SUBPART 5347.5-OCEAN TRANSPORTATION BY U.S.-FLAG VESSELS

The Maritime Administration (MARAD), Department of Transportation, has a role in enforcing the cargo preference statutes. MARAD can assist contractors in locating U.S.-flag shipping services, is empowered to determine when such services are not available, and can assist contracting officers in evaluating any contractor claims related to "excess costs" or differentials associated with the use of U.S.-flag vessels. When contractors do not comply with the cargo preference requirements, MARAD can require the contractor to make compensatory shipments on non-DOD shipments. Contracting officers desiring MARAD's assistance should contact:

The Maritime Administration
Office of Cargo Preference
MAR-590, Room 8118

400 Seventh Street, S.W.

Washington, DC 20590
