    The Maritime Administration (MARAD) of the Department of Transportation is considering a request to allow a foreign-built vessel named VALKYRIE, intended for passenger sailing charters, to operate in the coastwise trade near Honolulu, Hawaii. The vessel would carry no more than twelve passengers, and MARAD is seeking public comments on whether this would negatively impact U.S. vessel builders or companies that operate U.S.-flag vessels. Interested parties can submit their comments until January 6, 2025, through various methods, including online at regulations.gov. MARAD will only approve the request if it determines there is no adverse effect on U.S. businesses as per relevant regulations.

    A big boat named VALKYRIE, made in another country, wants to take people on fun trips in Hawaii. The people in charge want to know if letting this boat work there will be a problem for boats made in the U.S., so they are asking others what they think.
