The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission will launch a website soon that will serve as a clearinghouse for port congestion surcharges, following industry confusion over planned U.S. West Coast surcharges, Commissioner Michael A. Khouri said Tuesday.
“The commission is gathering information from the carriers to compare announcements and actual tariff language to ensure there is consistency between language and implementation,” Khouri said at JOC Group’s 2nd Annual Port Performance Conference-North America in Newark, New Jersey.
