Executive Order 14269 of April 9, 2025

Restoring America's Maritime Dominance

By the authority vested in me as President by the

Constitution and the laws of the United States of

America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose. The commercial shipbuilding

capacity and maritime workforce of the United States

has been weakened by decades of Government neglect,

leading to the decline of a once strong industrial base

while simultaneously empowering our adversaries and

eroding United States national security. Both our

allies and our strategic competitors produce ships for

a fraction of the cost needed in the United States.

Recent data shows that the United States constructs

less than one percent of commercial ships globally,

while the People's Republic of China (PRC) is

responsible for producing approximately half.

allies and our strategic competitors produce ships for

a fraction of the cost needed in the United States.

Recent data shows that the United States constructs

less than one percent of commercial ships globally,

while the People's Republic of China (PRC) is

responsible for producing approximately half.

Rectifying these issues requires a comprehensive

approach that includes securing consistent,

predictable, and durable Federal funding, making United

States-flagged and built vessels commercially

competitive in international commerce, rebuilding

America's maritime manufacturing capabilities (the

Maritime Industrial Base), and expanding and

strengthening the recruitment, training, and retention

of the relevant workforce.

Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States

to revitalize and rebuild domestic maritime industries

and workforce to promote national security and economic

prosperity.

Sec. 3. Maritime Action Plan. (a) Within 210 days of

the date of this order, the Assistant to the President

for National Security Affairs (APNSA), in coordination

with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense,

the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Labor, the

Secretary of Transportation, the Secretary of Homeland

Security, the United States Trade Representative

(USTR), and the heads of executive departments and

agencies (agencies) the APNSA deems appropriate, shall

submit a Maritime Action Plan (MAP) to the President,

through the APNSA and the Director of the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB Direct

and

Security, the United States Trade Representative

Management and Budget (OMB Director) to achieve the

policy set forth in this order.

(b) The OMB Director, in coordination with the

APNSA, shall be responsible for all legislative,

regulatory, and fiscal assessments related to the MAP.

(c) The MAP shall, to the extent permissible and

consistent with applicable law, including the Buy

American Act (41 U.S.C. 8301-8305), reflect actions

taken pursuant to sections 4 through 21 of this order.

Sec. 4. Ensure the Security and Resilience of the

Maritime Industrial Base. Within 180 days of the date

of this order, the Secretary of Defense, in

coordination with the Secretary of Commerce, the

Secretary of Transportation, and the Secretary of

Homeland Security, shall provide to the APNSA and the

OMB Director for inclusion in the MAP an assessment of

options both for the use of available authorities and

resources, such as Defense Production Act Title III

authorities, and for the use of private capital to the

maximum extent possible to invest in and expand the

Maritime Industrial Base including, but not limited to,

investment and expansion of commercial and defense

shipbuilding capabilities, component supply chains,

ship repair and marine transportation capabilities,

port infrastructure, and the adjacent workfor

maximum extent possible to invest in and expand the

Maritime Industrial Base including, but not limited to,

investment and expansion of commercial and defense

shipbuilding capabilities, component supply chains,

ship repair and marine transportation capabilities,

port infrastructure, and the adjacent workforce. The

Secretary of Defense shall pursue using the Office of

Strategic Capital loan program to improve the

shipbuilding industrial base. As part of their

[[Page 15636]]

assessment, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of

Transportation, and the Secretary of Homeland Security

shall:

(a) identify key maritime components in the supply

chain that are essential for rebuilding and expanding

the Maritime Industrial Base and that should be

prioritized for investment;

(b) ensure that their recommendations of public and

private investments are made according to a clear

metric, derived in consultation with the Assistant to

the President for Economic Policy, of return on

invested capital for the United States taxpayer and to

the economic and national security of the United

States; and
