Bill Summary
A BILL To require a certain percentage of natural gas and crude oil exports be transported on United States-built and United States-flag vessels, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Energizing American Shipbuilding Act of 2021, aims to require a certain percentage of natural gas and crude oil exports to be transported on vessels that are built and documented under the laws of the United States. The bill amends the Natural Gas Act and the Consolidated Appropriations Act to establish specific percentage requirements for the use of U.S.-built and U.S.-documented vessels to transport LNG and crude oil exports over a 21-year period, starting with a minimum of 2% for LNG and 3% for crude oil in the first 7 years, and gradually increasing to 15% for LNG and 10% for crude oil by the 22nd year and beyond. The bill also includes provisions for waiving certain requirements and ensuring opportunities for U.S. licensed and unlicensed mariners on these vessels.
