Commissioner Daniel B. Maffei has been designated as the new Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission by President Joe Biden as announced by the FMC on Tuesday.
Michael A. Khouri was the previous chairman and is being replaced by Maffei, who is a sitting member of the FMC. Maffei had joined Commissioner Carl W. Bentzel in throwing light on the difficulties American shippers have faced in acquiring export container services. For gripping the peak demand for shipping from Asian manufacturers, many carriers have prioritized instantly returning empty containers to China.
Maffei in his statement said that he is grateful for the confidence and trust that President Biden has shown in him by appointing him as the Chairman at such a critical time for their nation's supply chain.
