FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION 

International Ocean Transportation 

Supply Chain Engagement; Order 

Pursuant to the Shipping Act of 1984, 

46 U.S.C. 40101 et seq. (Shipping Act), 

the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC 

or Commission) regulates the U.S. 

international ocean transportation 

system that supports the transportation 

of goods by water. The purposes of the 

Shipping Act include the requirements 

to ‘‘provide an efficient and economic 

transportation system in the ocean 

commerce of the United States that is, 

insofar as possible, in harmony with, 

and responsive to, international 

shipping practices,’’ and also ‘‘to 

promote the growth and development of 

United States exports through 

competitive and efficient ocean 

transportation and by placing a greater 

reliance on the marketplace.’’ 

In carrying out its broad 

responsibilities under the Shipping Act 

with respect to ocean common carriers, 

U.S. ports, marine terminal operators, 

ocean transportation intermediaries and 

the American exporters and importers 

they serve, the Commission has 

developed an understanding of and an 

expertise in evaluating the U.S. 

international supply chain. As the 

premier competition agency with 

oversight responsibilities for the United 

States foreign ocean transportation 

system, the Commission has extensive 

experience with global maritime and 

marine terminal innovation and 

efficiency issues. 

Maintaining the effectiveness and 

reliability of America’s global supply 

chain is critically important to the 

Nation’s continued economic vitality. 

Approximately $980 billion of 

containerized ocean commerce moves 

through U.S. ports annually. 

Unfortunately, congestion and related 

bottlenecks at ports and other points in 

the Nation’s supply chain have become 

a serious risk to the growth of the U.S. 

economy, job growth, and to our 

Nation’s competitive position in the 

world. Past congestion at major U.S. 

ports has highlighted the impact of 

congestion on the U.S. economy. As a 

result, the U.S. economy suffered 

billions of dollars in losses to the supply 

chain. 

In addition, congestion problems 

contributed to hundreds of millions of 

dollars in losses for U.S. agricultural 

exporters including poultry and meat 

farmers. Perishable fruit and vegetable 

exporters suffered when their cargo was 

not loaded onto ships and sent overseas 

within specific time frames. 

Although the congestion crisis has 

receded, unresolved supply chain 

problems that could produce new 

challenges remain. 

In response to those events, and the 

desire of affected parties to find ways to 

prevent or mitigate similar future 

occurrences, the Commission hosted 

four regional port forums during the fall 

of 2014, in San Pedro, CA (West Coast 

Port Forum), Baltimore, MD (MidAtlantic and Northeast Port Forum), 

Charleston, SC (South Atlantic Port 

Forum) and New Orleans, LA (Gulf 

Coast Port Forum). The forums brought 

together port officials, ocean carriers, 

trucking and warehousing service 

providers, beneficial cargo owners, 

marine terminal operators, stevedoring 

companies, ocean transportation 

intermediaries, and port labor to discuss 

and offer ideas to address port 

congestion. The comments and 

suggestions offered at those forums were 

summarized and developed in an FMC 

report entitled ‘‘U.S. Port Congestion & 

Related International Supply Chain 

Issues: Causes, Consequences and 

Challenges’’ that was released in July 

2015. 

The report identified six major themes 

from the port forums: Investment and 

planning; chassis availability and 

related issues; port drayage and truck 

turn times; extended gate hours, 

PierPASS, and congestion pricing; 

vessel and terminal operations; and 

supply chain planning, collaboration, 

and communication. Some of these 

topics involve longer-term issues such 

as investment and planning. Others 

focus on short and medium-term 

concerns. All of them, however, are at 

the heart of current efforts by various 

groups to develop the flexible, resilient 

and reliable systems necessary for 

ensuring well-functioning international 

supply chains. 

The Commission has also advanced 

port and marine terminal efforts to 

improve supply chain efficiency by 

expediting the implementation of port 

and terminal amendments aimed at 

enhancing the efficient flow of cargo. 

For example, several port and marine 

terminal operator agreements on file 

with the Commission that cover the 

Pacific Coast ports, commit the parties 

to exploring measures for achieving 

improvements with regard to 

congestion, efficiency, fluidity, and 

other operational conditions.* 

Given the economic importance of 

reliable port and terminal operations to 

the effectiveness of the United States 

international supply chain, and the 

Commission’s mandate to ensure an 

efficient and economic transportation 

system for its ocean commerce, the 

Commission has a clear and compelling

responsibility to actively assist efforts to 

improve the effectiveness of the global 

supply chain. 

Therefore it is ordered, That, pursuant 

to 46 U.S.C. 41302, 40302, 41101 to 

41109, 41301 to 41309, and 40104, and 

46 CFR 502.281 et seq., Commissioner 

Rebecca F. Dye engage supply chain 

stakeholders in public or non-public 

discussions to identify commercial 

solutions to certain unresolved supply 

chain issues that interfere with the 

smooth operation of the U.S. 

international supply chain, focusing on 

the San Pedro Bay ports at Los Angeles 

and Long Beach. 

It is further ordered, That, the 

Commissioner form a supply chain 

innovation team, composed of leaders 

from all commercial sectors of the U.S. 

international supply chain, to develop 

commercial solutions to port congestion 

and related supply chain challenges. 

It is further ordered, That, the 

Commissioner provide a preliminary 

report and periodic updates to the 

Commission on the results of efforts 

undertaken by this Order. 

It is further ordered, That, the 

Commissioner have full authority under 

46 CFR 502.281 to 502.291, to perform 

such duties as may be necessary in 

accordance with U.S. law and 

Commission regulations. The 

Commissioner will be assisted by staff 

members as may be assigned by the 

Chairman. 

It is further ordered, That, this 

Proceeding be discontinued upon the 

acceptance of a final report and possible 

recommendations by the Commissioner, 

unless otherwise ordered by the 

Commission; and 

It is finally ordered, That, notice of 

this Order be published in the Federal 

Register. 

By The Commission.
