“I can think of no less expensive, more impactful action for these United States than the elimination of the shortsea leg
- f the Harbor Maintenance Tax (HMT). In simple terms, no
- ne in their right mind is going to pay that tax twice to move
a cargo domestically by water….. And, the beauty of all of that is that it doesn’t cost us a penny to repeal the shortsea HMT, because we are getting next to nothing in terms of financial reward from it in the first place.
