How the Ocean Shipping Reform Act Will Affect the Global Supply Chain

The webinar focuses on the U.S. Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 signed into law by President Biden on June 16, 2022 - the first major U.S.-ocean shipping regulatory legislation in decades. Prompted by international supply chain issues, OSRA contains a number of provisions affecting common carriers in U.S. international trade. The law was criticized when it was considered as not addressing the real issues affecting the international supply chain. Much has been left to the discretion of the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission. The webinar explores how OSRA will work in practice and what to expect in terms of changes affecting international carriers.
