This is a law that no one truly understands or can describe.
From what I understand, the law was passed to protect US built ships and US crewed ships.
Well there haven't been any US built ships or US crewed ships since the 1950's. And I don't count NCL's Hawaii ships as the law was bent to get them in.
So, foreign flagged ships cant schedule Seattle to San Diego or Boston to Ft. Lauderdale. So who is hurt, all the ports losing potential cruise buisness up and down the east and west coast.
And Congress continues to make laws but can't unmake this idiotic law.
No US built or crewed ships since 1950? I guess your not including ships like the Alaska ferries.
Leaving ship before reaching final port?
