The recent executive order concerning masks on public vessels and the related CDC guidance has caused some confusion in the industry. While vessel operators are within their rights to require masks to be worn at all times aboard their vessels, a number of our contracted companies are awaiting clarification from the federal government regarding the order’s actual scope. The SIU is working with federal agencies as well as vessel operators to fully understand (and possibly refine) the CDC guidance. We’ll post updates as they become available.
