  • Three Jones Act Ships Launched
    MAY 2017 VOLUME 79 NO. 5 Three Jones Act Ships Launched As March wound down, three new SIU-contracted vessels were in the news following launch ceremonies at various shipyards across the country. Those ships, which will sail in the Jones Act trade, are the Palmetto State (photo at right), the El Coqui (second photo below) and the American Freedom (immediately below). Featured in the group photo at the bottom of the page are American Freedom crew members (stand- ing, from left) OMU Harlan Ouellette, SA Abdulla Quraish, Chief Cook David Dingman, AB Dennis Saggese, Pumpman Felix Garcia, Chief Steward Stephen Avallone, AB Brandon Albro, Bosun Joshua Mensah, AB Arsenio Malunes, (kneeling, from left) AB Julius Thomas, Oiler Benjamin Stan- ley and AB John McEl- haney.

As re- ported there and elsewhere in this edition, three new SIU-contracted vessels recently were launched at shipyards on all three sea coasts. There’s no way companies would make those kinds of invest- ments in domestic American-flag shipping without the Jones Act – a law that has served our nation extremely well for nearly a century. Old salts probably know the essentials of America’s freight cabotage law, but for any newcomers, the Jones Act requires that cargo moving between domestic ports is carried aboard ships that are crewed, built, flagged and owned American.

  • NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT Vessel History
    NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT VESSEL: USNS Potomac (AO-150) (T-AO-181) Potomac at the Beaumont Reserve Fleet in January 2009. Maritime Administration photos. Vessel History The product tanker Potomac was constructed for the United States Navy’s Military Sea Transportation Service (MSTS) in 1964. An earlier MSTS tanker of the same name was constructed in 1957; however it was lost to fire in 1961. The current Potomac incorporates the salvaged stern section, including the propulsion machinery of the earlier vessel, but is considered a new vessel for official documentation purposes. However, outside of the documentation realm, the two vessels are often considered to be one and the same, therefore, this report includes the earlier vessel for context. The first Potomac was built by Sun Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company of Chester, Pennsylvania in 1957. It was one of a class of four tankers for which Sun produced the plans and specifications for the Navy’s Bureau of Ships. In keeping with the Navy’s naming system, these vessels were named for American rivers; USNS Maumee, USNS Potomac, USNS Shoshone, and USNS Yukon. Maumee was the first ship completed and was delivered to the Navy on December 1, 1956. Potomac was launched on October 8, 1956 and delivered on January 30, 1957. Potomac was designated AO‐150 and assigned to the MSTS. The MSTS was a post‐World War II combination of four predecessor government agencies that handled similar sealift functions. These included the Navy’s Naval Transportation Service and Fleet Support Service, the Army Transport Service, and the War Shipping Administration of the United States Maritime Commission.
