（路透社4月21日电）——美国工会和造船行业雇主周二发起成立一个联合组织，游说国会推进相关立法，他们表示这将帮助唐纳德·特朗普总统实现国内造船厂复兴的愿景。
中国造船业已跃居美国之上，而美国曾是全球造船业强国。去年提出的《美国船舶法案》获得两党支持，旨在扩大美国建造并悬挂美国国旗的船队规模，培训驾驶这些船只的海员，并为美国造船活动提供资金。

“振兴这一关键产业对于保护我们的国家安全、创造就业岗位和推动经济增长至关重要，”新成立的美国造船联盟主席迈克尔·韦塞尔说道。
此次游说活动展开之际，《船舶法案》因资金、监管和合规方面的不确定性陷入停滞。
韦塞尔所在的游说公司协助协调了工会要求下、依据1974年《贸易法案》第301条发起的美国贸易代表办公室调查，该调查认定中国利用不公平政策和做法主导海事领域。
这一调查结果为针对中国的港口费和关税扫清了道路，这些税费曾在中国报复后被暂停征收。这些费用以及针对外国船只的其他吨位税，正是《船舶法案》计划依赖的收入来源，用于推动国内造船业复兴。
该联合组织的一名代表表示，其成员包括近十二个工会、相关企业和造船厂。该组织拒绝透露成员名单。

April 21 (Reuters) – U.S. unions and shipbuilding industry employers on Tuesday launched a coalition to rally Congress to advance legislation they say would help President Donald Trump achieve his vision for a domestic shipyard renaissance.
China’s shipbuilding has leapfrogged the U.S., which was once a global powerhouse. The SHIPS for America Act introduced last year enjoys bipartisan support and aims to expand the fleet of U.S.-built and flagged vessels, train mariners to sail them and to fund U.S. shipbuilding activity.

“Revitalizing this critical industry is paramount to protecting our national security, creating jobs, and growing our economy,” said Michael Wessel, president of the new USA Shipbuilding Coalition.
The lobbying effort comes as the SHIPS Act legislation appears stalled amid funding, regulatory and compliance uncertainty.
Wessel’s lobbying firm helped coordinate a union-requested U.S. Trade Representative investigation under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 that found China uses unfair policies and practices to dominate the maritime sector.
That finding cleared the way for port fees and tariffs on China that were put on hold after China retaliated. Those fees, along with other tonnage taxes on foreign vessels, are among the revenue streams the SHIPS Act would rely on to fund a planned domestic shipbuilding renaissance.
A representative for the coalition said it includes nearly a dozen unions, related companies and shipyards. The group declined to share a list of its members.
