Maritime innovation is essential to America’s economic and environmental future, and the Next Generation Shipping Act delivers the bold, forward-looking investment needed to keep our nation competitive. By advancing zero-emission vessels, modernizing port infrastructure, and strengthening domestic shipbuilding, this legislation charts a cleaner, smarter course for the shipping industry. It will reduce harmful pollution in port communities, create high-quality jobs, and ensure American workers and manufacturers lead the global transition to next-generation maritime technology. I’m proud to support this effort to secure a more sustainable and prosperous future for our coastal communities and our country.
