Any tween deck vessel that provides official documents describing it as a Flush or Freedom Mark II type is acceptable for intransit fumigation under the FGIS "Fumigation Handbook" and does not need any special letter from FGIS. Some requests for a letter (citing tender requirement) are still being received.
The following list of acceptable tween deckers is not all-inclusive. It only covers the specific vessels that we have reviewed. For more information regarding this list or if you have any other fumigation related question contact Henry Greenwood at 202-720-1732; henry.c.greenwood@usda.gov
The CLEVELAND is an old style tween deck vessel that is approved on a voyage-by voyage basis, provided, the letter of temporary approval is followed completely. Each field office manager has received a copy of this letter.
