The statistical data accumulated by the survey is an important element in the assessment of the adequacy of the Nations shipbuilding industrial base, including ship repair. It also provides critical input in determining which facilities will be used during the reactivation of the reserve fleets maintained by MARAD and the U.S. Navy. In addition, the survey also provides a database that is used to evaluate the feasibility of proposed shipbuilding programs. From the data obtained, determinations are made as to which existing shipyards might construct proposed ships, consistent with ship size and delivery date requirements. The need for construction of new facilities to meet the demands of proposed shipbuilding programs can be also identified. The information, gathered by the annual survey, is also used extensively by MARAD in responses to queries received from a variety of interests, including members of Congress, the Secretary of Transportation, the Department of Defense, the Office of Management and Budget and other Government agencies. / Supplementary Notes: See also PB2008-107260. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
