A vessel is to make a voyage between New York and San Juan, Puerto Rico, and return. The crew should be signed on which articles?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Shipping articles requirements for U.S. vessels on different types of voyages • How voyages to U.S. territories (like Puerto Rico) are classified under U.S. shipping laws • Differences between coastwise, intercoastal, and foreign articles

💭 Think About

• Is a voyage from New York to San Juan considered entirely domestic, entirely foreign, or something in between under U.S. law? • How does the law treat trade between the continental U.S. and U.S. territories for manning and documentation purposes? • Which type of articles normally apply when a vessel operates between ports under the same national flag, even if it leaves the continental U.S.?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and how that affects voyage classification • Check which type of articles are used for voyages between ports of the same country but on different coasts or separated by non‑U.S. waters • Verify if any situation truly allows no articles for an ocean voyage on a merchant vessel carrying a full crew
