Rob Quartel announced his resignation as president of the Jones Act Reform Coalition, the lobbying group that seeks modifications in maritime laws that require domestic waterborne cargo to be transported in U.S.-owned, -built and -crewed ships. He said he was leaving to pursue other unspecified opportunities. No new head of the Jones Act Reform Coalition has been announced, but it is expected that the group will continue to work to reform the Jones Act during this session of Congress.
