Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The American LNG First Act of 2026 exempts certain vessels transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) from federal coastwise endorsement requirements, allowing them to carry cargo between U.S. ports without meeting the usual domestic-vessel standards. The exemption excludes vessels owned by or flagged to Russia or China, or those with Russian or Chinese crew members. The bill amends federal maritime law to create this carve-out for LNG transport vessels.
