Service Description

Join maritime attorney Lauren Beagen, founder of The Maritime Professor®, for a clear and timely webinar unpacking the world of agreements filed at the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) — with a focus on the World Shipping Council (WSC) and the FMC’s recent challenge to its agreement. This session breaks down complex regulatory concepts into plain language, making it accessible for industry professionals, carriers, shippers, and anyone impacted by global ocean shipping rules and cooperation. What You’ll Learn: ✅ Why the FMC issued its show cause order to the World Shipping Council and what it targets ✅ How this action could impact carrier cooperation and industry practices ✅ What types of agreements the FMC reviews and why they matter ✅ How this challenge might affect your shipping contracts and costs ✅ The potential changes in regulatory oversight you should prepare for Who Should Attend: ✔️ Business leaders and decision-makers at import/export companies who need to navigate shipping regulations confidently ✔️ Operations and logistics managers responsible for carrier relationships and contract compliance ✔️ Freight forwarders and third-party logistics providers aiming to anticipate regulatory impacts on service agreements ✔️ Maritime attorneys and compliance officers seeking up-to-date insights on FMC enforcement trends ✔️ Industry professionals wanting to better understand how regulatory changes may affect supply chain costs and reliability Why This Matters: This review could be a routine regulatory check—or it could signal a tightening of the FMC’s jurisdictional authority over agreements filed under the Shipping Act. Either way, it underscores the importance of carefully evaluating the scope and justification of all filed agreements. Staying informed will help you anticipate possible regulatory changes and adapt your strategies in this evolving landscape. 🔹 Don’t miss this opportunity!
