JAS Forwarding USA Inc. Compliance March Capitol Hill
This year’s conference began on September 10th and finished up on September 14th. One of this year’s topics of engagement by members of the NCBFAA was infrastructure and port dredging. Related to this topic is the Water Resources Development Act S.2848. This legislation addresses shortfalls in funding for various infrastructure projects to keep US Ports and Harbors competitive and in step with the continuous growth of vessel capacity. Key projects which are significant in numerous ports is continuous harbor deepening and dredging projects. With growth in vessel capacity comes increased draft (the amount of water required to float the vessel- the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the hull- water depth must be greater than the draft) which means that harbors need more depth. Failure to keep up with projects of this nature can have significant negative effects on the economy as the large vessels will not call where they cannot dock. GAC attendees “Marched the Hill” on Tuesday September 13, 2016. On September 15, 2016, by a vote of 95 to 3, the U.S. Senate passed the S.2848, the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2016. It is exciting to see action in a timely manner after engaging with our elected officials. JAS Forwarding USA Inc. Compliance team looks forward to attending next year and would welcome any topics our valued clients would like to raise that may be addressed in the future. Contact us today and let’s discuss how we can make a difference together! |
