DOT/MARAD RIN: 2133-AB19 Publication ID: Spring 1996 
Title: Fair and Reasonable Rates: Bulk and Packaged Preference Cargoes 
Abstract: In an effort to encourage the development of a modern and efficient U.S. flag bulk fleet and to help lower government-wide cargo preference program costs, MARAD is considering changes in its methodology for the determination of fair and reasonable rates. MARAD has identified three alternative methodologies which it might consider. Fair and reasonable rate determinations are now provided to U.S. government shippers of preference cargo, thereby creating ceiling rates which limit government costs and the revenue U.S. flag operators receive for ocean cargo transportation. This is significant due to substantial industry and government interest. Common carrier liner services are being considered in a rulemaking RIN 2133-AB16.
