Summary
The Federal Maritime Commission has hit pause on a big shipping agreement update involving major global shipping companies. They’ve asked for more info before the changes can go live, giving everyone 15 days to share their thoughts. This means the update won’t happen as planned, so businesses should watch for new timelines and possible impacts on shipping costs or schedules.

Shipping Agreement Amendment Paused
The Federal Maritime Commission has asked parties to Agreement No. 201349-007 for additional information under 46 U.S.C. 40304(d), which prevents the agreement amendment from becoming effective as originally scheduled. The agreement involves listed ocean carriers such as COSCO, Maersk, MSC, Hapag-Lloyd, and others. Interested parties may submit comments or documents by email or mail within fifteen (15) days after the notice was published in the Federal Register.
