At present, the United States has taken action. The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) of the United States plans to audit the top nine container shipping companies operating in the U.S. market to find out whether they are using their market power to charge excessive container demurrage and port demurrage fees from shippers. It will also provide additional information that will help regularly monitor the maritime service market.
