This law creates one exception: while a vessel holds the "American Great Lakes vessel" designation, it does not have to meet the usual three-year U.S.-documentation requirement that other vessels need in order to carry certain government-linked cargo.
Normally, section 55305(a) requires a vessel to have been documented (registered) under U.S. law for at least three years before it can carry certain cargo covered by that section. This section removes that three-year requirement for any vessel that currently holds an American Great Lakes vessel designation. The exception lasts only as long as the designation stays in effect.
