13 S. Port Planning & Investment Toolkit A Maritime Industry Joint Venture A joint venture between AAPA, a working group of 57 industry expert volunteers, and the Maritime Administration. Toolkit will help ports obtain funding by developing investment grade plans that: Clearly identify future port needs; examples of what works Built with modules on planning, funding and executing projects Determine the most cost-effective, sustainable and efficient solutions to port problems; and Position port projects for federal funding or financing such as INFRA grants or TIFIA; and Assist ports in obtaining private sector investment funds. Funding Strategy Module was released in November Phase II Port Planning and Investment Toolkit released in Jan YouTube video 13
14 S. State Freight Plans To receive funding under the National Highway Freight Program, the FAST Act requires each State to develop a State Freight Plan by December 5, A State Freight Plan must: Cover a five-year forecast period; Be fiscally constrained; Include a freight investment plan with a list of priority projects; and Describe how the State will invest and match its National Highway Freight Program funds. Freight Planning and Policy Provisions: 14
15 S. State Freight Plans Why Include Maritime Assets in State Freight Plans? State Freight Plans will guide state infrastructure investments through the development of funding - constrained lists of projects to be funded by the National Highway Freight Program State Freight Plans Will designate critical urban and rural corridors for inclusion in the National Highway Freight Network, Will provide ports with an opportunity to integrate into the wider surface transportation system within their State. If ports want to benefit from a State s freight investment, they need to participate in the State Freight Plan development by joining groups such as State Freight Advisory Committees. 15

21 W. Jones Act The Jones Act (46 U.S.C ) requires that merchandise being transported by water between U.S. points must travel in U.S.-built and U.S.-citizen owned vessels that are registered in the United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has direct responsibility for enforcing the Jones Act and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may grant waivers of the U.S.- flag requirements only in the interest of national defense. MARAD s role in the waiver process is to canvass the U.S.- flag domestic shipping market to locate suitable coastwise qualified vessels, and then report the results to CBP.
22 W. Cargo Preference Law Congress enacted several measures known as cargo preference laws between 1904 and percent of military cargo, and at least 50 percent of most non-military government cargo transported by ocean, must be carried on U.S. flag vessels subject to vessel availability and fair and reasonable rates. The cargoes generated because of these programs help ensure the availability of a fleet of privately-owned U.S.-flag ships. These ships, mariners, and the supply networks they employ are available to transport Government supplies and equipment in the event of an emergency or armed conflict. Link and contact Phone (202) cargo.marad@dot.gov
23 W. Maritime Security Program (MSP) On October 8, 1996, the President signed the Maritime Security Act of 1996 establishing the Maritime Security Program (MSP). The 2003 and 2016 NDAA extend the current MSP through FY Under this program, participating operators must commit their ships, crews, global network of intermodal facilities and transportation resources upon request by the Secretary of Defense. The NDAA of 2013 requires that the Secretary of Transportation, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, to establish a fleet of active, commercially viable, militarily useful, privately-owned vessels to meet national defense and other security requirements MSP Ships receive a subsidy and all operating agreements are currently filled by 60 ships. MSP ship crews are a major source for the DOD surge fleet and contributes approximately 2,400 mariner positions to the U.S. deepwater seafarer base MSP fully funded for $300M in 2018 Appropriations. 23
24 W. Ready Reserve Force (RRF) Highlights Initiated in Subset of the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) program to support the rapid worldwide deployment of U.S. military forces. MARAD manages and maintains the bulk of our Nation s surge capacity, which is organized in the Ready Reserve Fleet. This has went from a total of 6 ships in 1977; 102 ships in 1994; to its current level of 46 ships Maintained in 5 and 10-day readiness status by commercial U.S. ship managers that are under contract for maintenance and repair, activation, manning, and operation. The RRF provides nearly one-half of the government-owned surge sealift capability. National and Humanitarian Emergencies and Disaster Relief Missions Used as training platforms by Navy and Army and various law enforcement agencies 24
