"This bill would be the first major update to federal law on global shipping since 1998 and aims to address the unfair playing field in which ocean shippers have been forced to operate."
"One solution NACD encourages this Committee to advance is the bipartisan Ocean Shipping Reform Act (H.R.4996), introduced by Representatives Garamendi (CA) and Johnson (SD)."
"The Ocean Shipping Reform Act... provides a mechanism in which the Federal Maritime Commission can operate to create a fair playing field."
"The committee takes this issue extremely seriously, and we will be looking for short-term and long-term solutions."
