The information provided in the table distinguishes fishing vessels and non-fishing vessels. This latter category includes cargo-carrying vessels, tugboats and supply vessels and other merchant vessels. The United States is providing additional information on the use, sale, lease or repair of relevant vessels. Please find enclosed a detailed listing of all merchant vessels (100 gross tons and above) delivered and expected to be delivered (ordered) during the period 2004 through 2016. This information includes the vessel name, vessel type, status, gross tonnage, builder, and operator. The United States is also supplying detailed information on fishing vessels (5 net tons and above) delivered in the United States during the period 2004 through 2016, including the vessel name, net tonnage, and builder. The United States is no longer supplying detailed information on fishing vessels (5 net tons and above) expected to be delivered (ordered) in the United States; as indicated in the 2015 notification, such data is no longer available after November 2014. Finally, the United States is providing information relating to US employment in the shipbuilding and repair industries during the period 2006 through 2016. These tables reflect the best information currently available. As underlying data may be periodically revised or corrected, the information contained in this submission is subject to change.
