COURT ISSUES DECISION IN EX PARTE 261 CASE:The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., has ruledclearly in favor of the Interstate Commerce Commission’sregulatory approach over international through rates. Thisdecision which concerned the ICe’s system of regulating non-vessel operating carriers in past years and offended theFederal Maritime Commission, aroused port and otherinterests which :were in a position to lose export cargo throughthe mini-bridge and land-bridge systems, and was alsochallenged by the State of Pennsylvania and the Port ofPhiladelphia. This case came about when the ICC reversed its60 year old position in 1969, when it decided that the growthof containerization and intermodalism was cause forreconsideration of its prior decisions to refuse to accept jointland-water through rates. The FMC protested in 1969, buttheir objections were met by the ICC when it agreed toconfine its rate regulation to the land segment under theInterstate Commerce Act. The Court said that the main factorin judging of such a case was whether the policy change wasexplained in detail and justified so that those parties affectedbythe policy would understand the newly adopted position.As a result of this decision, each agency now retains authorityover the segment of the through rate which it would exerciseif they were conventionally filed, but the rates of the land andocean carriers will continue as usual. This case is expected tobe appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

FORWARDERS, NVOCC’S WARNED ON FMC RULES:Ocean freight forwarders as well as non-vessel operatingcommon carriers have been warned by the Federal MaritimeCommission that under the law they are allowed to act aseither a forwarder or as an NVOCC for compensation, butnot as both. The FMC claims that certain licensed foreignfreight forwarders are also acting as NVO’s and are collectingfees on shipments from carriers for shipments moving in theirown NVOCC service; also f~rom shippers for forwardingservices, without having the correct rules describing terms andconditions, and also where appropriate, prescribing fees forthis service in their respective tariffs on file with the FMC. Thistype of practice is contrary to the rules of the FMC, whichstates that NVO’s may be licensed as independent oceanfreight forwarders, but whenever such persons act as anNVOCC by water, they are not allowed to collectcompensation nor shall any common carrier by water paysuch compensation to NVOCC for a shipment.

JUDGE ISSUES INITIAL DECISION IN LEAD MINI-BRIDGE CASE: In a decision served July 1, anAdministrative Law Judge for the Federal MaritimeCommission has issued a recommended decision in the FarEast mini-bridge case which was the lead case in the variouscomplaints against mini-bridge. The case started in 1973when Seatrain Lines started an inbound through service fromJapan to the U.S. East Coast via U.S. Pacific Coast ports andTrans-Continental railroads This service was protested by thevarious U.S. Atlantic and Gulf ports. InternationalLongshoreman’s Association (ILA). and the Council of NorthAtlantic Shipping Association (CONASA). Their generalarguments were that they would suffer economic injury andjob losses because of lost business and that the loss wasaccomplished by unlawful means, such as "absorption" ofinland rates and diversion of cargo. However, theAdministrative Law Judge claimed he found no foundationfor these arguments and disapproved them. It was felt that thecomplainants did not show that any diversions of cargo hadindeed occurred to any harmful extent or that carriers hadabsorbed inland costs to the detriment of the ports. TheAdministrative Law Judge stated the reason for this was thatsuch an unlawful absorption was not established by the mereshowing of a difference in the rate structure of rate return. Itwas also felt that the complaint failed to show that the actualrates involved were low enough to be detrimental tocommerce. The Port Bureau was an intervenor in this casealong with the Port of Freeport as well as the Port of HoustonAuthority and suggested one remedy might be to apply apremium rate to such mini-bridge service. However, the LawJudge’s decision stated there ws no need for such a basis orsuch a system of rates. The Port Bureau is currently studyingthis decision and will file exception to the initial decision byAugust 18.

