A robust U.S.-flagged fleet means trade we can rely on, diplomatic strength and resources, and a fair future for American workers and our environment. It’s more important than ever to ensure that our trade can continue to move without relying on foreign ships. Other countries’ fleets are rapidly growing while ours decreases, but we need a robust fleet to secure our national security island economic interests.
