Potential Harm to U.S. Shipbuilders
MARAD is reviewing a request to allow the foreign-built vessel M/V OLIVE MARIE to engage in U.S. coastwise trade. MARAD is specifically soliciting comments on whether allowing this use would have an adverse effect on U.S. vessel builders or on U.S. coastwise trade businesses that use U.S.-built vessels.
Possible Allowance of Foreign Vessel in Coastwise Trade
MARAD received a determination request to allow the foreign-built M/V OLIVE MARIE to be used in U.S. coastwise trade. The vessel described in the notice is for service that would carry no more than twelve passengers for hire, and if approved it could change who is allowed to operate in coastwise trade.
