The United States Coast Guard does not allow this design to enter US waters, effectively preventing it from being built. [1]
The United States Army DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) (formerly United States Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) [1]), located in Warren, Michigan, is the United States Armed Forces' research and development facility for advanced technology in ground systems.

A mid-deck oil tanker is a tanker design which includes an additional deck intended to limit spills if the tanker is damaged. The extra deck is placed at about the middle of the draft of the ship.
