On this episode of What's Going on With Shipping, Sal Mercogliano - Chair of the Department of History, Criminal Justice, and Political Science, former merchant mariner and adjunct professor of Maritime Industry Policy at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy - examines the proposed modification to the Passenger Vessel Services Act of 1886 proposed by Senator Lisa Murkowski to exempt Alaska from its enforcement. Background on the legislation, what the current law says, and why the big cruise cruise lines are the beneficiaries of such a repeal. We also discuss some options that would not merely benefit the cruise lines, but also the United States, including the domestic cruise industry.
