@deepakkumarsingh7751 you can apply but when you go for interview, they will ask why do you want Visa, then you need to show proof that your vessel will be transiting thru US so you need us visa So you need proof as company cover letter
Sir, under the 'crew visa' section i.e the last section of the application, is it important to mention the ship's name ? Can we select the answer for the question "Are you serving aboard a sea going ship or vessel ?" As "NO"
Yes you can select But usually they ask for company letter and also why do you want Us Visa in interview. In that case a vessel name is alloted by company for time being to show the reason why you need to go to USA or your vessel travels to USA
