The US Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) has begun an inquiry into how ocean carriers assess fees, such as detention and demurrage, and whether they are incorrectly holding other transportation providers liable for penalties that should be paid by beneficial cargo owners (BCOs). Now at the beginning of the process, any interested party is invited to submit comments to the FMC. The deadline to submit comments for the inquiry is Nov. 6.
