Requested Administrative Waiver of the Coastwise Trade Laws

The Maritime Administration (MARAD) has received a request for an administrative waiver of the U.S.-build requirement of the coastwise laws, allowing a foreign-built vessel to operate in U.S. waters. Interested parties can comment on the potential impact of this waiver on U.S. vessel builders or businesses using U.S.-flag vessels until a decision is made.
