Plain-English Summary

This bill would require or encourage ocean-going ships to use renewable fuels instead of traditional petroleum-based fuels, aiming to reduce pollution from international shipping. The change would affect shipping companies and cargo transporters that operate large vessels, potentially increasing their fuel costs but lowering their environmental impact. The goal is to make the shipping industry cleaner and help the U.S. meet climate and air quality goals.
