原文標題:Biden confronts consolidation, unfair pricing in container shipping

原文內容:The Biden administration has issued a new executive order tackling the consolidation in the container shipping industry as well as anti-competitive pricing, among others.
Over the past few years, the container shipping industry consolidated into a small number of giant foreign-owned lines and alliances, which can disadvantage American exporters, the White House statement reads.
In the Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy, President Joe Biden has encouraged the US Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) to “ensure vigorous enforcement against shippers charging American exporters exorbitant charges”.
Specifically, the order comes as the President wants to promote competition in the US economy and enable faster economic growth.
In the liner shipping sector, the global marketplace has rapidly consolidated. In 2000, the ten largest shipping companies controlled 12% of the market. Today, it is more than 80%, leaving domestic manufacturers who need to export goods at these large foreign companies’ mercy.
This has let powerful container shippers charge exporters exorbitant fees for the time their freight was sitting waiting to be loaded or unloaded. These fees, called “detention and demurrage charges,” can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
“I applaud President Biden for his leadership in calling “all hands on deck” to ensure fair competition across the supply chain,” Daniel B. Maffei, FMC Chairman, said following the signing ceremony for the executive order.
“In recent months, we have increased our scrutiny of the ocean carrier alliances to identify evidence of anticompetitive behavior regarding rates and capacity, and we will continue to do so as the COVID-19 and import surge crisis continues. We welcome the assistance and cooperation from other agencies, including the Department of Justice.“
“With regard to detention and demurrage charges, it remains a top priority of the agency to identify and take action against those who flout the Commission’s recent interpretive rule on reasonable regulations and practices. The President’s action today reinforces these efforts and indicates his prioritization of a fair and reliable supply-chain.“

拜登政府發布了一項新的行政命令,以解決集裝箱航運業的整合以及反競爭定價等問題。白宮聲明稱,過去幾年,集裝箱航運業合併為少數大型外資航運公司和聯盟,這可能使美國出口商處於不利地位。
在促進美國經濟競爭的行政命令中,喬拜登總統鼓勵美國聯邦海事委員會(FMC)“確保對向美國出口商收取過高費用的托運人採取有力執法”。
具體而言,該命令出台之際,總統希望促進美國經濟的競爭並實現更快的經濟增長。
在班輪運輸領域,全球市場迅速整合。2000年,十大航運公司控制了12%的市場。如今,這一比例已超過 80%,讓需要出口商品的國內製造商任由這些大型外國公司擺佈。
這讓強大的集裝箱托運人在他們的貨物等待裝卸時向出口商收取過高的費用。這些稱為“滯留費和滯期費”的費用加起來可能高達數十萬美元。
“我讚賞拜登總統在呼籲‘全員參與’以確保整個供應鏈的公平競爭方面發揮的領導作用,” FMC 主席Daniel B. Maffei在行政命令簽署儀式後表示。
“最近幾個月,我們加強了對海運承運人聯盟的審查,以查明有關運價和運力的反競爭行為的證據,隨著 COVID-19 和進口激增危機的繼續,我們將繼續這樣做。我們歡迎包括司法部在內的其他機構的協助與合作。“
“關於拘留和滯期費指控,識別那些無視委員會最近對合理法規和做法的解釋規則的人並採取行動,仍然是該機構的首要任務。總統今天的行動加強了這些努力,並表明他優先考慮公平可靠的供應鏈。“
心得/評論:這是最近日的消息,與之前的報導做對照,不難理解今天航運三雄最後的收場都是跌停鎖死,而明天過後……….
