The Maritime Executive (Kiravic: Rekturium Farakrāstá) is a cabinet-level administration of the Kiravian government responsible for matters such as civil navigation, the administration of the Federacy's adjacent and (in a few cases) internal waters, oceanography, and fisheries policy.

Subordinate Agencies

Littoral Force

Though considered a branch of the Kiravian armed forces, the Littoral Force (Kiravic: Scaravōlmuv) is under the jurisdiction of the Maritime Executive rather than the Defence Executive. It carries out paramilitary, customs and immigration enforcement, law enforcement, search-and-rescue, and environmental missions in the Federacy's littoral waters.

Federal Lighthouse Service

The Federal Lighthouse Service maintains warning lights, fog signals, and navigational buoys in Kiravian waters. Although the FLS's primary duties in the electronic age are the placement of new signals and the repair of existing ones, the Service continues ot employ some 184 lighthouse keepers serving in remote locations, especially in the Federacy's overseas possessions, as well as a fleet of nine lightships providing navigational aid in perillous arctic waters. The Federal Lighthouse Service has a rather extensive property portfolio of islands, rocks, reefs, and seaside cliffs where its markers are located, and owns more islands than any federal agency save the Federal Lands Administration.

Federal Lacunal-Fluvial Navigation Administration

A major power granted to the federal government under the Fundamental Statute is to regulate interstate commerce. The Federal Lacunal-Fluvial Navigation Administration is responsible for regulating civil navigation on the Federacy's interstate internal waters, including navigable rivers such as the Coïn, Sorbón, and Sethryn, and large lakes, namely the Inland Seas of Arenica, where most of the agency's activities are concentrated. The FLFNA undertakes dredging and other civil engineering projects to keep the inland waterways navigable, enforces Federal regulations for fluvial craft, and maintains a number of canals, the largest of which is the Interlacunal Canal linking the Inland Seas of Arenica.
