The purpose of this legislation is to create a process that allows for temporary waivers of coastwise endorsement requirements for shipping certain goods. This is aimed at addressing situations where there are not enough suitable vessels available to transport specific products. Key provisions of the law include the ability for individuals or companies to request a waiver from the coastwise endorsement requirements if they can show that there are no available vessels that meet the necessary criteria. The request must demonstrate a good faith effort to find such a vessel.
