Federal Maritime Commission’s Report on Investigation Still Not Released

The Federal Maritime Commission’s report about its investigation on the shipping practices of container shipping companies is already finished. However, the information from Commissioner Rebecca Dye’s report hasn’t been released.

The investigation was launched in March when U.S. importers, including furniture importers, continue to have difficulty finding space on container ships to load their products from China to the U.S. This problem continues to be a problem now even though the worst of it was expected during the Chinese New Year in February.

The final report about the investigation will be due on July 15.

The Fact Finding Investigation is extended to November 30, 2010. This will allow the Commission to continue the investigation through the peak shipping season and to fully develop additional solutions. The interview process also will continue during this time.
