The scene the art director wrote
A worn cargo ship sails into a bustling harbor, its rusting hull a deep orange, while a group of people on the dock, with concerned expressions, watch a large crane lift a section of a new destroyer into place, under a grey sky with dark clouds gathering.
Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received
Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A worn cargo ship sails into a bustling harbor, its rusting hull a deep orange, while a group of people on the dock, with concerned expressions, watch a large crane lift a section of a new destroyer into place, under a grey sky with dark clouds gathering. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.

MARAD has no authority to compel Jones Act waiver voyage reports
Federal rules require waiver users to report completed voyages within 10 days, but the agency lacks the power to enforce the requirement.
By Dana Whitfield · 2wThe U.S. Maritime Administration has no legal authority to compel the completed-voyage reports that Jones Act waiver users are required to file, gCaptain reports.
Federal rules give vessel owners or operators using the waiver 10 days to report finished voyages to the agency, but nothing in the rule arms the agency to demand a filing.
That split appears to leave the 10-day reporting requirement effectively voluntary.
