> Oceangoing, Self‐Propelled Vessels of 1,000 Gross Tons and Above that Carry Cargo from Port to Port
Okay, yeah, I believe there are that few vessels of that type and size. There are many more types of vessels. I operate a tugboat company. We have 4 Jones Act tugboats that move barges of cargo 500-2,000 tons at time (other tugs move much bigger barges). There are many more of these kinds of vessels. Claiming that there are only 100 is misleading.
More to the point of the article, lots of petroleum is moved on barges, not on self-propelled cargo vessels.
