It would also be most encouragingif the principle of free and open tradeis in the future to be applied by theActing Chairman of the FMC in thecontext of the Jones Act, one of themost restrictive pieces of protectivelegislation concerning shipping in thefree world.

Richard G. Tallboys gives his thoughts on free trade

THE JONES ACT--or to beprecise, Section 27 of the MerchantMarine Act of 1920--restates and ex-tends earlier U.S. legislation, thehistory of which goes back to 1817. Itprovides that vessels transportingmerchandise or passengers in the U.S."coastwise" trade must be owned byU.S. citizens, and be U.S.-built andU.S. -registered. It affords substantialprotection to both U.S. shipping andU.S. shipbuilding, not always perhapsin the broader interests of other U.S.enterprises.

Consul General gives British

view of U. S. trade regulations

Editor’s Note: The following article wassubmitted by Richard G. Tallboys, ConsulGeneral of the United Kingdom in Houston, inresponse to a speech by Leslie Kanuk, formeracting chairman of the Federal Maritime Com-mission. Mrs. Kanuk has since left the FMC buther departure did not affect the situation whichMr. Tallboys so ably discusses.

I was interested to read in the Juneedition of the Port of HoustonMagazine the remarks made by theActing Chairman of the FederalMaritime Commission regarding theproposed UNCTAD Code of LinerConduct.

I am greatly encouraged to seeLeslie Kanuk’s remarks that the prin-ciple of free and open trade has beenthe foundation of the United States’shipping policy through out itshistory. I imagine that the UnitedKingdom would not be the only ma-jor maritime nation that would behappy to see the principle appliedmore widely in practice. At presentthe Federal Maritime Commissionitself operates a detailed system ofshipping regulations which has noparallel among other free-worldmaritime nations.

TO THE extent that such regula-tion affects only practices within U.S.territory then it is not for a foreign

August, 1981

diplomat to comment. But it is a factthat the FMC regulations have adirect bearing on international tradeand on the operations of non-U.S.ships.

Tariffs have to be filed with theFMC, and agreements between ship-ping companies (such as conferenceagreements) must be approved by theFMC. Any activities beyond the scopeof FMC-approved agreements canresult in exposure not only to Ship-ping Act penalties but also to thepenalties of the anti-trust laws.

In contrast the U.K., like other ma-.jor maritime nations, does not seek toregulate the industry and exempts itfrom domestic competition law.

WITH THE like-minded membergovernments (12 European countriesand Japan) of the Consultative Ship-ping Group (CSG) the U.K. has pro-tested against U.S. unilateral regula-tion of international trade, and seeksthrough dialogue with U.S. govern-ment agencies to ease the regulatoryburden both in particular cases and inthe longer term. It would make agreat contriubtion to free and opentrade if Ms. Kanuk’s remarks in-dicated that the FMC is about todismantle some of that regulation.

From the U.K. point of view, aparticular cause of concern is thecomparison between U.S. practiceand the complete freedom of trade inthe U.K. shipping world, especiallyinsofar as it affects offshore oil.

Vessels built or owned in the U.S.are entirely free to provide com-petitive servicing to the oil rigs in theNorth Sea. British companies on theother hand are not only unable toprovide services to oil drilling andproduction companies in theAmerican waters of the Gulf orAtlantic under any other flag than theU.S., they are not even allowed toprovide the service vessels if they arenot built in the U.S.

BRITISH-built vessels for use byU.S. companies (with one or twospecial exceptions) and British-builthovercraft cannot be operated byAmerican companies in the U.S. Anexample of the fact that this protec-tion is recognized occasionally asdetrimental to U.S. interests, is pro-vided by the exemption granted bythe Surface Transportation AssistanceAct of 1978 (PL 95-599) which, Section 146, contains a five-year ex-emption from the Jones Act forforeign-built hovercraft used fortransportation within the state ofAlaska.

The Jones Act is a particularlyclear and striking example of a limita-tion to liberal trade principles. Ishould have thought that the ActingChairman of the FMC would at leasthave acknowledged its existence andrecognized its protectionist function.

OBSERVATIONS OF THE HOUSTON PORT BUREAU

FCC declines actionagainst ICC ruling

The Federal Maritime Commission has, at least for the moment, decided not totake any action against the Interstate Commerce Commission, as regards theICC’s decision to deregulate rates on the rail portion of intermodal containermovements. Previously, ocean carriers and certain rate-making conferences hadpetitioned the FMC to take action under Section 19 of the Merchant Marine Act,and request the President to order the ICC to rescind its decontrol action. Thecarriers claimed the movement of decontrol by railroads was illegal, due to apotential for rebates. Also, railroads can increase their rates any time, but shipp-ing lines must wait at least 30 days before any increase is effective. This forces theshipping lines to absorb these increases. Explaining its lack of action, the FMCclaimed water carriers had not provided enough information showing any adverseconditions existed. The FMC also took account of the litigation pending in the U.S.Court of Appeals in New Orleans, deciding to wait until the case had been resolv-ed. The Port Bureau is participating in this case. The FMC is proposing ruleswhich will restore a certain form of rate-breakout, i.e., showing the rail rate as wellas the ocean rate separately. However, certain ocean carriers have claimed suchaction could cause the railroads to withdraw from their intermodal tariffs andthrough-rate agreements, in order to prevent the disclosure of their inland costs.

Senator introducesdredging proposal

Senator John Warner (R-VA) has introduced Bill S. 1389 which provides forquicker federal action allowing new projects to dredge port harbors to a 40-footdepth provided local port authorities and other local developers are willing toshare the costs. In addition to Senator Warner, 16 senators are supporting the ef-fort allowing the federal government to finance approximately 60 per cent of theconstruction costs for projects over 40-foot and 75 per cent of resulting in-cremental increases and operation and maintenance costs. The bill also allowsaction on project construction to be completed within 30 months from the ap-plication. An identical bill has been introduced in the House by Rep. Paul Trible(H.R. 3977), and the entire Virginia delegation. These bills are almost identical a proposal originally put forth by Senator Lloyd Bentsen (D-TX) and previouslyreported on by the Bureau.

House panel hearscargo diversion bill

Much support has been given to a measure before the House ofRepresentatives, HR-3637, designed to prevent diversion of U.S. cargo throughCanadian ports. This bill is designed to prevent Canadian carriers from pickingup cargo in the United States and moving it through Canadian ports withouthaving to file rates with the FMC or be subject to any aspects of the ShippingAct. Various witnesses stressed that the enactment of the bill would not pre-vent Canadian carriers from moving cargo from U.S. points through Canadianports to foreign destinations. It would, however, place those carriers underjurisdiction of the Federal Maritime Commission and the Shipping Act withrespect to he filing of tariffs, and adherence to statutes such as the Anti-Rebating Law. Witnesses claimed this law would place the Canadian carrierson an equal regulatory footing with competing carriers moving traffic throughU.S. ports. Various witnesses testified that Maritime Administration statisticsshowed U.S. cargoes transshipped through Canadian ports grew from 1.4million tons, worth $1.25 billion in 1976; to 2.1 million tons, worth $3.39 billionin 1979; and in 1980 the tonnage figure was estimated at nearly 3.5 milliontons. This means in 1979 such diversion caused U.S. ports to lose approximate-ly 800 vessel calls, 140,000 containers, 54,000 truck movements, 80,000 railmovements and 4,000 to 5,000 waterfront and related jobs.
