President Biden and Congress are listening to retailers’ S.O.S. call to Save Our Shipments and address the crisis gripping America’s supply chains. In fact, we have already completed two of our three actions on our Save Our Shipments to-do list, and we are only ONE VOTE AWAY from completing our goal. 

Our final step to Save Our Shipments is enacting the Ocean Shipping Reform Act (OSRA) of 2021.

Longstanding unfair business practices by ocean carriers and terminal operators are further complicating supply chain disruption issues and adding to port congestion.  The Ocean Shipping Reform Act would put in place common-sense reforms to address some of these ongoing issues that have been further highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

On December 8, we moved one step closer to completing our S.O.S. to-do list when the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the Ocean Shipping Reform Act with bipartisan support. The U.S. Senate must now take up and pass this critical legislation and send it to President Biden’s desk for signature. 

Momentum is on our side and the Senate is expected to introduce and potentially vote on OSRA in early 2022. Tell the U.S. Senate to support the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2021 today.
