42:41Now PlayingIn this episode of What's Going on With Shipping, Sal Mercogliano breaks down a recent Congressional hearing on the future of the U.S. maritime industry. The discussion centers on the FY 2027 budget requests from the Maritime Administration (MARAD) and the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), as well as the implementation of the "Maritime Action Plan."
The video examines the opening statements from MARAD Administrator Captain Steve Carmel and FMC Chairperson Laura DiBella, highlighting critical gaps in the current strategy—specifically the controversial and "batshit crazy" process for approving Jones Act waivers.
