BANSHO Vessel Coastwise Trade Application

MARAD received a coastwise trade waiver request for the foreign-flagged vessel BANSHO. The application is available for public viewing and comment. Coastwise trade laws generally require US-flagged vessels for domestic transport, but waivers may be granted for specific circumstances.

Affected parties including US vessel operators and maritime industry stakeholders should review the application and submit relevant comments during the designated comment period.
