“Five Key Facts About the SHIPS for America Act” –Podcast

Posted on by

The “What’s Going On With Shipping” podcast is not normally about the Coast Guard but it is about the Marine Transportation System with which the Coast Guard is intimately intertwined so inevitably the Coast Guard will be mentioned from time to time.

For some reason I didn’t publish this when it came out, but the act, “The Shipbuilding and Harbor Infrastructure for Prosperity and Security (SHIPS) for America Act December 19, 2024,” has yet to be signed into law and it is expected to resurface in the near future.

This particular edition has a lot to say about the Coast Guard administered mariner credentialing beginning at time 14:45. The contention is that it is much more difficult than it should be.

  1. Hopefully the Trump Administration will leave its mark on the Act with increased importance and priority on Surface Combatant, Submarine, Logistics & Maintenance Support ships, and improvement and growth in U.S. shipyards. We shall see.
