Allied Partnership and Port Modernization Act

This bill would change federal shipping law to allow certain foreign vessels to perform dredging in U.S. navigable waters. To qualify, a vessel must be documented under the laws of a NATO member country, built by a NATO member or a major non-NATO ally, and mostly owned and operated by companies incorporated in NATO member countries. The bill would also remove dredged material from a federal law that limits how certain materials may be transported between U.S. points.
