The Defense Force vessel that hit the rock going into Andros was not insured.
The PLP never paid the premium, so no coverage was in effect!
NUA will not make a big fuss because they have millions of other big government contracts that they don't want to loose.
They are hoping that the government will now pay the other contracts off as this new scandle becomes known. (many other buildings, etc, have not been paid on and are without coverage)...
In the meantime - who pays to fix the Arthur Hanna ??

Wrong, they clear in as a charter vessel and pay a 4% charter fee. They are working plane and simple.
They are in fact a commercial charter vessel.
Yes, cruising yachts can clear into the US and play with all their toys, they can not offer water sports for sale or hire. They can offer the pretty blond on the beach a ride on their wave runner but they can not charge for the services. If they are a commercial charter yacht then they also pay a bond and a charter fee to the US and yes they can offer the use of their toys to their guests.
Foreign Yachts charter for seasons at a time in different locations and pay the fees in each location. Now it is the Med in a few moths it will be the Bahamas, Caribbean and eastern seaboard.
To operate in US waters you have to abide by the Jones Act which states that
1) the vessel must be US made or US import taxes paid on the vessel 2) the crew and captain must be US citizens or residents. 3) the company must be domiciled in the US.

You are wrong.
To operate in US waters you have to abide by the Jones Act which states that
1) the vessel must be US made or US import taxes paid on the vessel
2) the crew and captain must be US citizens or residents.
3) the company must be domiciled in the US.
This is a fact on maritime law.
