"California has a new way of getting gasoline, for the first time in modern memory
A century ago, Congress passed a maritime law in the wake of World War I that was seen as essential for national defense and commerce.
But the old law created difficulties for coastal states such as California: It has limited the type of ships that can bring in needed fuel.
Now, after the war in Iran sent gas prices soaring, the Trump administration has set the law aside — and the shift is opening new pathways for fuel to reach the Bay Area and elsewhere in California, including shipments from Gulf Coast refineries.
The 1920 law, called the Jones Act, prevents ships registered in foreign countries from transporting goods between U.S. ports. One of the ideas was to bolster commerce on American ships.
It has an outsize impact on California. The state has no pipelines bringing fuel in, leaving marine transport as one of the only import options. That relative isolation is one of several reasons California’s oil prices are higher than the rest of the nation’s."

President Trump has enacted a 60-day waiver of the Jones Act, permitting non-American vessels to transport essential goods, including oil, between U.S. ports. This measure aims to address immediate supply chain needs. #JonesAct #SupplyChain
-
The requirement sharply limits the number of tankers available for domestic shipments, but is supported by maritime industry #unions.
Waiving the rule temporarily would allow foreign ships to carry cargoes between #US ports, potentially lowering #shipping costs & speeding deliveries. Analysts have said, however, that the impact on pump prices will likely be minimal.

So… not “America First” eh?
The #Trump admin on Wednesday announced a 60-day waiver of #JonesAct #shipping #regulations to help ease deliveries of #fuel & #fertilizer to combat rising #prices & #supply disruptions caused by #TrumpsWar in #Iran.
Under the Jones Act, goods shipped between #US ports must be carried on vessels that are US/built, US-flagged & mostly US-owned.

"White House considers waiving maritime commerce restrictions as fuel prices skyrocket
The move comes as the U.S. and Israel’s war in Iran has sent oil prices soaring, with a key choke point effectively blocked.
The White House is considering waiving a century-old law that promotes the use of American vessels in maritime commerce, as the Trump administration faces rising fuel prices amid the ongoing war in Iran.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that the administration may waive the Jones Act, a 1920 statute that requires cargo being moved by water between U.S. ports to be shipped on vessels that are built, owned and registered in the U.S.
'In the interest of national defense, the White House is considering waiving the Jones Act for a limited period of time to ensure vital energy products and agricultural necessities are flowing freely to U.S. ports,' Leavitt said. 'This action has not been finalized.'
The development, which was first reported by Bloomberg News, comes as the White House faces growing political pressure over rising gas and oil prices, with Iran moving to choke off traffic in the critical Strait of Hormuz amid the U.S. and Israel’s ongoing war with the country."

So the psycho #supremeCourt threw out the executive branch as enactor of laws with #LoperBright when they destroyed the #ChevronDoctrine
Here's a long article about places that the shipping industry will now start grinding bone against bone in the court system without that executive cartilage https://gard.no/articles/us-supreme-courts-decision-in-loper-bright-a-sea-change-for-us-maritime/
Like: the #jonesAct requires ships that go from one USA port to another be USA owned and USA built. How much foreign repair and foreign components makes a ship foreign? What percentage of what ownership structure makes a ship foreign-owned? There were answers for that once
-
@kevinctofel It would be fabulous if we could have more water-based shipping. Too bad our protectionist BS makes it too expensive, while also raising carbon emissions, and raising costs of goods for people in place like #Hawaii and #PuertoRico

Bill passed by Congress that further restricts Jones Act waivers could imperil Puerto Rico.
[...]
"In the example of Puerto Rico, a foreign ship that is already full of fuel and available cannot respond to an emergency situation if it has already made one stop at a U.S. port."

Exceptions and waivers from the #JonesAct are hard to come by, and thanks to the 4,300-page 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (#NDAA), on its way right now to get the president's signature, it's about to become even harder. A section of the bill (buried down on page 1,724) adds new restrictions and even a time delay to make it more challenging for government officials to offer a waiver, even during times of crisis.
