Passenger Vessel Facilitation: Ending Coastal Shipping Restrictions
This act aims to remove barriers for passenger vessels operating between U.S. ports, including those that call at foreign ports. This could mean more accessible cruise options and potentially lower prices for passengers, as well as easier crew employment. The changes may foster the growth of maritime tourism in the United States.
Key points
Repeal of regulations restricting passenger vessel movement between U.S. ports, even if they visit foreign ports en route.
Simplification of citizenship rules for passenger vessel crews, potentially easing employment.
Facilitation of temporary shore leave permits for foreign crew members of passenger vessels.
