The Jones Act requires the use of U.S. registered, owned, flagged and crewed (75 percent) vessels between ports in U.S. states and territories, except the Virgin Islands, Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands.

The U.S. government approved new restrictions that will make it even more complicated for Puerto Rico - and other jurisdictions - to have a waiver of the Jones Act during an emergency such as Hurricane Fiona last September.
