Summary
The government is asking for your thoughts on letting a foreign-built small passenger boat, the M/V REMEDY, operate in U.S. coastal waters carrying up to 12 passengers. This could affect U.S. boat builders and businesses that use American-made vessels, so they want to make sure it won’t hurt local jobs or trade. You have until June 12, 2026, to share your opinion—no cost changes yet, just a decision in the works!

Public review of foreign-built 12‑passenger vessel
MARAD received a request to allow the foreign-built vessel M/V REMEDY to engage in U.S. coastwise trade carrying no more than 12 passengers for hire. If you are a U.S. vessel builder or a business that uses U.S.-built vessels, MARAD is asking for comments on whether that use would have an undue adverse effect on U.S. builders or coastwise trade businesses. Submit comments by June 12, 2026.
