The federal government passed the Ocean Shipping Reform Act and other pieces of legislation trying to curb expensive trends, possible price gouging and alliances among carriers. But how far is the US government willing to go in order to protect economic interests? At what price is the country paying with other areas of maritime shipping lagging behind? Ultimately, where is this new attitude of regulation headed in the near future? Maritime attorney Lauren Beagen, maritime historian Dr. Sal Mercogliano and Senior Fellow for the Institute of Maritime Security John D. McCown join Bill Priestley on this edition of FreightWaves Presents.
