Paper: The Jones Act Desk
Day: 2026-09-03
What it shows: Cargo exemption proposed for noncontiguous routes
The scene as painted: A wide shot of a bustling container terminal at dusk, with a large crane in the foreground and a foreign-built US-flag vessel docked in the background, its cargo holds open to receive or discharge containers, under a warm orange sky with the sun setting behind the crane, casting long shadows across the terminal floor, where small figures of workers in plain clothing move among the containers and equipment.
