Clay Discusses the American Port Access Privileges Act to Give American Exporters Preferential Berthing
In this 295th edition in the Mondays with Maitland Series, Clay discusses the American Port Access Privileges Act (H.R. 8243), introduced by Congressmen Garamendi (D-CA) and Costa (D-CA), to give American exporters preferential berthing in in U.S. ports. The bill’s sponsors claim that this new preferential berthing will reward ocean carriers that serve importers and American exporters by moving those vessels to the front of the queue for unloading and loading.
