The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) is investigating transit constraints at key maritime chokepoints that may be affecting shipping conditions. The investigation will focus on seven chokepoints, including the Suez Canal and Panama Canal, assessing issues such as congestion, capacity limitations, and geopolitical tensions. The FMC invites public comments from various stakeholders, including shipping interests and government authorities, to gather insights on the causes and effects of these constraints. The comment period is open until May 13, with potential remedial measures to be discussed later.
