BETHESDA, Md. – The Auto Care Association testified before the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) today on how incidents of port operations and severe congestion at container terminals in U.S. ports have affected its membership. Steve Hughes, president and CEO of HCS International and chairman of the Auto Care Association’s International Trade Committee provided testimony on behalf of the membership in response to a petition filed by the Coalition for Fair Port Practices in Dec. 2016, urging the FMC to ensure that demurrage and detention practices are fair and responsible when moving cargo through our nation’s ports.
