- **Government buyer:** Federal Maritime Commission; no sub-agency or purchasing office is identified.
- **Procurement status:** No products or services, quantities, or part numbers are requested.
- **Agreement parties and named companies:** Schuyler Line Navigation Company, LLC and U.S. Ocean, L.L.C.; COSCO Shipping Lines Co., Ltd.; Orient Overseas Container Line Ltd.; OOCL (Europe) Limited; CMA CGM S.A.; APL Co. Pte. Ltd.; American President Lines, LLC; ANL Singapore Pte Ltd; Crowley Caribbean Services, LLC; Crowley Latin America Services, LLC; Emirates Shipping Line FZE; Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd.; Hapag-Lloyd AG; Hoegh Autoliners AS; HMM Company Limited; Independent Container Line, Ltd.; Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd.; Maersk A/S; Hamburg Sud; Matson Navigation Company, Inc.; MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company SA; Mitsui O.S.K.

- **Notable changes:** The Schuyler Line/U.S. Ocean agreement amendment removes joint contracting and procurement authority and updates agreement details, including party addresses and a Department of Defense contract reference. The World Shipping Council Agreement amendment would restate that agreement in response to FMC orders.
