Jones Act Supporters Want Accountability For Waivers - The Waterways Journal

May 21, 2021
By Jim Myers
Washington, D.C. Major supporters of the Jones Act want those seeking to benefit from a waiver of the 100-year-old maritime law to be held accountable by the government.
To ensure that accountability as well as transparency, American Waterways Operators (AWO) President and CEO Jennifer Carpenter urged the Biden administration and Congress to apply the relevant provisions of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act.
American Maritime Partnership (AMP) President Mike Roberts “strenuously” encouraged such accountability to avoid undermining American jobs and consumers.
Roberts said the Jones Act should not be waived unless it was to respond to an urgent national security need that cannot be met reasonably with American ships. ....

We’re hearing from maritime unions and other stakeholders regarding the Jones Act waiver that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has issued to help alleviate fuel supply issues along the eastern seaboard in wake of the ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline.
Speaking to the waiver, the DHS Secretary released a statement late Wednesday providing insight on his decision, describing the waiver as “temporary and targeted” to a single undisclosed individual company, Valero Energy.
The Jones Act is the 1920 law requiring that goods shipped between U.S. ports be transported on ships that are not only U.S.-flagged, but aslo built, owned, and operated by United States citizens or permanent residents. It serves as the backbone of the nation’s domestic maritime industry and merchant marine. ....
