Review: Foreign-built M/V YAMUY Coastwise Use
The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is considering a request to allow the foreign-built small passenger vessel M/V YAMUY to operate in U.S. coastwise trade. The vessel would carry no more than twelve passengers for hire, and MARAD is asking for public comments to decide whether this use would have an adverse effect on U.S. vessel builders or U.S. coastwise trade businesses that use U.S.-built vessels before making a final decision.
