Bill overview
The Energizing American Shipbuilding Act of 2019 aims to boost domestic shipbuilding by requiring a minimum percentage of U.S.-built and U.S.-flagged vessels to transport natural gas and crude oil exports. The bill directs the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to mandate these percentages and requires the Energy Information Administration (EIA) to collect and publish data on exports by vessel. It also amends existing legislation to apply similar requirements to crude oil exports, with provisions for waivers and opportunities for mariner training.
