In a move to tackle the escalating issue of exorbitant international shipping charges, a House leader is spearheading House Bill 10507, also known as the International Maritime Trade Competitiveness Act.
The bill garnered support from importers, exporters, and logistics service providers, who have long voiced concerns about the unchecked rise in shipping costs. A key provision of the bill is the expansion of the Maritime Industry Authority’s mandate to regulate and monitor international shipping charges.
During a meeting last August 12, prominent industry figures voiced their support for the bill, underscoring the necessity for government intervention to address the issue of unreasonable shipping charges.
