submitted 20 years ago by Pub. L. 109-304 to r/title-46-SHIPPING · 58 words · no verdicts yet
When a vessel that the government requisitioned only for its use is returned to its owner, this law requires the Secretary of Transportation either to return it in condition at least as good as before (allowing for normal wear and tear), or to pay the owner enough money to fix it up to that standard.
When a vessel* that was requisitioned for use, but not permanent ownership, is given back to its owner, the Secretary of Transportation must do one of two things: (1) return the vessel in a condition at least as good as it was when taken, allowing for ordinary wear and tear; or (2) pay the owner enough money to bring the vessel back up to that condition, again allowing for ordinary wear and tear.
When a vessel* requisitioned for use but not ownership is returned to the owner, the Secretary of Transportation shall—
return the vessel in a condition at least as good as when taken, less ordinary wear and tear; or
pay the owner an amount sufficient to recondition the vessel to that condition, less ordinary wear and tear.
