To rebuild America’s maritime fleet, Congress must
create demand for US ships
BY JERRY CARL, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 05/01/25 11:30 AM ET
With his “Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance” executive order last
month, President Trump sounded the alarm: Our nation will either rebuild its commercial
shipping fleet now or drift further into dependence on foreign vessels, most flying the
Chinese flag.
The executive order’s mandate for a maritime action plan calls for a serious agenda by
various agencies to revive the merchant marine, but meaningful change will require
Congress to step up and do its job. That starts with creating real, sustained demand for
U.S. shipping.
I grew up in Mobile, Ala., a port city with the maritime industry in its blood. My father
worked as a commercial mariner, and I’ve had the privilege of representing a district
with one of the largest shipyards in the country. I’ve seen firsthand how critical the
maritime industry is to our economic and national security alike.
I’ve also borne witness to what decades of neglect have done to a once-proud industry.
Growing up, I was in awe of the bustling waterfront with enormous cargo vessels of all
types pulling in with the Stars and Stripes flying boldly from their flagstaffs, and
homeports from the greatest cities in the country painted on their sterns.
