The bill introduces and defines new terms related to commercial fishing vessels and their operational standards, effectively updating the existing definitions in the U.S. Code.

  • 46 U.S.C. § 2101

    commercial fishing vessel → alternative fuel commercial fishing vessel

    This change introduces a definition for 'alternative fuel commercial fishing vessel', distinguishing it from traditional commercial fishing vessels.

  • 46 U.S.C. § 2101

    a vessel that commercially engages in the catching, taking, or harvesting of fish or an activity that can reasonably be expected to result in the catching, taking, or harvesting of fish. → a commercial fishing vessel that runs on an energy source other than an energy source that is exclusively derived from petroleum, including a hybrid energy source.

    This expands the definition of commercial fishing vessels to include those powered by alternative energy sources.

  • 46 U.S.C. § 2101

    necessary shoreside infrastructure means shoreside infrastructure necessary to facilitate the transition of commercial fishing vessels to alternative fuel commercial fishing vessels, including charging stations for electric alternative fuel commercial fishing vessels and refueling stations for alternative fuel commercial fishing vessels.

    This adds a new definition for infrastructure needed to support the transition to alternative fuel commercial fishing vessels.
