🚢 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 Starting May 28, 2024, the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) has implemented significant changes that directly impact cargo owners. Here's a concise breakdown: 1. 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭: Ocean carriers will now send invoices directly to cargo owners or freight forwarders, bypassing the motor carrier. This means you'll receive billing information directly, streamlining the process. 2. 𝐋𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭: As a cargo owner, you're now liable for 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 charges. These fees apply when containers are not promptly moved from ports or facilities. Be proactive in managing these charges! 3. 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐰: You have a 30-day window to dispute any charges. If not contested within this period, you'll automatically be held responsible. Stay vigilant and review invoices promptly. 4. 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠: Charges become invalid if the invoice arrives later than 30 days. Keep track of timelines to avoid surprises. 🔍 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞: At Covered Logistics, we're committed to helping our customers navigate these changes. We specialize in providing the necessary documents to dispute charges effectively. If you have questions or need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out. Let's adapt together! 🌐 #CoveredLogistics #FMC #ShippingRegulations

Supreme Court Clarification: Separate Suits for Possession and Rent Arrears Allowed In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court in UNIWORLD LOGISTICS PVT LTD VS. INDEV LOGISTICS PVT LTD (SLP (CIVIL) D. NO. 14716 OF 2017) has clarified that a suit for recovery of possession is distinct from a suit for arrears of rent and damages. This means that a separate suit for arrears of rent and damages can be filed after a suit for possession without being barred by Order 2 Rule 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Key Takeaway: Order 2 Rule 2 CPC does not prevent filing separate suits for different causes of action, thus supporting the fragmentation of claims into appropriate legal actions. #SupremeCourt #LegalUpdate #CorporateLaw #Litigation #CPC #Order2Rule2

Lack of Transparency & Dispute Resolution - common challenges with demurrage and detention. The calculation of fees often lacks transparency, leading to disputes between carriers and shippers.

Additionally, the terms and conditions regarding these fees can vary widely between carriers and ports, further complicating the management process. Here's how the new FMC rules address this issue - https://ow.ly/lAbP50SeEWU #fees #transparency #disputeresolution #shipping #shipper #freight #logistics

The FMC is facing a surge of formal complaints and small claim cases, which is unprecedented for a small agency that has limited resources and staff. The agency has seen a sharp increase in caseload activity since the pandemic and the enactment of OSRA-22, which gave it more regulatory powers. Formal complaints are similar to lawsuits, where one party accuses another of violating US shipping statutes under the FMC's jurisdiction and a legal proceeding is conducted by one of the FMC's three administrative law judges. It is unclear whether the high level of activity involving the FMC will persist as a sign of how shippers now use the agency after OSRA-22, or if it was just a temporary spike of frustrations caused by pandemic-related supply chain disruptions. Shippers will keep seeking the FMC's help until it publishes its rulemaking required by OSRA-22. A final rule on detention and demurrage was supposed to be published in mid-June; FMC General Counsel Phillip Hughey, at a meeting of the agency Thursday, said the final draft is "almost done." Since the interim charge complaint process started, the FMC says it has received 402 complaints, 167 of which qualified for investigation. So far, 43 of those investigations have been finished, 36 were found to be not in compliance with the charge complaint process and 20 are still under investigation. Carriers voluntarily settled 104 cases with either refunds or waived fees, mainly regarding detention and demurrage charges. The charge complaint process has resulted in common carriers refunding or waiving $1.7 million to customers in the last 14 months. The commission plans to initiate a rulemaking process for a permanent charge complaint mechanism later this year. #freightforwarders ##carriers #FMC #USshipping #shippers #Oceancarriers
