The Maritime Administration (MARAD) vigorously supports maritime training and education as well as mariner recruitment and employment retention programs. The agency's intent is to improve the quality of the U.S. maritime industry through an improved workforce who serve on vessels and work ashore in diverse professions, such as shipbuilding, shipping lines operations, and port operations. Recent events in the world, particularly the global war on terrorism and the urgent requirements of homeland security, have required MARAD to address an array of security and training issues to enhance security and provide a safer and more efficient operation of the merchant marine of the United States.
