Bill overview
This resolution expresses concern about the use of ‘flag-of-convenience’ shipping practices, where ships register in countries with lax regulations to avoid tariffs, sanctions, and labor standards. It highlights the risks these practices pose to national security, maritime industries, and international efforts to combat illegal fishing and maritime crime. The resolution urges international cooperation to address these issues and supports initiatives to strengthen the U.S. maritime sector.
