TGA Calls for Action Now to End Shipping Crisis As TGA-Supported Legislation Gains Momentum

TGA

The TGA-endorsed Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2021 (OSRA 21) (H.R. 4996) continues to gain momentum with now 10 bipartisan co-sponsors. The bill would require the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) to establish and enforce rules on minimum service requirements for ocean carriers, respond to contract breaches, and address excessive and unjust detention and demurrage fees — rules that would help prevent the next shipping crisis. However, TGA still needs you and your colleagues, your employees, your family, everyone, to join TGA in urging President Biden and your members of Congress to ACT NOW to end the current #ShippingCrisis.
