- 摘要
- 白宫官员称，新条款要求对单次航行进行逐案审查
- 该豁免权若不延长，将于8月16日到期
- 美国数据显示，近5个月来共有约208项琼斯法案豁免获批
8月10日（路透社）——白宫表示，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普已将允许外国籍船舶在美国港口之间运输石油及其他大宗商品的豁免权延长90天，但在造船商及其国会盟友辩称该政策正在损害国内海运业后，增设了新的限制条款。
本次延期于周一最终敲定，正值美伊冲突扰乱全球原油供应、推高燃料成本之际，这给拜登政府带来了更大压力，要求其设法缓解运输瓶颈、防止汽油及其他能源价格进一步上涨。

白宫发言人泰勒·罗杰斯周一表示，此次90天的延期将确保美国军方和关键行业能够不间断地获取关键资源。
“数据显示，该豁免权显著增加了汽油、柴油和航空燃油等 essential 产品的国内运输量，”罗杰斯在社交媒体平台X的一篇帖子中说道。
据一位白宫官员证实，根据新条款，政府已经缩小了这项救济政策的适用范围，要求对单次航行进行逐案审查，不再允许外国船舶 blanket 豁免琼斯法案。

琼斯法案规定，在美国港口之间运输的货物必须使用在美国建造、由美国公司拥有并由美国船员操作的船舶，而该豁免权旨在通过提高运输灵活性、减少运输瓶颈来降低汽油价格。
若不延长，该豁免权将于8月16日到期。这是这部已有百余年历史的法案有史以来最长时间的暂停实施。
美国石油协会（API）等行业贸易组织表示，针对性的琼斯法案豁免为在美国港口之间高效运输美国能源、在全球市场持续波动期间向消费者输送燃料提供了关键灵活性。
“这一果断举措将确保关键燃料送达最需要的地区，同时在全球市场持续动荡之际增强美国的韧性，”政府关系高级副总裁克里斯汀·惠特曼说道，她补充道，该豁免权将加强供应安全，帮助消费者免受不必要的价格波动影响。

尽管琼斯法案豁免权增加了用于运输燃料的油轮供应量，但一些分析师和行业专家表示，这可能只会让每加仑汽油价格降低几分钱。
美国政府数据显示，截至8月3日的约4个半月时间里，共获批约208项琼斯法案豁免。

- Summary
- New terms require case-by-case review of individual voyages, White House official says
- Waiver was due to expire on August 16 without extension
- About 208 Jones Act exemptions were used in nearly 5 months, US data showed
Aug 10 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump has extended for 90 days a waiver allowing foreign-flagged ships to transport oil and other commodities between U.S. ports, but imposed new limits after shipbuilders and their allies in Congress argued the policy was undermining the domestic maritime industry, the White House said.
The extension, finalized on Monday, comes as the war with Iran disrupts global crude flows and pushes up fuel costs, increasing pressure on the administration to find ways to ease transportation bottlenecks and keep gasoline and other energy prices from rising further.

The 90-day extension ensures the U.S. military and key industries maintain uninterrupted access to critical resources, White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said on Monday.
“Data shows the waiver has driven a significant increase in domestic deliveries of essential products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel,” Rogers said in a post on the social media platform X.
Under the new terms, the administration has narrowed the scope of the relief, requiring individual voyages to undergo case-by-case review rather than allowing foreign ships to receive blanket exemptions from the Jones Act, a White House official confirmed.

The Jones Act requires cargo moving between U.S. ports to be carried on ships built in the U.S., owned by U.S. companies and crewed by American workers, and the waiver aims to lower gas prices by increasing shipping flexibility and reducing transport bottlenecks.
The waiver was set to expire on August 16 without the extension. It is the longest suspension of the more than a century-old law in its history.
Targeted Jones Act waivers provide critical flexibility to move American energy efficiently between U.S. ports and deliver fuels to consumers at a time of ongoing global market volatility, industry trade group The American Petroleum Institute (API) said.
“This decisive step will ensure critical fuels reach the regions that need them most while reinforcing America’s resilience amid ongoing global market disruptions,” Senior Vice President of Government Relations Kristin Whitman, adding that the waiver would strengthen supply security and help protect consumers from unnecessary price volatility.

While the Jones Act waiver increases the availability of tankers to move fuel, it would likely only reduce gasoline prices by pennies per gallon, some analysts and industry experts have said.
About 208 exemptions to the Jones Act were granted in about 4-1/2 months through August 3, U.S. government data showed.
