Ringing in 2024, the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) issued
a final rule that made several significant changes to the rules
applicable to automated tariffs filed by ocean carriers. The first
FMC rule of 2024 may indicate that the FMC will take additional
steps over the course of the year to implement additional
provisions of the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 (OSRA),
which is the most significant change in US shipping legislation
since 1998.
