Maine LD947 clarifies overnight docking rules for certain island ferry vessels at mainland ports.

Maine LD947 amends the Maine Revised Statutes to allow ferry vessels to dock overnight at their island port or a mainland port when that is common practice. The bill also permits the Department of Transportation to require a ferry vessel to dock at a mainland port or an alternative island port for emergency situations, such as extreme weather events. The Department of Transportation is authorized to adopt rules necessary to implement these provisions.
