The FMC said Chinese and European Union regulators and the issues they would discuss would include carrier alliances, vessel sharing agreements and the impact of operational agreements on international trade.
"We welcome the exchange of views with our regulatory counterparts. The shipping industry is dynamic as evidenced by the changing nature of agreements,” said Mario Cordero, chairman of the FMC.
“The effects of these trends will have global implications that demand an international understanding of our changing industry.
