    The Maritime Administration (MARAD), part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, is inviting public comments on the eligibility of a foreign-built vessel, ZEKI, for a coastwise endorsement to carry up to 12 passengers in the U.S. The vessel is intended for passenger cruises and transport along the north and east coasts of Puerto Rico, based in San Juan. Comments can be submitted until January 21, 2025, and should consider the potential impact on U.S. vessel builders and businesses using U.S.-flag vessels. The complete application is available online for review, and MARAD will use public feedback to assess any adverse effects on U.S. industries before issuing a decision.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government is asking people if it's okay for a boat made in another country to give fun rides to 12 people or less around Puerto Rico. They want to make sure this won't hurt American boat makers or businesses.

    The Maritime Administration (MARAD), under the Department of Transportation, is looking to determine if a foreign-built vessel, named Open Seas, can be eligible for coastwise trade endorsement. This endorsement would allow the vessel to carry up to 12 passengers for hire. The administration is seeking public comments on how this might impact U.S. vessel builders or businesses using U.S.-flagged vessels. Comments, which can be submitted by February 5, 2025, should focus on whether approving this request could negatively affect domestic industry.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to know if a big, foreign-built boat called Open Seas can be used in the U.S. to take people on fun trips. They're asking people in the U.S. who make or use American boats if this might hurt their business, and they'd like to hear what everyone thinks by February 5, 2025.
