The Federal Maritime Commission has announced the filing of two shipping agreements under the Shipping Act of 1984. One agreement is between Hapag-Lloyd AG and Maersk A/S, allowing them to exchange space on specific services between the U.S. East Coast and ports in several countries including the UK and Germany. The second agreement involves an amendment to extend the termination date of a contract between the International Longshoremen’s Association and the United States Maritime Alliance. Interested parties can submit comments about these agreements through the Commission's website or contact their office directly.
