As the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic continues, the OECD’s International Transport Forum (ITF) has renewed its criticism of the structure of the liner shipping industry, according to Splash247. The slump in consumer demand has driven a steep decline in volumes and looks set to wreak havoc on carriers’ balance sheets, and led the ITF to refine its warnings about the re-emergence of state subsidies and associated loss of …

Un estudio publicado por el International Transport Forum (ITF) ha sembrado este mes de septiembre las dudas sobre los efectos que están teniendo las subvenciones marítimas directas e indirectas en la industria europea del transporte marítimo.

The current block exemption regulation (BER) allows carriers to operate as consortia in trades serving the EU, and was introduced when the EC banned the liner conference system. It is set to expire on 25 April 2020.

The EU should end the block exemption against forming consortia the liner shipping industry currently enjoys, says a new report from the OECD-funded International Transport Forum.
