Possible Impact on U.S. Boat Builders
MARAD is evaluating a request to allow the foreign-built small passenger vessel M/V OSPREY (a vessel that would carry no more than twelve passengers for hire) to operate in U.S. coastwise trade. MARAD is specifically checking whether that proposed use would have an adverse effect on U.S. vessel builders or U.S. coastwise trade businesses that use U.S.-built vessels.
Stakeholders Can Submit Comments
MARAD published this notice to solicit comments from the public to help decide whether the proposed coastwise use of the foreign-built M/V OSPREY would adversely affect U.S. vessel builders or coastwise trade businesses. If you are a stakeholder (for example, a vessel builder or coastwise operator), you can submit your views before MARAD makes a final determination.
