LANSING (June 14, 2022) — Michigan Agri-Business President Chuck Lippstreu today issued the following statement on U.S. House approval of the Ocean Shipping Reform Act on last night’s strong bipartisan vote: “U.S. House approval of the Ocean Shipping Reform Act is a critical step that will help clear the way for exports of Michigan agricultural products. Agricultural exports are a bright spot for Michigan’s economy, but our industry continues to face unprecedented delays and denied bookings on container ships that transport our products across the globe. The Ocean Shipping Reform Act will hold big ocean carrier companies accountable for their unfair practices. We appreciate lawmakers of both parties for coming together to send this common-sense legislation to President Biden’s desk.” #
