The US Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) has reorganised its investigative and prosecution functions, consolidating them into the newly created Bureau of Enforcement, Investigations and Compliance (BEIC) effective immediately.
The BEIC will be headed by an attorney in the senior executive service with regulatory, prosecutorial and investigatory experience. The FMC’s managing director, Lucille Marvin, will serve as the bureau’s acting director until a permanent director is hired.
