Vessel Documentation: “Sold Foreign”

The Coast Guard withdraws the proposed rule published on September 12, 2001, in which we sought comments on our interpretation of the term "sold foreign," which may disqualify certain vessels whose ownership has become "foreign" in technical ways from eligibility for coastwise trade. While some affected parties claimed that this interpretation imposes a harsh penalty for slight, often unintended involvement, others feel that it just preserves the privilege of coastwise trade for the domestic fleet.
