Topic of the Week (2/10/23):

Sometimes it's good to stop and take a look at everything that's in motion. That's what we're doing today. It's the Captains Log - Hot Topics - and today we're taking inventory of what I'm watching at the FMC.

The Maritime Professorᵀᴹ presents By Land and By Sea - an attorney breaking down the week in supply chain

with Lauren Beagen (Founder of The Maritime Professorᵀᴹ and Squall Strategies)

Let's dive in...

1- We're still on final rule watch! The Federal Maritime Commission's Unreasonable Refusal to Deal or Negotiate with respect to Vessel Space Accommodations Final Rule was required (under OSRA 22) to be released December 16, 2022.

The FMC addressed this at their Commission meeting and they will be publishing a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking. We'll be on the lookout!
