The purpose of this legislative text is to repeal the restrictions imposed by the Jones Act on coastwise trade in the United States. The Jones Act currently requires that goods transported between U.S. ports be carried on ships that are built, owned, and operated by Americans. This bill aims to open up coastwise trade to more competition and potentially lower shipping costs. Key provisions of the bill include the repeal of certain limitations on coastwise trade. It allows vessels that meet U.S. laws to obtain a coastwise endorsement, which permits them to engage in trade between U.S. ports.
