Service Description

Clear the Confusion: The Referee vs. The Owner Two U.S. maritime agencies, often confused—but very different. The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) regulates international ocean shipping, while the Maritime Administration (MARAD) promotes U.S. maritime infrastructure, the U.S. flag fleet, shipbuilding, and defense readiness. In this live, plain-language webinar by The Maritime Professor®, you’ll learn: ⚖️ The Referee (FMC): Understand how they enforce the rules of international trade and blow the whistle on "foul play" like unfair detention and demurrage fees. 🏗️ The Owner (MARAD): See how they invest in the "franchise"—from building the stadium (port grants) to supporting the players (shipbuilding and U.S. fleet) and national defense. 📜 The Rules of the Game: A clear look at how the Shipping Act, OSRA 2022, and the Jones Act actually fit into your operations. 💡 Game-Day Examples: Real-world scenarios to help you identify exactly when to work with each agency.
