“We don’t believe regulators and competition authorities will be able to solve the situation, today or in the near future”. Incredibly unimaginative. There are so many things regulators can do.

[Olaf Merk @o_merk]

“There is no market concentration problem”: There is just one conglomerate of interlinked alliances and consortia of the top 9 carriers - operating more than 90% of the East-West market - that can jointly withdraw, shift and manage available ship capacity as they see fit

[Olaf Merk @o_merk]

Sea Intelligence confirms what I have been saying for a while: there is no “demand explosion” for container shipping to Europe. So one wonders what explains and justifies the current extremely high ocean freight rates to Europe.

The Biden administration will push regulators to confront consolidation and perceived anticompetitive pricing in the ocean shipping and railroad industries as part of a broad effort to blunt the power of big business to dominate industries https://t.co/C9TbMahMQA

[Olaf Merk @o_merk]

“Public ports have to ask themselves whether it is right that they continue to support an oligopolistic liner shipping model rather than taking a bigger share of the cake when there [are] super profits to go around”. Exactly

What happens when govts say they won't allow your loved one's body home because of 'the pandemic'?

This ⬇

MV Ital Libera is only the latest case of where seafarers' families are denied the return of bodies for final farewells.

There is actually quite a lot that governments can do - and that governments that care for their exporters or importers should do

[International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) @ITFglobalunion]

The flag of convenience system allows shipowners to shirk their responsibilities to seafarers, and to taxpayers.

@Mdickinson1262 from @nautilusint on why it is time to bring transparency and fairness to the murky world of global shipping. He's right.
