Foreign-built 12-passenger boat may compete
MARAD is considering whether the foreign-built small passenger vessel S/V Eeya can be used for U.S. coastwise trips carrying no more than twelve passengers for hire. If MARAD approves this request, U.S. boat builders and U.S. coastwise trade businesses that use U.S.-built vessels may face increased competition. MARAD is asking for public comments to help decide if the proposed use would have an adverse effect on those U.S. businesses.
