US legislators reintroduce bill seeking to reduce pollution from ships

"The Next Generation Shipping Act is about investing in cleaner technologies... [and] making sure the United States leads in the future of maritime innovation, all while making sure we do so in a way that preserves public health," said Representative Barragán. "By acting now, we can protect our communities, strengthen our economy, and build a more sustainable shipping industry for generations to come."

"By advancing zero‑emission vessels, modernising port infrastructure, and strengthening domestic shipbuilding, this legislation charts a cleaner, smarter course for the shipping industry," added Representative Carter.
