Domestic & International Logistics – U.S.-Flag Vessel Shipping

The contract requires the arrangement of ocean transportation using exclusively U.S.-flag vessels in full compliance with the Buy American Act and the Jones Act, ensuring that all shipping services are provided by vessels that are U.S.-built, U.S.-owned, and U.S.-crewed. This obligation applies to both domestic and international movements of goods under this agreement, and any deviation from these requirements necessitates the formal filing of a waiver, which must be justified and approved when no suitable U.S.-flag vessel service is available.
