to have denied entry to the Maersk

Call to Ship Carrying Arms to Israel, 

The Guardian, May 16, 2024 (available 

at https://www.theguardian.com/world/ 

article/2024/may/16/spain-denies-portof-call-to-ship-carrying-arms-to-israel) 

(last accessed November 20, 2024). 

MARAD’s MSP maintains a fleet of 

commercially viable, militarily useful 

merchant ships active in international 

trade. The MSP fleet is available to 

support U.S. Department of Defense 

(DoD) sustainment sealift requirements 

during times of conflict or in other 

national emergencies. The program also 

provides DoD access to MSP 

participants’ global intermodal 

transportation network of terminals, 

facilities, logistic management services, 

and U.S. citizen merchant mariners. 

The Commission’s statutory purposes 

include ensuring an efficient, 

competitive, and economical 

transportation system in the United 

States, encouraging the development of 

an economically sound and efficient 

liner fleet capable of meeting national 

security needs and supporting 

commerce, and promoting the growth 

and development of United States 

exports through competitive and 

efficient carriage of goods by water. 46 

U.S.C. 40101. A law or policy by a 

foreign government that refuses entry to 

vessels documented under the laws of 

the United States is inconsistent with 

the Commission’s goal of ensuring 

access to and supporting the complex 

and interdependent system for the 

common carriage of goods by water in 

foreign commerce. The Commission has 

therefore determined that it will 

investigate the apparent decision by 

Spain to deny entry to vessels 

participating in MARAD’s MSP, as well 

as its apparent decision to deny entry to 

other vessels. 

At this initial stage of the 

investigation, the Commission will 

focus on providing a route for interested 

parties, including the Government of 

Spain and common carriers that have 

been denied entry into Spanish ports, to 

provide information, perspectives, and 

proposed solutions. 

III. Investigation and Initial Request for 

Comments 

The Commission has determined that 

the above situation meets the threshold 

requirements for consideration under 

the relevant statutory and regulatory 

authority. See 46 U.S.C. 42101; 46 CFR 

part 550. The Commission therefore 

initiates an investigation into whether 

the situation has created conditions that 

are unfavorable to shipping in foreign 

trade, whether in a particular trade or 

on a particular route or in commerce 

generally. See 46 U.S.C. 42101(a); 46 

CFR 550.301. To that end, the 

Commission has designated the General 

Counsel to lead an investigation into the 

conditions and to prepare a report on 

the investigation’s findings and 

recommendations for Commission 

consideration. The Commission has 

further determined to ask interested 

persons to submit written comments 

containing arguments, experiences, and/ 

or data relevant to denials of entry into 

Spanish ports. In particular, the 

Commission seeks information about 

when this has occurred, the vessels that 

have been denied entry, and any reason 

or reasons given for the denial. 

The Commission’s jurisdiction under 

46 U.S.C. 42101 is broad, and the 

agency welcomes comments not only 

from the Government of Spain, but also 

from container shipping interests, vessel 

owners, individuals and groups with 

relevant information on commercial 

considerations, and anyone else with 

relevant information or perspectives on 

this matter. 

As the Commission proceeds with 

this investigation, it may determine to 

request additional comment or gather 

information through other means as 

authorized under 46 U.S.C. 40104 and 

42104, and 46 CFR part 550. 

By the Commission.
