Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Tankers, The Jones Act and New England January 5, 2022 [REVISED - There was an edit issue with the first version] On this episode of What's Going on With Shipping, host Sal Mercogliano - Chair of the Department of History, Criminal Justice, and Political Science, former merchant mariner, and instructor of Maritime History, Security and Industry Policy - discusses the issue behind foreign-flag Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) tankers transporting cargo to Boston, why the Jones Act prevents the shipment of American LNG, and why New York hates New England and refuses to construct a pipeline. We also discuss a plan that would provide American-flagged LNG tankers in both the short and long term and would benefit national security, the American maritime infrastructure, our energy and foreign policies.
