Summary

Ocean Shipping Reform Implementation Act of 2023 This bill addresses the influence of the Chinese government on the U.S. shipping industry. Specifically, the bill prohibits port authorities from using LOGINK or any similar Chinese state-affiliated transportation logistics public information platform. The bill also enhances the Federal Maritime Commission's authority to address market manipulation, including by designating a private vessel based in a nonmarket economy or otherwise anticompetitive country as a controlled carrier. (The commission regulates controlled carriers to ensure that they charge fair market rates for shipping cargo.) Under the bill, the commission must accept and investigate complaints about potentially unlawful actions by shipping exchanges. (A shipping exchange is a data platform that enables businesses shipping goods to connect with carriers to transport those goods.) The bill also requires the commission to establish a data standard to help facilitate the voluntary sharing of supply chain data among carriers, port authorities, and other shipping industry stakeholders. This standard must allow users to exchange data (using standardized terms and methods) in real time consistent with industry practices. The commission must also establish standards for price indexes published by shipping exchanges. The bill also establishes a committee with members representing marine terminal operators and port authorities to advise the commission on competitiveness, reliability, and efficiency in the international ocean freight delivery system.
