Senate Pushes Ocean Trade Policy for American Merchant Fleet
A Senate commerce subcommittee bill substitutes the House merchant marine proposal, aiming to establish an America first policy. It requires coastwise shipping be all American owned with 75 percent American ownership in foreign trade firms, limits selling ships to foreigners, and creates a seven member shipping board to run or charter the fleet. The bill also bars the ICC from granting preferential rates unless American vessels are used and urges the president to end restrictive treaties within 90 days. The plan contrasts with the House mandate to sell government ships promptly.
