摘要：	In his first weeks in office, the administration of President Joe Biden hit the ground running, issuing a flurry of executive orders that outpaced those issued by President Donald Trump in his first days. One of those orders, 13998, mandated the wearing of masks on all "public maritime vessels, including ferries" to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. It was quickly followed by an order from the Centers for Disease Control, "Requirement for Persons to Wear Masks while On Conveyances and on Transportation Hubs." On February 1, the Coast Guard issued Marine Safety Information Bulletin (MSIB) 02-21, "COVID-19 Safety Requirements in the Maritime Transportation System." The MSIB, signed by Rear Adm. Richard V. Timme, Coast Guard assistant commandant for prevention policy, requires "conveyance operators" to use "best efforts" to require that "any person ensure that any person on the conveyance wears a mask when boarding, disembarking and for the duration of travel." Operators are required to monitor compliance with mask-wearing, and to remove anyone not complying at the earliest opportunity. The MSIB states, "Vessels that have not implemented the mask requirement may be issued a Captain of the Port order directing the vessel's movement and operations; repeated failure to impose the mask mandate could result in civil penalties and/or criminal action."
