In this standalone interview from EP34 of the The Freight Buyers' Club (https://www.thefreightbuyersclub.com/), produced with the support of Dimerco Express Group, host Mike King speaks with maritime law expert Lauren Beagen, ‘The Maritime Professor’, about the top five regulatory and policy issues that could impact freight buyers in 2025:

  • Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) Leadership & Powers – With Louis E. Sola as the new FMC Chair, what changes should shippers expect? Will the Ocean Shipping Reform Act (OSRA) remain intact?
  • Detention & Demurrage Policy – Ongoing legal battles over pandemic-era charges could reshape D&D regulations.
  • Panama & U.S. Policy – The FMC’s role in addressing Chinese influence, corruption, and water level issues at the Panama Canal.
  • Container Shipping Alliances & MQCs – How the FMC is scrutinizing carrier agreements and minimum quantity commitments (MQCs) in contracts.
  • The SHIPS Act & National Security – U.S. flagged fleet expansion, supply chain security, and scrutiny of Chinese shipping dominance.

    • Plus, shipbuilding initiatives & eBLs!
