Frequently Asked Questions
Q:

What kind of drilling rigs are covered by the Jones Act?

A:

The Jones Act provides coverage to all people who are employed aboard floating vessels. A fixed production platform is not a floating vessel and is therefore not covered. However, lay barges, jackups, semi-submersibles, and drill ships are all vessels for purposes of the Jones Act.
