Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) Chairman Mario Cordero will hold a forum titled, "U.S. Port Congestion: Examining Causes, Impact on Stakeholders, and Exploring Possible Solutions" on Monday, September 15, 2014, from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Port of Los Angeles’ administration building in San Pedro, Calif.

According to FMC, the forum’s goal is to promote dialogue on the causes and implications of congestion at U.S. ports. Industry stakeholders, regulators, and the general public are encouraged to take part.

FMC said it encourages interested parties, including truckers – licensed motor carriers, terminal operators, steamship lines, ocean transportation intermediaries, equipment lessors, cargo owners, longshoremen and port authorities, to attend and join in the discussion on port congestion and its impact on the different industry sectors.

In addition to the suggested topics (factors causing port congestion, truck turn times, impact on stakeholders, use of technology to reduce congestion and related fees and PierPass), participants may raise other topics related to port congestion.

Registration is encouraged but not required.
