YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

On this episode of What's Going on With Shipping, host Sal Mercogliano - Chair of the Department of History, Criminal Justice, and Political Science, former merchant mariner, and instructor of Maritime History, Security and Industry Policy - talks about the role the government is playing in the current shipping crisis.

First, two members of Congress have launched investigations and legislation to deal with the supposed issues. Second, the recent Biden announcement to commence 24/7 gate operations at the port of Los Angeles, in addition to Long Beach. However, reporting and on the ground witnesses confirm this is not the case. Third, we have a new Maritime Administrator and they are coming at the job with a fresh perspective because Rear Admiral Ann Phillips the nominee does not seem to have any commercial shipping experience or background. Finally, we look at the evolving case of sexual harassment and assault on board US flagged ships and the announcement by the US Coast Guard that they don't have jurisdiction to prosecute these cases.
