Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date May 26, 1977
Report No. CED-77-80
Subject
Summary:

There are inconsistencies among the legislation and policies used to govern the vessel sales programs at the Maritime Administration (MARAD), the General Services Administration (GSA), and the Department of Defense (DOD).

Discussions with officials at the three agencies indicated that it is not clear which policies are in the best interest of the government and the American maritime industry. MARAD is authorized to sell surplus vessels from the National Defense Reserve Fleet for scrap or other nontransportation uses and to dispose of all surplus government vessels determined to be merchant type or convertible to merchant type and weighing 1,500 gross tons or more. DOD is authorized to dispose of surplus military vessels that are not merchant class vessels or convertible to merchant class and merchant class vessels under 1,500 tons. GSA is authorized to dispose of surplus government property including naval vessels. Only the laws covering the MARAD sales require that preference be given to U.S. citizens.
