Owner of the shipping companies do not want to accuse the United States will slow down due to the navigation of the benefits and savings share owner. In addition, they think the strategy initiated by the shipping companies has seriously affected the supply chain.
on behalf of the interests of the United States Transportation Union, owner (NITL) the Federal Maritime Commission has submitted written evidence on slow sailing, the alliance also called on more characteristics of the engine temperature and combustion After the slow sailing into account the overall impact on the environment.

The alliance said the response from the shipping company for the implementation of the excess capacity has been slow sailing, the owner of the alliance members are found in many transport costs increased. It pointed out that the savings due to slow navigation of the cost of fuel for the owner is just a" see, touch them," the benefits, in fact, the majority owner and does not benefit.

even though those routes shipping companies operating the United States may argue that the decline in fuel costs has been reflected in the tariffs (lower) on the But the United States Transportation Union countered that the lack of specific data is difficult to judge this statement is true.

The Union believes that by the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) to come forward to collect the data from the shipping company and determine the amount of fuel cost savings as well and potential profit sharing space more appropriate. United States Transportation Union, said:" Even if there are other factors makes it difficult to judge the ones who enjoy the real space, the Federal Maritime Commission or the general master shipping company should be based on operating and fuel cost information, clear navigation gear on the real impact of fuel costs." " Although there is no statutory obligation to shipping companies sailing profits will slow down give the owner, but slow navigation of U.S. importers and exporters do a cost/benefit analysis is still very necessary." The alliance said.

Transport Union, the United States has more than 600 member companies, which under the Maritime Transport Committee under the navigation on the deceleration of the feedback from the draft submitted to the Federal Maritime Commission's evidence. The alliance said the slowdown caused Navigation lengthen transit time, capacity and decrease the effective utilization of containers and equipment shortages so that even more serious." Deceleration resulting in millions of navigating the transport of goods over time the one of the main aspects of the supply chain - inventory has been greatly affected." It said. Initially, the slowdown will accelerate the stock's consumption of sailing, the owner is difficult to fill the shelves, it can not be timely available to the manufacturers of the production line. Then, the owner had to increase inventory to meet the slow navigation, and shipping of these goods are also higher. In addition, the Union noted that the transport time will lengthen the amount of supply chain inventory lacks accurate demand forecasts, leading to rising inventories, such a waste of money and inefficient. Moreover, since the slow sailing, the owner in order to obtain containers and equipment in some cases had to pay an additional fee. Submitted evidence to the Federal Maritime Commission, said the reduction gear of navigation and flight together to raise the tariff, because the relation to demand, supply is reduced." Because the demand for container shipping in 2010 a large increase in channels of the Union members did not understand the shipping companies operating conditions, in order to explain the rates and slow down the connection between navigation is impossible." It said. The Union also warned that some of the owner has transferred out of the air. Finally, the Union concluded that the slow draw and did not cause the owner to benefit navigation. On the contrary, exclusive of the shipping companies all the economic benefits of this approach.

The League called on to gather more information to illustrate the impact of the slowdown." According to our observation, shippers and consumers 'welfare' is transferred to the hands of shipping companies. The question is 'welfare' of the transfer of the ship really reduce the negative impact of emissions on the environment." The alliance said.
