Foreign-Built 12-Passenger Boat Review
The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is reviewing a request to allow the foreign-built vessel S/V INDIE SKY to operate in U.S. coastwise trade carrying no more than 12 passengers for hire. MARAD will decide whether allowing that use would have an adverse effect on U.S. vessel builders or on U.S. coastwise trade businesses that use U.S.-built vessels. If approved, the decision could change which businesses can run these coastal passenger services.
