Washington, DC, August 1, 2022. The National Industrial Transportation League (NITL or League), the nation’s oldest trade association representing US businesses that rely on freight transportation systems to ship their industrial materials domestically and internationally supports proposed legislation that would repeal ocean carrier anti-trust immunity. NITL thanks Rep. Jim Costa’s (D-CA-16) for introducing H.R. 6864, the Ocean Shipping Antitrust Enforcement Act, which would protect US businesses by ensuring that ocean carriers are subject fully to US antitrust laws.
