Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impacts of the Jones Act on the Alaska Forest Products Trade Alaska forest products trade flows for 1982 were studied to determine the effects of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 (the Jones Act). Information was collected from timber producers, forest product industries, and waterborne shippers in Alaska, British Columbia, and the Pacific Northwest. Trade flows were simulated, using a partial equilibrium model based on resource rents, with and without the Jones Act restrictions. Results indicate that million in additional costs were incurred in 1982 because of the Jones Act. These effects appeared small, however, relative to the wholesale value of trade. Further, the Jones Act cost differential was not a major factor in market determination, although low-value products and longer trade routes were more sensitive to cost changes. Primary movements of logs and chips and lumber imports from the Pacific Northwest showed the greatest potential for cost savings after relaxing the Jones Act.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO examined the effects of the Jones Act on Alaska trade to determine the: (1) economic costs of the act's requirement that only U.S. vessels carry cargo between points in the United States; and (2) impact of this requirement on achieving national defense objectives. GAO found that: (1) the requirement increased annual transportation costs in Alaskan trade by about $163 million; (2) a new crude oil pipeline from California to Alaska could reduce the need for tanker transportation; and (3) the increased costs for Alaskan oil reduced Alaskan royalties and severance taxes by $37 million per year. GAO also found that: (1) U.S. military strategy relied heavily on the use of U.S.-flag ships to move military supplies abroad in case of war; (2) the U.S.-flag fleet declined from 1,050 ships in 1950 to 365 in 1987; (3) the number of positions for U.S. merchant mariners declined from 56,629 in 1950 to 10,376 in 1987; (4) although admitting foreign-built ships to Alaskan trade would probably not change the number of U.S.-flag ships in that trade, it might reduce the number of positions for U.S. merchant mariners; and (5) replacing existing ships with foreign ships would reduce the shipyard mobilization base.
