Abstract

The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC or Commission) is issuing regulations to implement the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022’s prohibition against unreasonable refusals of cargo space accommodations when available and unreasonable refusals to deal or negotiate with respect to vessel space accommodations by ocean common carriers. The final rule adopts with changes the supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking published on June 14, 2023. The rule establishes the necessary elements for the FMC to apply Federal law with respect to refusals of cargo space accommodations when available. It also establishes the necessary elements for the FMC to apply Federal law with respect to refusals of vessel space accommodations. The rule applies to complaints brought before the FMC by a private party, as well as enforcement cases brought by the Commission.
