OTA conducted an industry-wide survey, receiving replies from approximately 85 U.S. ship and barge operating and building firms. The results of that survey are contained in the supplement. While Federal maritime R&D efforts are useful and productive, a number of problems limit the benefits to industry and hinder the pursuit of such national goals as technological preeminence. Problems identified with existing Federal maritime R&D include: difficulty with government contracting procedures, limited dissemination of R&D results, restricted involvement of some sectors of the industry and difficulty with initiating cooperative R&D in some sectors.
