RE: The Jones Act and Taiwanese Trawlers

Good advise. To be limited to a UPV 6 pack usage, does limit the flexability of the vessel.* The cost to apply has gone up from the 150.00 you paid to 500.00 so one has to decide on the value add based on their planned usage.

I have learned more since my original post. The Waiver for the Jones Act is managed by:

Maritime Administraction. The form*can be found at:

More detail on the process can be found at:
