Shipbuilders Basics


Shipbuilding has a long and rich history. Ships have served many purposes over the years, including exploration, travel, transporting goods and war. The one thing that hasn't changed in many years of shipbuilding is the pride ship makers have in their work. Today, shipbuilders work to develop new technology while still keeping traditional techniques alive.

Without shipbuilders vital freight transportation in the United States would stop, and the US would lose a very critical part of national defense. In recognition of this, the US government created the Jones Act. This is of great importance to the shipbuilding industry. Here are just a few reasons why:

1. The Jones Act ensures that US citizens build and maintain ships transporting goods within the US.

2. It provides jobs to US commercial ship builders and protects against low-cost foreign shipbuilders that do not have the same wage or environmental standards the US does.

3. It protects national security by ensuring that the US has a fleet of US-owned vessels at the ready in case of emergency.
