OCEAN TRANSPORT

摘要

The U.S. Department of Justice in March served top executives of leading liner shipping companies with information subpoenas during meetings of the World International Council of Containership Operators, an 18-member group informally known as the "Box Club," and the World Shipping Council in California. It's not exactly clear why DOJ issued the subpoenas, but the department raised red flags last year as ocean carriers belonging to the G6, CKYHE and Ocean3 alliances were finalizing plans to consolidate themselves into just two vessel sharing agreements—the OCEAN and THE Alliance agreements that began operations in April.
