-- 据Axios周二报道,美国总统特朗普可能寻求延长一项海事法的暂停期限。该法案允许外国建造、悬挂外国国旗的船舶在美国港口之间运输石油。美国政府称,这项措施在伊朗战争期间限制了燃油价格的上涨。 Axios指出,这项名为《琼斯法案》的法规于1920年颁布,由于符合条件的船队数量相当短缺,导致美国港口之间运输石油和其他货物的成本上升。特朗普于3月18日暂停了该法案60天。 鉴于该法案会隔离美国船运商的市场并减少竞争,任何延长暂停期限的做法都可能引发争议。 Axios称,自暂停实施以来,已有40艘油轮能够在包括加利福尼亚州、德克萨斯州、佛罗里达州和阿拉斯加州在内的港口之间运输石油,使可用船舶数量增加了70%,并降低了成本。 Axios援引政府官员的话报道称,自豁免生效以来,悬挂外国国旗的船舶已在美国港口之间运输了900万桶石油,其中相当一部分航空燃油运往阿拉斯加。 文章援引了保守派智库哈德逊研究所的一项分析,该分析称暂停进口可能“损害”数万美国工人的利益,并危及数十亿美元投资于国内航运和造船业的回报。 然而,自由意志主义智库卡托研究所则表示,该法律已经过时且负担沉重,但却已实施了一个世纪之久。 特朗普的一位顾问告诉Axios新闻网,只要伊朗战争持续并导致燃油价格居高不下,总统就希望维持这项豁免。 文章称,白宫发言人泰勒·罗杰斯表示,尚未就延长豁免做出任何决定,但政府已指出,该豁免加快了交付速度并降低了成本。已联系白宫寻求置评。 (市场闲谈新闻来源于与全球市场专业人士的对话。这些信息被认为是来自可靠来源,但可能包含传闻和猜测。准确性无法保证。)
