FMC Commissioners Discuss Port of NY/NJ Info Portal, L.A. PierPASS Program

Officials from the Port of New York and New Jersey briefed the Federal Maritime Commission on the port’s new Terminal Information Portal System, which allows port users to check container availability and export booking status, at a meeting held Dec. 16 (here). FMC commissioners applauded the port for its collaborative efforts and focus on transparency. FMC staff also briefed the commissioners on their continuing review of the PierPASS program at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The review is the result of both FMC's duty to review port agreements and direct complaints from port stakeholders about PierPASS operations, costs, and quality of services, said the FMC release.
