Report to the Congress on the Progress of the Vessel Scrapping Program, February 2002

摘要

This report is submitted pursuant to Section 3502 of the Appendix to Public Law 106-398 (the National Defense Authorization Act of 2001) (Act), which requires a report every six months on the progress of the program developed for the scrapping of the Maritime Administration's (MARAD) obsolete National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) vessels. This report details MARAD's ship disposal efforts during the period from June 2001 to the end of January 2002. The Act also requires this report to be made in coordination with the Secretary of the Navy and include the progress of any other scrapping of obsolete Government-owned vessels. To that end, the progress of the U.S. Navy's vessel scrapping program is included in this report.
