Easing Port Dredging Rules to Boost U.S. Supply Chain Efficiency.
This legislation aims to simplify and accelerate dredging operations in U.S. ports and waterways. It achieves this by removing certain requirements for vessels engaged in dredging and excluding dredged material from specific restrictive transportation rules. These changes are intended to increase port capacity and efficiency, potentially leading to smoother supply chains and lower costs for consumers.
