Because of the fuel supply disruptions caused by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, the Jones Act, which prohibits U.S. coastwise trading by foreign flag vessels, has been suspended from September 6 to September 13 for the carriage of refined petroleum products from New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Lousiana to South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. A possible extension of the waiver of the Act will be considered on September 13. To read the Department of Energy waiver, click here.
