Modified Ship Bill Aims to Ease Objections Today
A measure to license foreign and domestic common carriers in American waters would revoke licenses for violations and restrict transfers of US vessels to foreign flags. The bill allows government stock control of merchant ships, with private operation but majority government ownership to protect national interests. The plan mirrors the Panama Railroad Company model and seeks to curb unfair foreign competition while expanding maritime capacity. The Senate outlook appears favorable after recent presidential talks and concessions to opponents.
