DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Maritime Administration 

Voluntary Intermodal Sealift 

Agreement Open Season 

AGENCY: Maritime Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of open season for 

enrollment in the VISA program. 

SUMMARY: The Maritime Administration 

(MARAD) announces that the open 

season for Fiscal Year 2015 applications 

for participation in the Voluntary 

Intermodal Sealift Agreement (VISA) 

program will run for 30 days beginning 

today and ending September 8, 2014. 

The purpose of this notice is to invite 

interested, qualified U.S.-flag vessel 

operators that are not currently enrolled 

in the VISA program to apply. This is 

the only planned enrollment period for 

carriers to join the VISA program and 

derive benefits for Department of 

Defense (DOD) peacetime contracts 

initiated during the period from October 

1, 2014, through September 30, 2015. 

Any U.S.-flag vessel operator 

organized under the laws of a state of 

the United States, or the District of 

Columbia, who is able and willing to 

commit militarily useful sealift assets 

and assume the related consequential 

risks of commercial disruption, may be 

eligible to participate in the VISA 

program. 

The mission of VISA is to provide 

commercial sealift and intermodal 

shipping services and systems, 

including vessels, vessel space, 

intermodal systems and equipment, 

terminal facilities, and related 

management services, to the Department 

of Defense (DOD), as necessary, to meet 

national defense contingency 

requirements or national emergencies. 

Carriers enrolled in the VISA program 

provide DOD with assured access to 

such services during contingencies. In 

return for their VISA commitment, DOD 

gives VISA participants priority for 

peacetime cargos. 

DATES: VISA Program applications must 

be received on or before September 8, 

2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit applications and 

questions related to this notice to 

Jerome D. Davis, Director, Office of 

Sealift Support, U.S. Department of

Administration, 1200 New Jersey

Administration, 1200 New Jersey

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The VISA 

program was established pursuant to 

Section 708 of the Defense Production 

Act of 1950, as amended (DPA). The 

VISA program was created to provide 

for voluntary agreements for emergency 

preparedness programs. Pursuant to the 

DPA, voluntary agreements for 

preparedness programs, including the 

VISA program expire five (5) years after 

the date they became effective. 

The VISA program is open to U.S.-flag 

vessel operators of oceangoing militarily 

useful vessels, to include tugs and 

barges. An operator is defined as an 

owner or bareboat charterer of a vessel. 

Tug enrollment alone does not satisfy 

VISA eligibility. Operators include 

vessel owners and bareboat charter 

operators if satisfactory signed 

agreements are in place committing the 

assets of the owner to VISA. Voyage and 

space charterers are not considered 

U.S.-flag vessel operators for purposes 

of VISA eligibility. 

VISA Concept 

The VISA program provides for the 

staged, time-phased availability of 

participants’ shipping services/systems 

through pre-negotiated contracts 

between the Government and 

participants. Such arrangements are 

jointly planned with the MARAD, 

USTRANSCOM, and participants in 

peacetime to allow effective and best 

valued use of commercial sealift 

capacity, provide DOD assured 

contingency access, and to minimize 

commercial disruption. 

There are three time-phased stages in 

the event of VISA activation. VISA 

Stages I and II provide for prenegotiated contracts between DOD and 

participants to provide sealift capacity 

to meet all projected DOD contingency 

requirements. These contracts are 

executed in accordance with approved 

DOD contracting methodologies. VISA 

Stage III provides for additional capacity 

to DOD when Stages I and II 

commitments or volunteered capacity 

are insufficient to meet contingency 

requirements, and adequate shipping 

services from non-participants are not 

available through established DOD 

contracting practices or U.S. 

Government treaty agreements. 

Exceptions to This Open Season 

The only exception to this open 

season period for VISA enrollment will 

be for a non-VISA carrier that reflags a 

vessel into U.S. registry. That carrier 

may submit an application to participate 

in the VISA program at any time upon 

completion of reflagging. 

Advantages of Peacetime Participation 

In return for their VISA commitment, 

DOD awards peacetime cargo contracts 

to VISA participants on a priority basis. 

Award of DOD cargoes to meet DOD 

peacetime and contingency 

requirements is made on the basis of the 

following priorities: U.S.-flag vessel 

capacity operated by VISA participants 

and U.S.-flag Vessel Sharing Agreement 

(VSA) capacity held by VISA 

participants; U.S.-flag vessel capacity 

operated by non-participants; 

Combination U.S.-flag/foreign-flag 

vessel capacity operated by VISA 

participants, and combination U.S.-flag/ 

foreign-flag VSA capacity held by VISA 

participants; Combination U.S.-flag/

foreign-flag vessel capacity operated by 

non-participants; U.S.-owned or 

operated foreign-flag vessel capacity and 

VSA capacity held by VISA 

participants; U.S.-owned or operated 

foreign-flag vessel capacity and VSA 

capacity held by non-participants; and 

Foreign-owned or operated foreign-flag 

vessel capacity of non-participants. 

Participation 

Applicants must provide satisfactory 

evidence that the vessels being 

committed to the VISA program are 

operational and are intended to be 

operated by the applicant in the carriage 

of commercial or government preference 

cargoes. Operator is defined as an ocean 

common carrier or contract carrier that 

owns, controls or manages vessels by 

which ocean transportation is provided. 

While vessel brokers, freight forwarders, 

and agents play an important role as a 

conduit to locate and secure appropriate 

vessels for the carriage of DOD cargo, 

they are not eligible to participate in the 

VISA program due to lack of requisite 

vessel ownership or operation. 

Commitment 

Any U.S.-flag vessel operator desiring 

to receive priority consideration for 

DOD peacetime contracts must commit 

no less than 50 percent of its total U.S.- 

flag militarily useful capacity in Stage 

III of the VISA program. Participants 

operating vessels in international trade 

may receive top tier consideration in the 

award of DOD peacetime contracts by
