Trump administration waivers of Jones Act cabotage rules, first issued in March 2026 amid Iran-related energy disruptions and extended through November 15 with narrower product lists and case-by-case voyage approvals, have boosted Gulf-to-West Coast fuel shipments and lowered some costs. However, maritime unions, shipbuilders, and congressional leaders including House Speaker Mike Johnson have opposed broader relief, warning of damage to domestic shipbuilding capacity and U.S.-flagged fleets. No legislation for permanent repeal or statutory removal has advanced, and the administration has signaled continued support for the core 1920 law while using temporary national-defense authority. These factors underpin trader consensus that full removal of domestic shipping requirements is unlikely before year-end.

The Jones Act of 1920 requires that all goods transported by water between U.S. ports be carried by vessels which are built in the U.S., owned by U.S. citizens, flagged to the U.S., and manned by U.S. crews.
This market will resolve to “Yes” if the Jones Act is repealed, altered, or invalidated, or new legislation becomes law, such that any of the Jones Act domestic shipping restrictions to vessels which are built in the U.S., owned by U.S. citizens, flagged to the U.S., and manned by U.S. crews are fully removed by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
A removal of any of the listed domestic shipping requirements will count. For example, the removal of the domestic shipping requirements for ships to be built in and flagged to the U.S., without the removal of the requirements for those ships to be owned by U.S. citizens to be manned by U.S. crews, would count.
New legislation includes any congressional legislation or any executive order, proclamation, memorandum, or other legally-binding executive action which effectively removes one of the listed Jones Act requirements.
The primary resolution sources for this market will be official information from the U.S. government.
