The Maritime Administration, within the Department of Transportation, has been given the responsibility to improve and strengthen the U.S. marine transportation system. The Maritime Administration programs promote the development and maintenance of an adequate, well-balanced United States merchant marine, sufficient to carry the Nation's domestic waterborne commerce and a substantial portion of its waterborne foreign commerce, and capable of service as a naval and military auxiliary in time of war or national emergency. 

Payroll Management Information System uses social security numbers (SSNs) to match records from FPPS and CASTLE for payroll labor distribution. This includes complete payroll information on all (active and inactive) MARAD employees and which programs they charge to. It also provides management information to Program Managers on labor charges to their programs. Lastly, the system provides projection of future labor cost per project code.

Maritime Service Compliance System (MSCS) assists students, maritime academy graduates of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and participants/graduates of the Student Incentive Payment (SIP) Program at the State maritime academies (SMA) complete the required annual Compliance Report online for the period of their service obligation following graduation. The application also assists MARAD in monitoring and documenting student's enrollment status while attending the maritime academies, making subsidy payments to SMA SIP students, and maintaining a record of the maritime academy graduates fulfillment of their service obligations. The MSCS also contains the graduate's employment determination waivers. 
The privacy management process is built upon a methodology that has been developed and implemented in leading companies around the country and globally. The methodology is designed to help ensure that DOT and Maritime Administration will have the information, tools and technology necessary to manage privacy effectively and employ the highest level of fair information practices while allowing the Maritime Administration to achieve its mission of protecting and enhancing the U.S. transportation system

The Mariner Outreach System (MOS) provides a systematic way to monitor the adequacy of the nation's merchant mariner pool and to track and maintain contact information and qualifications of mariners who participate in the system. MOS is an invaluable tool for MARAD and its partners to make valid vessel and human resource projections identify potential mariner shortfalls, allow mariners to provide up-to-date/accurate contact information, and to facilitate crewing of vessels should a mariner shortage occur.
