Jones Act Third Rail

[Steamer]

@DutchHarBro

there is little new labor coming into the ranks. I regualrly handle Jones Act tankers and the crews on board are geriatric, compared to the foreign flagged vessels I would say that on average that the American Mariner (this is complete conjecture, take it with a grain of salt), is probably 15 years older than their foreign counterpart. I firmly believe that if the US maritime industry could attract more domestic labor

Maybe the $121 million in taxpayer dollars going to KP would do more good elsewhere, like for training and retention of American mariners.
