in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law sets money penalties, on top of other penalties, for U.S. vessels that break the rules in this part: $5,000 per day of illegal use of the vessel, and $1,000 against a ship's master who willfully fails to enforce these rules.

These forfeitures (money penalties) apply on top of the penalties and forfeitures already set out elsewhere in this subchapter. (a) Any U.S. vessel operated in violation of this part, or of the Commission's rules made under it, must forfeit $5,000 to the United States, recoverable through a lawsuit. Each day the vessel is operated this way counts as a separate violation. (b) If the master of a U.S. vessel willfully fails to enforce or follow this part, or the Commission's rules made under it, the master must forfeit $1,000 to the United States.
