The BCR was built to move seafood so companies could say they met the Canadian rail exception of the Jones Act, Zimmerman wrote in the release. Investigators said the companies violated the Jones Act because the BCR didn’t meet the Canadian rail exception. U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued multiple penalty notices to Kloosterboer and other companies.
