| 摘要： | The Coast Guard has begun the early steps of replacing its aging fleet of buoy tenders that service aids to navigation in federal inland waterways. The current fleet of 35 river buoy tenders, inland construction tenders and inland buoy tenders will be replaced by 30 waterways commerce cutters (WCC). Newport News Shipbuilding announced in late February that it was laying off 314 salaried shipbuilders and demoting 119 managers. "Today is a tough day as we say goodbye to 314 fellow shipbuilders as part of a layoff impacting our salaried workforce," Jennifer Boykin, the Virginia-based shipyard's president, wrote in a Face-book post. "This is the first workforce reduction we've experienced in five years and comes after a thorough assessment of our business." Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, is seeking a temporary workaround of U.S. maritime law, and a House committee wants Canada to compromise on its extended ban on cruises which is hurting businesses from coast to coast. Young has introduced the "Alaska Tourism Recovery Act" (H.R. 1318) that would provide relief for foreign-flag cruise ships traveling between Washington state and Alaska by designating roundtrip cruises as foreign voyages. |
