MARAD Solicits Comments on Foreign-Built Vessel Waiver for S/V NOVA Coastwise Passenger Trade

MARAD is seeking public comment on a request to operate the foreign-built small passenger vessel S/V NOVA in U.S. coastwise trade, carrying no more than 12 passengers for hire. The determination will assess whether granting the waiver would adversely affect U.S. vessel builders or coastwise trade businesses operating U.S.-built vessels.
