Invests over $1 billion to modernize the United States Merchant Marine Academy.
This bill would invest over $1 billion to modernize the United States Merchant Marine Academy. It aims to update outdated facilities and build new ones to provide better training for future merchant mariners and national defense officers.
Currently, most facilities at the United States Merchant Marine Academy are old, dating back to its founding, and are not suitable for modern training. This bill would direct the Secretary of Transportation to create a 10-year plan to overhaul the campus, setting aside $1,020,000,000 from the government's Maritime Security Trust Fund to pay for new buildings, major renovations, and infrastructure upgrades from the government's budget year 2026 through 2035.
