MARAD Solicits Comments on Jones Act Waiver for Foreign-Built Vessel M/V NOMAD

MARAD has received a request to allow the foreign-built small passenger vessel M/V NOMAD to operate in U.S. coastwise trade carrying up to 12 passengers for hire. The agency is soliciting public comments to assess whether approval would adversely affect U.S. vessel builders or coastwise trade businesses using U.S.-built vessels.
