Foreign-built vessel coastwise use under review
MARAD has received a request to allow the foreign-built small passenger vessel S/V PAUL STAWINSKI (vessels of this type carry no more than twelve passengers for hire) to engage in U.S. coastwise trade. MARAD is soliciting public comments to decide 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; affected parties can submit comments before MARAD makes its determination.
