Farrell Lines Incorporated; Notice of Application for Waiver of
Section 804(a) of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, As Amended

Farrell Lines Incorporated (Farrell), by application dated July 15,
1994, requests a waiver of the provisions of section 804(a) of the
Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended, so as to permit Farrell to ad
hoc charter, operate and/or act as Agent or Broker for any foreign-flag
vessel between the United States Gulf and east coast ports and the
Black Sea ports. The vessel type would be general-cargo ships not
exceeding 12000 DWT and having refrigerated and containerized cargo
capacity. The waiver is requested for the duration of Farrell's
Operating-Differential Subsidy Agreement, Contract MA/MSB-482, which
expires on December 31, 1997.
Farrell operates a regular U.S.-flag liner service between the U.S.
east coast and Mediterranean (Trade Route 10/13) with extension to the
Black Sea ports using foreign-flag feeder vessels as permitted by law.
Farrell states that it is not seeking to service any other mid point
areas such as the Mediterranean under the instant request and would
limit such sailings to no more than twelve voyages per year.
This application may be inspected in the Office of the Secretary,
Maritime Administration. Any person, firm, or corporation having any
interest in such request within the meaning of section 804 of the Act
and desiring to submit comments concerning the application must file
written comments in triplicate with the Secretary, Maritime
Administration, Room 7300, Nassif Building, 400 Seventh Street SW.,
Washington, D.C. 20590. Comments must be received no later than 5:00
p.m. on August 4, 1994. This notice is published as a matter of
discretion and publication should in no way be considered a favorable
or unfavorable decision on the application, as filed or as may be
amended. The Maritime Administrator will consider any comments
submitted and take such action with respect thereto as may be deemed
appropriate.
