The Federal Maritime Board is composed of three members, ap­ pointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The President designates one of such members to be the Chairman of the Board, who also serves em officio as Maritime Admin­ istrator. The plan transferred to the Federal Maritime Board the regula­ tory functions of the United States Maritime Commission and the functions with respect to making, amending, and terminating subsidy contracts and with respect to conducting hearings and making deter­ minations antecedent thereto, under the provisions of titles V, VI, and VIII, and sections 301, 708, 805 (a), and 805 (f) of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended. The Board, in respect of the regulatory functions transferred to it by the plan, is independent of the Secretary of Commerce. In admin­ istering other functions transferred to the Board by the plan, the Board is guided by the general policies of the Secretary of Commerce with respect to such functions. The actions of the Board in respect of the subsidy functions transferred to it are final. The Maritime Administration is charged with the administration and execution of shipbuilding, shipping, port development, and other programs authorized by law. Many of its actions are based on de­ terminations made by the Federal Maritime Board. The Adminis­ tration carries out its functions under a delegation of authority from the Secretary of Commerce. The Federal Maritime Board and the Maritime Administration, during fiscal year 1957, continued to devote their resources to the ac­ complishment of their responsibilities under the maritime laws. This legislation provides for the development and promotion of an Ameri­ can merchant marine sufficient to carry the domestic waterborne com­ merce and a substantial portion of the foreign commerce of the

Eng. Or. Document complet disponible sur OLIS dans son format d’origine Complete document available on OLIS in its original format 1 Summary This report focuses on regulations governing international liner and bulk shipping. Both modes are closely linked to international trade, deriving from it their growth. Also, as a service industry to trade international shipping, which is by far the main mode of international transport of goods, has facilitated international trade and has contributed to its expansion. Total seaborne trade volume was estimated by UNCTAD to have reached 5330 million metric tons in 2000. The report discusses the web of regulatory measures that surround these two segments of the shipping industry, and which have a considerable impact on its performance. As well as reviewing administrative regulations to judge whether they meet their intended objectives efficiently and effectively, the report examines all those aspects of economic regulations that restrict entry, exit, pricing and normal commercial practices, including different forms of business organisation. However, those regulatory elements that cover competition policy as applied to liner shipping will be dealt with in a separate study to be undertaken by the OECD Secretariat Many measures that apply to maritime transport services are not part of a regulatory framework but constitute commercial practices of market operators.

  • Chapter 17. Shipping Contributors: Alan Simcock (Lead Member)
    Chapter 17. Shipping Contributors: Alan Simcock (Lead member) and Osman Keh Kamara (Co-Lead member) 1. Introduction For at least the past 4,000 years, shipping has been fundamental to the development of civilization. On the sea or by inland waterways, it has provided the dominant way of moving large quantities of goods, and it continues to do so over long distances. From at least as early as 2000 BCE, the spice routes through the Indian Ocean and its adjacent seas provided not merely for the first long-distance trading, but also for the transport of ideas and beliefs. From 1000 BCE to the 13th century CE, the Polynesian voyages across the Pacific completed human settlement of the globe. From the 15th century, the development of trade routes across and between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans transformed the world. The introduction of the steamship in the early 19th century produced an increase of several orders of magnitude in the amount of world trade, and started the process of globalization. The demands of the shipping trade generated modern business methods from insurance to international finance, led to advances in mechanical and civil engineering, and created new sciences to meet the needs of navigation. The last half-century has seen developments as significant as anything before in the history of shipping. Between 1970 and 2012, seaborne carriage of oil and gas nearly doubled (98 per cent), that of general cargo quadrupled (411 per cent), and that of grain and minerals nearly quintupled (495 per cent) (UNCTAD, 2013). Conventionally, around 90 per cent of international trade by volume is said to be carried by sea (IMO, 2012), but one study suggests that the true figure in 2006 was more likely around 75 per cent in terms of tons carried and 59 per cent by value (Mandryk, 2009).

  • Titanic Jurisprudence in United States Federal Court
    Do Not Delete 7/15/2012 5:16 PM LIABILITY AND SALVAGE: TITANIC JURISPRUDENCE IN UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT by Matthew E. Zekala∗ On May 31, 1911, the R.M.S Titanic was launched from the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland. On August 15, 2011, the District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia awarded R.M.S. Titanic, Inc., an in specie salvage award for artifacts recovered from the wreck of the Titanic. One hundred years after its launch, the Titanic still is perhaps the most famous ship in modern history and, despite its British ownership and loss in international waters, the sinking and salvage of the ship has been heavily litigated in United States courts. This Comment examines the legal history of the Titanic’s admiralty jurisprudence in United States federal courts, beginning with the shipowner’s effort to limit its liability, and culminating with an analysis of the eighteen-year litigation that led to the salvage award. This Comment argues that public policy is best served by court-supervised salvage awards and that recovery and restoration of historical artifacts is neither “exploitation” nor “grave robbing” as some detractors have maintained. Salvors such as R.M.S. Titanic, Inc., should be recognized for performing a valuable public service—the preservation of cultural treasures that otherwise would be lost to the natural elements—through judicially supervised compensation that provides adequate protection for wreck sites and recovered artifacts. As newer and better underwater exploration technology becomes available, more wrecks will be discovered and known wrecks that currently are inaccessible may be explored.
