That vessel was owned and operated by a participant in the MARAD MSP Fleet and the vessel appears to have been receiving a retainer from MARAD in exchange for availability during times of need. See Maritime Security Program | MARAD, (https://www.maritime.dot.gov/nationalsecurity/strategic-sealift/maritimesecurity-program-msp) (last visited November 20, 2024). Spain also appears to have denied entry to the Maersk Seletar, another MSP participant vessel, in early November.2 Though not a participant in the MSP, another vessel appears to have been refused docking privileges in May. Spain Denies Port of Call to Ship Carrying Arms to Israel, The Guardian, May 16, 2024 (available at https://www.theguardian.com/world/ article/2024/may/16/spain-denies-portof-call-to-ship-carrying-arms-to-israel) (last accessed November 20, 2024). MARAD’s MSP maintains a fleet of commercially viable, militarily useful merchant ships active in international trade. The MSP fleet is available to support U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) sustainment sealift requirements during times of conflict or in other national emergencies. The program also provides DoD access to MSP participants’ global intermodal transportation network of terminals, facilities, logistic management services, and U.S. citizen merchant mariners. The Commission’s statutory purposes include ensuring an efficient, competitive, and economical transportation system in the United States, encouraging the development of an economically sound and efficient liner fleet capable of meeting national security needs and supporting commerce, and promoting the growth and development of United States exports through competitive and efficient carriage of goods by water. 46 U.S.C. 40101. A law or policy by a foreign government that refuses entry to vessels documented under the laws of the United States is inconsistent with the Commission’s goal of ensuring access to and supporting the complex and interdependent system for the common carriage of goods by water in foreign commerce. The Commission has therefore determined that it will investigate the apparent decision by Spain to deny entry to vessels participating in MARAD’s MSP, as well as its apparent decision to deny entry to other vessels. At this initial stage of the investigation, the Commission will focus on providing a route for interested parties, including the Government of Spain and common carriers that have been denied entry into Spanish ports, to provide information, perspectives, and proposed solutions. III. Investigation and Initial Request for Comments The Commission has determined that the above situation meets the threshold requirements for consideration under the relevant statutory and regulatory authority. See 46 U.S.C. 42101; 46 CFR part 550. The Commission therefore initiates an investigation into whether the situation has created conditions that are unfavorable to shipping in foreign trade, whether in a particular trade or on a particular route or in commerce generally. See 46 U.S.C. 42101(a); 46 CFR 550.301. To that end, the Commission has designated the General Counsel to lead an investigation into the conditions and to prepare a report on the investigation’s findings and recommendations for Commission consideration. The Commission has further determined to ask interested persons to submit written comments containing arguments, experiences, and/ or data relevant to denials of entry into Spanish ports. In particular, the Commission seeks information about when this has occurred, the vessels that have been denied entry, and any reason or reasons given for the denial. The Commission’s jurisdiction under 46 U.S.C. 42101 is broad, and the agency welcomes comments not only from the Government of Spain, but also from container shipping interests, vessel owners, individuals and groups with relevant information on commercial considerations, and anyone else with relevant information or perspectives on this matter. As the Commission proceeds with this investigation, it may determine to request additional comment or gather information through other means as authorized under 46 U.S.C. 40104 and 42104, and 46 CFR part 550. By the Commission. David Eng, Secretary.
