"According to @FarmBureau, the U.S. has lost out on more than $25 billion in agricultural exports in the last six months because of ocean shipping constraints. OSRA ensures foreign ocean carriers can't take advantage of U.S. ports, while abandoning our products at the dock."Read on Twitter
"Equally as troubling, U.S. producers and shippers have been subject to millions in "detention and demurrage" fees because of carrier cancelations. If carriers cancel on U.S. biz, why are we getting fined for it? Our bill cracks down on this practice."Read on Twitter
"Consumer spending on e-commerce hit record numbers last year. China began incentivizing foreign ocean carriers to drop their loads at the dock, ditch American food exports, and return to Asia w/empty containers. We heard from U.S. biz in March 2021 about this unfair behavior."Read on Twitter
