> "GLOBAL trade and international shipping have hit
> a rock. 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. "
