The US Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) is asking the top 20 shipping lines calling the United States to provide information on how they are complying with the new prohibitions on retaliation established by the country’s Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 (OSRA).
Added protections against retaliation were created through OSRA and became effective immediately upon the law’s enactment in June. The prohibitions apply to common carriers, marine terminal operators and ocean transportation intermediaries.
