The US has a directive ready not to allow entry of ships with crew or flying the flag of 24 identified nations. This means a ship cannot enter US harbours if it belongs to any of these nations, nor will it be allowed to berth if it carries crew from these countries. They will also not be able to touch these countries as the last port of call before sailing for America. The directive, proposed by the US Coast Guard, has turning into a virtual nightmare for the shipping industry. It is desperately seeking to make vessels US-directive compliant, causing an upheaval in the industry routes are being altered, crews changed and vessel contracts are being reworked.
