FMC onboard for Biden’s ocean carrier ‘crackdown’
Industry consolidation is exacerbating pricing surges in container markets,
according to Chairman Maffei

Federal Maritime Commission Chairman Daniel Maffei has welcomed a White House
executive order calling on the Justice Department to help the FMC investigate
and potentially fine ocean carriers charging shippers unreasonable rates and
fees.
有關海運業者對托運業者收取過高的費率和費用一事，
FMC主席Daniel Maffei歡迎白宮要求司法部協助FMC進行調查，並可能罰款。
President Joe Biden’s executive order, scheduled to be announced on
Thursday, also urges the Surface Transportation Board to allow shippers to
challenge inflated rates more easily when there’s no competition between
routes.
拜登星期四預計發布行政命令。籲請STB(地上交通運輸委員會)讓託運人
能更容易挑戰高漲的費率，而這整個路線是缺乏競爭的。

“A lot of American companies rely on railroads to ship their goods
domestically and ocean carriers to ship their goods internationally. Both
these industries have grown more concentrated over time,” said White House
Press Secretary Jen Psaki at a press conference on Thursday.
白宮發言人在記者會上說
許多美國公司在國內倚賴鐵路送貨，而海運業者再把他們的貨送到世界各地
而不論是鐵路或海運，兩者隨著時間都變得更集中了
Psaki added that three global ocean carrier alliances now control more than
80% of the container market. “That concentration has contributed to a spike
in shipping costs and fees during the pandemic. The executive order calls on
the Federal Maritime Commission to crack down on unjust and unreasonable fees
and work with the Justice Department to investigate and punish
anticompetitive conduct.”
她補充：
目前有三大海運聯盟掌握著80%以上的貨櫃市場
這種集中導致了肺炎流行期間運輸成本和費用的驟升
這個行政命令呼籲聯邦海事委員會與司法部合作，打擊不公與不合理的費用，
針對壟斷行為進行調查與處罰
In responding to the order, Maffei said that because the FMC is an
independent agency, it technically is not subject to presidential executive
orders. “However, I very much intend to cooperate with it,” he told
FreightWaves, citing the agency’s ongoing investigation into ocean shipping
practices. “The President is saying all hands on deck, which we appreciate.”
針對這個行政命令進行回應
Daniel Maffei說
「雖然FMC是個獨立機關，技術上(法律上)不受總統行政命令的管束
但我非常願意配合這個行政命令」
他引用FMC針對海運實況正在進行的調查，並告訴本報
「拜宗痛說所有人都在同一條船上，我們覺得他說得好棒棒~」
Excessive fees charged to U.S. importers and exporters for failing to
expeditiously move containers off docks and container terminals – known as
detention and demurrage – “is a huge issue we’re working on and it’s
important to get to the bottom of it because it’s unfair to shippers,”
Maffei said. “If those practices are abused it tends to decrease capacity,
which makes things worse.”
