The US Federal Maritime Commission will hold a closed meeting in Washington on April 13. High on the agenda will be the chronic congestion at US ports, allegedly caused by major carrier alliances.
Based on eyewitness statements as well as press reports, there is rising concern that the recently established mega-alliances (G6, CKYHE, Oceans 3, and 2M) have been the cause of severe shipping delays. There is a significant increase in the time it takes for a container to be released from the port complex after the vessel has docked. This can be traced back to the additional time it takes to move the container between terminals, each of which is operated by a different member of the alliance.
Commissioner Michael Khouri called for alliances to report to the Commission which measures each of them is taking in order to decrease congestion at U.S. ports.
