What have been the changes under the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 1999?
(86) VerifiedORSA changed the balance of ratemaking power in the liner industry.
Typical of any deregulation effort OSRA was designed to promote a more market driven,efficient liner shipping industry. Previously much of the rate making power rested with the sippling conferences where the large industry player would agree to all use similar rate structures.
A key element of ORSA in creating efficiency was to change the conference system so that the large shippers had the ability to negotiate private,confidential contracts with liner companies.This enhanced ability to deal with individual carriers,the elimination of the "me-too" requirement for similarly situated customers,and the confidentiality of certain commercially sensitive service contract terms have fostered a shift to contract carriage.
As a result of OSRA and other reforms,many ocean conferences have lost significant membership,ceased operations,or shifted their focus.
