This assessment of Maritime Trade and Technology traces prevailing conditions and dominant trends that are important to the way the Federal Government assumes its responsibilities for developing and implementing policy. The report contains analyses of the world outlook for trade, shipping, and shipbuilding. It identifies the extent of US participation in these enterprises. It analyses the US shipping and shipbuilding industries and identifies certain weak and strong attributes. It discusses trends in technology as well as in the policies of the United States and of our major trading partners. OTA has found that although there are both health and troubled segments of the US maritime industries, all sectors are becoming increasingly dependent on Federal policy decisions. And, with increasing competition in world trade as well as shipping services that carry that trade, intervention by all governments will become more prevalent.
