I have never heard of this magazine, so I checked the info at the site:

http://www.marinelog.com/DOCS/2hist.html

A long history.

Some here are saying that because there is some union connection this is all automatically suspect, but it seems to me the point of the piece you posted is that the Jones Act ISN'T preventing the use of foreign vessels.

If that's true, I don't see how this is some "CYA" article for "The Unions". What it seems to be saying is that Obama has no excuse for using any foreign vessels.

If this is the case, this is good information to know, and thanks for posting it.

Thanks,

I’m not sure what unions anyone would be talking about. Unions don’t cover oil rigs, and the Gulf Of Mexico has no union mariners, beyond the boats that transit from the east and west coasts. Small boats don’t do much union work.
