These vessels occasionally carry various types of\nequipment such as generators with residue of fuel in the tank that are properly identified as a hazardous\nmaterial.\nEach vessel operator, that is, each \"person\" as defined by the federal hazardous materials\ntransportation law that has operational control of a vessel, that transports hazardous materials from\nUnited States ports to South America may be subject to the registration requirement if the materials\nbeing transported fall into the categories of materials that require registration. In addition, each person\ndomiciled in the United States that performs a function pertaining to the offering for transportation or\naccepting for transportation, a hazardous material that is loaded on a vessel at a United States port may\nI hope this answers your inquiry.\nSincerely,\nShan IS o\nDelmer F.
