Transportation Department, Maritime Administration
This amendment to the cargo preference regulations of the Maritime Administration (MARAD) provides that, for a one-season trial period corresponding to the current Great Lakes shipping season when the St. Lawrence Seaway System is in use, which began on April 5, 1994, MARAD will consider the legal requirement for the carriage of bulk agricultural commodity preference cargoes on privately-owned ``available'' U.S.-flag vessels to have been satisfied where the cargo is initially loaded at a Great Lakes port on one or more U.S.-flag or foreign-flag vessels, transferred to a U.S.-flag commercial vessel at a Canadian transshipment point outside the St. Lawrence Seaway, and carried on that U.S.-flag vessel to a foreign destination. This amendment will allow Great Lakes ports to compete for agricultural commodity preference cargoes during that one-season trial period.
