It would also be most encouraging
if the principle of free and open trade
is in the future to be applied by the
Acting Chairman of the FMCin the
context of the Jones Act, one of the
most restrictive pieces of protective
legislation concerning shipping in the
free world.
Richard G. Tallboys gives his thoughts on free trade
Consul General gives British
view of U. S. trade regulations
Editor’s Note: The following article was
submitted by Richard G. Tallboys, Consul
General of the United Kingdomin Houston, in
responseto a speechby Leslie Kanuk, former
acting chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission. Mrs. Kanukhas since left the FMCbut
her departure did not affect the situation which
Mr. Tallboys so ably discusses.
I was interested to read in the June
edition of the Port of Houston
Magazine the remarks made by the
Acting Chairman of the Federal
Maritime Commission regarding the
proposed UNCTADCode of Liner
Conduct.
I am greatly encouraged to see
Leslie Kanuk’s remarks that the principle of free and open trade has been
the foundation of the United States’
shipping policy through out its
history. I imagine that the United
Kingdomwould not be the only major maritime nation that would be
happy to see the principle applied
more widely in practice. At present
the Federal Maritime Commission
itself operates a detailed system of
shipping regulations which has no
parallel amongother free-world
maritime nations.
TO THEextent that such regulation affects only practices within U.S.
territory then it is not for a foreign
August, 1981
diplomat to comment.But it is a fact
that the FMCregulations have a
direct bearing on international trade
and on the operations of non-U.S.
ships.
Tariffs have to be filed with the
FMC, and agreements between shipping companies (such as conference
agreements) must be approved by the
FMC.Any activities beyond the scope
of FMC-approved agreements can
result in exposure not only to Shipping Act penalties but also to the
penalties of the anti-trust laws.
In contrast the U.K., like other ma-.
jor maritime nations, does not seek to
regulate the industry and exempts it
from domestic competition law.
WITHTHE like-minded
member
governments (12 European countries
and Japan) of the Consultative Shipping Group (CSG) the U.K. has protested against U.S. unilateral regulation of international trade, and seeks
through dialogue with U.S. government agencies to ease the regulatory
burden both in particular cases and in
the longer term. It would make a
great contriubtion to free and open
trade if Ms. Kanuk’s remarks indicated that the FMCis about to
dismantle some of that regulation.
THE JONES ACT--or to be
precise, Section 27 of the Merchant
Marine Act of 1920--restates and extends earlier U.S. legislation, the
history of which goes back to 1817. It
provides that vessels transporting
merchandise or passengers in the U.S.
"coastwise" trade must be owned by
U.S. citizens, and be U.S.-built and
U.S. -registered. It affords substantial
protection to both U.S. shipping and
U.S. shipbuilding, not always perhaps
in the broader interests of other U.S.
enterprises.
From the U.K. point of view, a
particular cause of concern is the
comparison between U.S. practice
and the complete freedom of trade in
the U.K. shipping world, especially
insofar as it affects offshore oil.
Vessels built or ownedin the U.S.
are entirely free to provide competitive servicing to the oil rigs in the
North Sea. British companies on the
other hand are not only unable to
provide services to oil drilling and
production companies in the
American waters of the Gulf or
Atlantic under any other flag than the
U.S., they are not even allowed to
provide the service vessels if they are
not built in the U.S.
BRITISH-built vessels for use by
U.S. companies (with one or two
special exceptions) and British-built
hovercraft cannot be operated by
American companies in the U.S. An
exampleof the fact that this protection is recognized occasionally as
detrimental to U.S. interests, is provided by the exemption granted by
the Surface Transportation Assistance
Act of 1978 (PL 95-599) which,
Section 146, contains a five-year exemption from the Jones Act for
foreign-built hovercraft used for
transportation within the state of
Alaska.
The Jones Act is a particularly
clear and striking exampleof a limitation to liberal trade principles. I
should have thought that the Acting
Chairman of the FMCwould at least
have acknowledged its existence and
recognized its protectionist function.

FCCdeclines action
against ICC ruling
....~;~~
OF
THE
-a,~-’~;..’--..’..%’-’-";-"
HOUSTON
PORT
BUREAU
The Federal Maritime Commission
has, at least for the moment,decidednot to
take any action against the Interstate Commerce
Commission,as regards the
ICC’s decision to deregulate rates on the rail portion of intermodal container
movements.Previously, oceancarriers and certain rate-making conferenceshad
petitioned the FMCto take action under Section 19 of the MerchantMarine Act,
and request the President to order the ICC to rescind its decontrol action. The
carriers claimed the movement
of decontrol by railroads wasillegal, due to a
potential for rebates. Also, railroads can increasetheir rates any time, but shipping lines mustwait at least 30 daysbeforeanyincreaseis effective. This forces the
shipping lines to absorbthese increases. Explaining its lack of action, the FMC
claimed water carriers had not provided enoughinformation showingany adverse
conditions existed. TheFMCalso took accountof the litigation pendingin the U.S.
Court of Appealsin NewOrleans,deciding to wait until the casehad beenresolved. The Port Bureauis participating in this case. The FMCis proposing rules
whichwill restore a certain formof rate-breakout,i.e., showingthe rail rate as well
as the oceanrate separately. However,certain oceancarriers have claimed such
action could cause the railroads to withdraw from their intermodal tariffs and
through-rateagreements,in order to prevent the disclosure of their inland costs.
Senator introduces
dredging proposal
Senator John Warner(R-VA) has introduced Bill S. 1389 which provides for
quicker federal action allowing newprojects to dredgeport harbors to a 40-foot
depth provided local port authorities and other local developersare willing to
sharethe costs. In addition to SenatorWarner,16 senatorsare supportingthe effort allowing the federal governmentto finance approximately60 per cent of the
construction costs for projects over 40-foot and 75 per cent of resulting incremental increases and operation and maintenancecosts. The bill also allows
action on project construction to be completedwithin 30 monthsfrom the application. An identical bill has beenintroduced in the Houseby Rep. Paul Trible
(H.R. 3977), and the entire Virginia delegation. Thesebills are almostidentical
a proposal originally put forth by SenatorLloyd Bentsen(D-TX) and previously
reported on by the Bureau.
House panel hears
cargodiversion bill
Much support has been given to a measure before the House of
Representatives, HR-3637,designedto prevent diversion of U.S. cargo through
Canadianports. This bill is designedto prevent Canadiancarriers from picking
up cargo in the United States and moving it through Canadianports without
having to file rates with the FMCor be subject to any aspects of the Shipping
Act. Various witnesses stressed that the enactmentof the bill would not prevent Canadiancarriers from moving cargo from U.S. points through Canadian
ports to foreign destinations. It would, however, place those carriers under
jurisdiction of the Federal Maritime Commissionand the Shipping Act with
respect to he filing of tariffs, and adherenceto statutes such as the AntiRebating Law. Witnesses claimed this law would place the Canadiancarriers
on an equal regulatory footing with competingcarriers movingtraffic through
U.S. ports. Various witnessestestified that Maritime Administration statistics
showed U.S. cargoes transshipped through Canadian ports grew from 1.4
million tons, worth $1.25billion in 1976;to 2.1 million tons, worth $3.39billion
in 1979; and in 1980 the tonnage figure was estimated at nearly 3.5 million
tons. This meansin 1979such diversion causedU.S. ports to lose approximately 800 vessel calls, 140,000 containers, 54,000 truck movements,80,000 rail
movements
and 4,000 to 5,000 waterfront and related jobs.
