The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) has established a webpage dedicated to its actions and activities related to the implementation of the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 (OSRA). This webpage provides links to key OSRA documents including rulemakings, Industry Advisories, and press releases.

“OSRA 2022 is now law and the Federal Maritime Commission intends to act expeditiously to implement both the letter and the spirit of the Act. Establishing a resource where the public can easily and quickly see all relevant materials related to OSRA implementation is critical to keeping all interested constituencies informed of progress the Commission is making in meeting the mandates established by the Congress and the President,” said Chairman Daniel B. Maffei.

OSRA is the first major update to ocean shipping regulations since 1998. IWLA advocated for the bill’s passage through Congress and will continue to provide regulatory updates and other relevant information about the OSRA to IWLA members.
