The Maritime Administration (MARAD), part of the Department of Transportation, is seeking notifications from owners and operators of coastwise-qualified launch barges or others interested in working with platform jackets. These notifications, which include details such as company contact information and specifications of the vessels, will help maximize the use of these vessels for transportation and installation tasks on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf. Comments must be submitted by March 3, 2025, and can be sent via mail or through an online portal.
Simple Explanation
The Maritime Administration wants to make sure special boats called launch barges are used for building things in the ocean. They ask people who own these boats to tell them if they want to help, and people can also give their opinions by March 3, 2025.
