Summary
This bill exempts vessels transporting crude oil and petroleum products from certain U.S. coastwise endorsement requirements, which typically restrict domestic maritime commerce to U.S.-flagged or U.S.-built vessels. The exemption would allow foreign-flagged vessels to transport crude oil and petroleum products between U.S. ports, subject to exclusions for vessels owned by or crewed by Russian or Chinese nationals. The bill amends federal maritime law to create this new category of eligible vessels.
