Noncontiguous Shipping Reasonable Rate Act of 2023
This bill provides that a rate for service in noncontiguous domestic ocean trade is reasonable if such rate is within 10% of a rate set by a comparable international ocean rate index recognized by the Federal Maritime Commission. (Under current law, a rate is required to be reasonable, and the Surface Transportation Board generally has the authority to determine whether certain rates are reasonable.)
Referred to the Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation.
