The bill outlines subsidies for American ships with no ballast bounty, a sliding scale by vessel size and speed, and a cargo requirement on voyages. It allows some foreign-built ships under U S ownership to receive half the bounty after matching U S tonnage, plus crew nationality and cadet quotas, mail subsidies, and caps on annual subsidization. Opponents argue it favors European trade and fast liners over heavy cargo ships and neglects South American routes.
