Then they will follow individual interviews with representatives of the nine carriers Maritime.
«The Federal Maritime Commission - explained the President of the FMC, Daniel B. Maffei - is committed to ensuring that the law is respected and that the shippers do not suffer unfairly disadvantages. The work of the audit team will allow the Commission to monitor the development of the counter-stilles, of holding and revenues and to establish a dialogue continuous between staff and carriers on the challenges that the supply chain must face. Obviously - maffei pointed out - if the group of audit will uncover prohibited activities, the Commission will take appropriate measures. Also the information collected by the audit process could lead, if necessary, to changes to the FMC regulations and the guidelines of the sector'.
