STUDY OF THE METHOD, EFFECTIVENESS, AND POTENTIAL OF GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY TO THE U. S. MERCHANT MARINE

Abstract

It is the purpose of this study to review the method, effectiveness and potential of the various direct and indirect subsidy programs in effect, in satisfying the statement of policy of the most recent and currently active law applying to all Federal involvement and support of the U.S. Merchant Marine, as amended. Historic developments leading to the current state of the U.S. Merchant Marine will be discussed. Particular attention will be devoted to future needs, with regard to both the size of the merchant marine to fulfill the intent of the acts, and the type of ships to satisfy the new demands introduced by the changing technology.
