The USG doesn't 'do' shipping. It <em>regulates</em> it. As most ships accessing US ports are not American ships, that's probably a good thing, to some extent anyway. The only ships the USG owns are those marked by USCG or USN insignia, as well as a few NOAA or similar crafts. Sorry, Dave... that's a step-removed too far.
