AI Summary
This bill requires the securing of mooring lines from vessels requiring tug assistance to commercial docks, wharves, piers, quays, and landings to be performed by an operational stevedoring company currently operating in the State of Hawaii, except for vessels used in shipyard or boatyard operations. The bill also defines key terms such as "commodity," "manifested cargo," "shipyard" or "boatyard," and "stevedoring company."
