Review of Foreign 12‑Passenger Vessel
MARAD is asking for public comments about whether the foreign-built small passenger vessel M/V ZEVA may be used in U.S. coastwise trade carrying no more than 12 passengers for hire. The agency will use comments to 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.
