smeyer418 Posted June 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2014 http://www.maritime-executive.com/article/Sink-the-Jones-Act--An-Appeal-to-Ignorance-2014-06-11 While its the PVSA that does the same for the cruise industry as the Jones Act does for the merchant fleet, this is an interesting discussion. CLIA(the cruise industry trade group) takes no position on the repeal of the PVSA. They know I think that if it was to be repealed, the cost would mean more regulation of the non-US flagged vessels on employment and other issues(like taxing them)...see http://www.cruising.org/regulatory/cruise-industry-policies/industry-practices/passenger-services-act-practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlueRiband Posted June 25, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The airlines would never want the PVSA repealed either. If you're United Airlines do you want British Air to be able to sell tickets for the LA-NY leg of a flight from LA to Heathrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
