“Retailers rely on global maritime shipping to deliver products for American consumers every day. Though apt at navigating myriad supply chain challenges, retailers welcome the Ocean Shipping Reform Implementation Act to address long-standing issues in the ocean shipping industry, untangle supply chain congestion, and remove barriers to the movement of goods.
“We appreciate the House prioritizing this legislation and encourage the Senate to follow suit, recognizing its importance in strengthening U.S. supply chains.”