REQUEST l.C.C. FOR A RULE-MAKING ACTION: TheI.C.C. has been asked to begin a rule-making action aimed atrequiring railroads to file specifically defined applications forrelief under Section Four of the Interstate Commerce Actwhen they are parties to international joint rates. The petitionfor a rule:making was filed jointly May 17 by the AlabamaState Docks Department, the Board of Trustees of theGalveston Wharves. the Port Of Houston Authority, theHouston Port Bureau. Inc., the State of Texas, the Board ofCommissioner of the Port of New Orleans. and the NewOrleans Traffic and Transportation Bureau. Inc. ThePetitioners are aiming at rules covering the form, content andmanner of justifying relief in filing Fourth Section Applicationpertaining to the division, rate or charge collected by commoncarriers subject to Parts one and two of the InterstateCommerce Act for their portion of a joint rate with a vessel-operating water carrier engaged in foreign commerce.

Ship’s Bell GivenTo Marine Corps

At ceremonies held in Washington,D.C., the bell from the Sea-Land con-tainership SS MAYAGUEZ waspresented to General Louis H. Wilson,Commandant of the U.S. Marine Cor-ps, by Charles I. Hiltzheimer, Chair-man and Chief Executive Officer ofSea-Land Service, Inc.

Noting that little more than twoyears have elapsed since the seizure ofthe MAYAGUEZ by a Cambodiangunboat, Mr. Hiltzheimer said, "Wewill always be grateful to the hundredsof Marines whose intense braverymade possible the safe return of theMAYA GUEZ and her crew."

Presented in honor of the recentopening of the U.S. Marine CorpsHistorical Center in the WashingtonNavy Yard, the bell will form the latestexhibit in the Center’s "Time Tunnel"section, where chronologicallyarranged displays illustrate the historyof the U.S. Marines. Copies of papersfi:om the Captain’s log of the 1975MA YAGUEZ voyage, donated alongwith the bell, will be stored in the ar-chives department of the new Center.

Built in 1944 and converted into acontainership in 1965, theMA YAGUEZ was named for one ofSea-Land’s earliest foreign ports-of-call, Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. Mannedby American crews and flying the U.S.flag, the MAYAGUEZ is in servicetoday as a relay vessel in Sea-Land’sFar East trade route.

Vessels are Weather Routed for EfficiencyFrom the moment a vessel leaves

port its cargo is entrusted to the care ofthe ship’s officers and crew. How wellthey perform their duties at sea willinsure the fastest, most efficientdelivery of the commodities on board.

One of the most important factors,among others affecting the oceanvoyage, is weather. It plays the decisiverole in the course the ship will follow.Its calmness or severity determines theroute the vessel’s captain or master willspecify for the journey.

Peter Neumann, master of theCombi Line full containershipLUDWlGSHAFEN is a 25 yearveteran of Hapag Lloyd, one of theCombi partners in the North Europe toU.S. South Atlantic and Gulf traderoute. The other partner isIntercontinental Transport ICT (BV).Captain Neumann knows that strictadherence to schedules and sailingfrequencies constitute the main thrustof his company’s cargoliner service. Asa seaman of longstanding, he knowsand respects the weather as a keyelement in his port-to-port sailings.

’~(3ur-vessels are weather routed toassure the fastest, shortest and safestvoyage possible. The weather forecastis determined by electronic means asfar in advance as possible but the routecan and does often change during thecourse of the ocean crossing. Whilesome ships utilize satellite navigationsystems in their journey, the majority,including ours, rely on astronomic orcelestial navigation. The latter isderived by finding the ship’s positionin relation to the position of the starsand planets in the sky. As the shipnears the coast we will rely on a radiodirection system for our location. Atsea and approaching land, we dependon radar for bearings. Well out at searadar is the principal aid for greatestvisibility, and can scan, on the averagefrom one-half to 48 miles ahead of thevessel under most conditions,"Captain Neumann said.

Next in importance to the celestialnavigation system, the captain andcrew depend on weather reports,weather charts and weather repeatersto insure maximum safety en route.Weather charts are received every threeor four hours aboard ship viaelectronic means similar to telex, whileweather reports come in via radio fromU.S. and foreign stations. There also iscontinual radio / telephonecommunications between the ship andland. Should the need ever arise,course and speed can be altered at amoment’s notice to fit any situation,Captain Neumann explained.

In the modern containerships andLASH vessels of Combi Line, a 25

member crew operates the vessel less thanone full day in port. Averagearound the clock for the duration of speed of each container vessel is 22the voyage, knots. U.S. general agents for the line
