MARAD has received a request to permit foreign-built sailing vessel S/V THUNDERBOLT to operate in U.S. coastwise trade carrying up to 12 passengers for hire. The agency is soliciting public comments to assess whether granting the waiver would adversely affect U.S. vessel builders or coastwise trade operators using U.S.-built vessels.
