On April 9, 2025, the White House issued Executive Order 14269, directing the development of a Maritime Action Plan (MAP) to strengthen U.S. maritime capacity.
The finalized MAP, released last week, outlines a coordinated federal strategy, working across agencies and in partnership with industry, state and local governments, and allied nations, to rebuild the nation’s Maritime Industrial Base (MIB).
