AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) contracted for on or after August 27, 2003. The regulations distinguish between "new" and "existing" towing vessels based on the date the vessel was contracted for. A "new" towing vessel is one that was contracted for on or after August 27, 2003, as specified in the regulations. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the regulatory definition of a "new" towing vessel.
