1 - The Federal Maritime Commission is still working through three rulemakings. No new updates, but I came across the Caribbean Shipowners' Association/Central America Discussion Agreement comment filed in the Unreasonable Refusal to Deal rulemaking and it got me thinking.
2 - Congressmen Jake Auchincloss is back on our list - he sent a letter dated Dec 1 to the FMC urging the FMC to create a National Port Advisory Committee. This was supported by the National Association of Waterfront Employers (NAWE).
