Ocean Shipping Reform Act aims to improve port problems sooner than later

A U.S. Senator who introduced legislation to help solve shipping issues is hopeful the situation at ports will be improving soon.

Minnesota Democrat Amy Klobuchar tells Brownfield the Ocean Shipping Reform Act addresses supply chain challenges by making it harder for ocean carriers to arbitrarily turn away goods at ports that are ready to be shipped abroad.

“The best-case scenario is they see that we’re pushing at them. And when you know these rules are coming down the pike, even if they haven’t happened yet, your inclination is not to increase prices more because you want to show you’re good players.
