About PMARS

NDRF Property Management and Archive Record System (PMARS)

PMARS is MARAD's official repository of NDRF ship and ship-related property records.The system contains information on ships from WWII to the present, along with current inventories of ships and ship-related property.Out of the more than 7000 ships represented within PMARS, only a few hundred remain active--- the large majority having been disposed of over the years via scrapping and other methods.

PMARS provides permanent storage for basic data on active and inactive NDRF ships.While MARAD does maintain detailed ship files for active NDRF ships, inactive NDRF ship files are generally transferred to the National Archives & Records Administration shortly after ships are withdrawn from the NDRF.Thus PMARS represents the complete volume of MARAD information for inactive NDRF ships.

MARAD encourages the public to provide feedback on PMARS and/or the accuracy and completeness of PMARS data.MARAD will incorporate feedback into future versions of PMARS where it is determined that improvements can be made to the system and its data.

PMARS was designed primarily to provide public access and visibility to historic NDRF ship and ship-related data.This is in line with the MARAD mission and commitment to promote the nations rich maritime heritage.
