A case that alleges ocean carriers are overcharging truckers for use of container chassis at ports will proceed after a judge denied a request for dismissal filed by the defendants. An administrative law judge with the Federal Maritime Commission this week rejected a motion from the Ocean Carriers Equipment Management Association seeking dismissal of a claim filed by the Intermodal Motor Carriers Conference of American Trucking Associations. In the case, IMCC alleges that OCEMA and 11 international ocean carriers violated the Shipping Act of 1984 by inflating prices for intermodal chassis at dozens of ports nationwide. IMCC says this has cost the trucking industry $1.8 billion over the past three years. The decision was welcomed by ATA, and clears the way for its case to continue. Learn more about your ad choices.
