MARAD review of foreign 12‑passenger vessel
MARAD is considering a request to allow the foreign-built vessel M/V JODIE MAE to operate in U.S. coastwise trade carrying no more than twelve passengers for hire. MARAD is asking for public comments to help decide whether that proposed use would have an adverse effect on U.S. vessel builders or on U.S. coastwise trade businesses that use U.S.-built vessels.
