  Cabotage relaxation move -- Foreign ships to ply the coast
In fact, the NSICT example has emboldened the advocates of the Cabotage relaxation who are convinced of the development of hub operations and the consequent benefits accruing to the Indian operators.
However, the anti-relaxation group is of the opinion that the Cabotage provisions must to be strictly enforced to ensure that foreign flag vessels do not operate in Indian coastal waters for transporting cargoes between Indian ports.
It may be recalled that the Union Government had relaxed the Cabotage Law partially from 1992 to 1997 in respect of transshipment of containers by foreign flag vessels or feeder lines from one Indian port to another.

 Aviation International News | Cabotage rules in Canada require special attention   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In regards to aviation, cabotage rules typically deny a foreign carrier the right to pick up paying passengers in the host country and transport them from point to point within that country.
Canadian Customs generally considers all corporate aircraft to be engaged in non-commercial operations “unless specifically engaged in a commercial charter or other operation for hire or remuneration.” The NBAA memorandum cautions corporate operators to consult with the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) regarding possible restrictions on carriage of passengers between points in Canada.
Stine points out that Canadian Customs is charged with enforcing cabotage, but its definition of fractional ownership is not necessarily the same as that in Canadian aviation regulations.

Following Guam's approval to be exempted from cabotage law for air cargo service, Governor Togiola said he will seek the help of Congressman Faleomavaega so that the federal cabotage law is also waived for American Samoa.
He said the cabotage cargo exemption for Guam was granted on August 4 for two-years, according to DOT "because it already mirrors what is already allowed for foreign carriers doing business in airports in Hawaii and Alaska."
However, Guam's request for passenger cabotage was denied as it is not permitted at any U.S. location, and such cabotage authority has not been granted by any foreign country to U.S. airlines, the governor said.

 FTA - News and Press Centre - Press Release - Foreign lorries and cabotage - finger the offenders, says FTA
This follows the Department for Transport providing clarification of their interpretation of the cabotage rules — the EU rules which govern the operation of one EU member state’s vehicles in another member state on domestic journeys.
Foreign lorries operating in the UK now constitute around one in seven of the heaviest vehicles on our roads and, due to lower fuel duty and labour rates in Europe, are able to work at considerably lower costs than the domestic fleet.
FTA says that where the cabotage rules are flouted this compounds the unfair competitive position that UK carriers find themselves in.
