The Merchant Marine of Burgundie refers to either [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] civilian mariners, or to [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] civilian and nationally owned merchant vessels . Both the civilian mariners and the merchant vessels are managed by a combination of the government (Ministry of Commerce and private sector and engage in commerce or transportation of goods and services in and out of the navigable waters of [[Burgundie]] and on behalf of [[Burgundie]] on national contracts. It also serves as the defacto Merchant Marine of [[Cartadania]]. The Merchant Marine primarily transports cargo and passengers during peacetime; in times of war, the Merchant Marine can be an auxiliary to the [[Navy of Burgundie]], and can be called upon to deliver military personnel and materiel for the military. Merchant Marine officers may also be commissioned as military officers by the Department of Civil Defense and Security. This is commonly achieved by commissioning unlimited tonnage Merchant Marine officers as Strategic Sealift Officers in the Naval Reserves.

Merchant mariners move cargo and passengers between nations and within [[Burgundie]], and operate and maintain deep-sea merchant ships, tugboats, towboats, ferries, dredges, excursion vessels, charter boats and other waterborne craft on the oceans, rivers, canals, harbors, and other waterways. As of September, 2031, the Burgundian merchant fleet had 4,146 privately owned, oceangoing, self-propelled vessels of 1,000 gross register tons and above that carry cargo from port to port or more. Nearly all Burgundian-owned ships are flagged in [[Burgundie]], [[Faneria]], or [[Bulkh]].

The federal government maintains fleets of merchant ships via organizations such as Military Sealift Command (part of the [[Navy of Burgundie]]) and the Royal Defense Reserve Fleet, which is managed by the [[Royal Burgoignesc Maritime Administration]]. In [[2027]], the [[Government of Burgundie|government]] employed only 5% of all [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] water transportation workers with large conglomerates and trade associations employing the remainder.

= History =
==Cartadanian relationship==


The [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] merchant fleet became the defacto merchant marine of [[Cartadania]] through a series of legal and passive actions taken on the parts of both nations. When the [[Bergendii]] ceded administrative control of [[Aumiers|Aumiers colony]] to Milan Regio in [[1573]] a number of advisors and merchants were retained. The merchants were so skilled at bringing revenue for the rulers that [[Bergendii]] merchants, increasingly those of the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] owned and sailed the majority of ships coming into surrounding ports. During the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]], the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] secured warrants for trade monopolies in most ports of [[Cartadania]] and through royal marriages to the [[House of De Pardo]] to some ports in [[Pelaxia]] as well. These monopoly warrants were largely rescinded in the partition period with only a few remained by the dissolution of the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]]. During the 19th century the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] carried [[Caratdania]]n cargo off and on as the political winds and priorities shifted, namely the collapse of the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]] in [[Alshar]] and [[Audonia]] and the [[First Fratricide]]. The expanding colony in [[Equitorial Ostiecia]] was taking up most of the resources and time of the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Company]] but trade to and from [[Cartadania]] was vital to the colonies growth.


After the unification of [[Burgundie]] in [[1875]], the various assets of the merchant fleets working from [[Burgundie]] came under the definition of the Merchant Marine of Burgundie. During the [[First Great War|First]] and [[Second Great War]], the Merchant Marine of Burgundie provided vital supplies to [[Cartadania]] in its campaigns against [[Caphiria]] and resupplied the [[Cartadanian Navy]] at sea. While it is not the legally bound body to serve the nation of [[Cartadania]]'s maritime merchant capability, it is, to this operating in that capacity without competition from locals.

== Late Modern Era ==
[[Nanseetcuket]]'s Chappaquiddick coast was made internationally famous in the 1800s and early 1900s as a death trap for international shipping. Numerous [[Kiravia]]n and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] merchant marine ships were dashed against the rocks in mysterious storms. These sailors were considered the best storm sailors in the world due to their experience in the [[Kilikas Storm Belt]] and were the vanguard of an international effort to engage [[Nanseetucket]] by the global community. The [[Burgoignesc Maritime Navigation Administration]] calculates that between [[1804]] and [[1914]] 78 [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] merchant ships were destroyed on the rocks, shoals, and shores of Chappaquiddick. The [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] Maritime Biographer Laureate Maurie-Joseph Copecnee laments that the ports of [[Nanseetucket]] were "gravid with mercantile potential. Our national future in [[Nanseetucket]] was cut short by the enmity of the insolent Chappaquiddick."


== Contemporary Era ==
During [[Operation Kipling]]'s Kandaran Anti-Communist War 12 merchant marine ships and other commercial ships from various other nations were caught in Lake X in northern [[Kandara]] when the X River was blocked by communist forces supported by the [[Alshar]] ComIntern. This rag tag flotilla was called the Yellow Fleet.
