Reform Jones Act and PVSA for Hawaii (Hawaii Together)
Recent waivers show flaws in the laws. The host for this episode is Keli’i Akina. The guests for this episode are Colin Grabow and Jonathan Helton.
President Joe Biden recently issued two Jones Act waivers to help facilitate fuel transport from Texas to the East Coast after the Colonial Pipeline shutdown. He also waived the Passenger Vessel Services Act to help Alaska’s cruise ship industry. With those incidents in mind, “Hawaii Together” host Keli’i Akina will talk with Grassroot Scholar and Cato Institute policy analyst Colin Grabow Grassroot Institute research associate Jonathan Helton about whether waivers or other sorts of relief from these two federal maritime laws could also help Hawaii.
