Drayage truckers and shippers are strongly opposing a request by container ship operators to postpone a recent rule regulating container billing, warning that such a delay would disrupt the supply chain. The Ocean Carrier Equipment Management Association (OCEMA) asked the Federal Maritime Commission to extend the effective date of the rule by 90 days due to a correction made after the rule was issued. Industry stakeholders, including shippers and brokers, argue against delaying the rule, emphasizing the importance of maintaining clarity and consensus in supply chain processes.
