New York,, NY, United States

The Liberian Shipowners Council was formed in 1974 as a not for profit New York Corporation. Its founding members came from different maritime centers located around the globe, but all had the common denominator of operating ships of all types under the Liberian flag. They also had a desire that the Liberian Maritime Program should represent the highest standards of safety and professionalism. From the outset the LSC worked closely with the ship register to promote more comprehensive vessel inspections, higher technical standards, and industry safety programs. In the late 1970's the LSC enhanced its independence with the establishment of a separate Secretariat office in New York City and the hiring of a full time General Secretary. The Organization grew in numbers and influence during the 1980's and 1990's during which time it came to represent the solitary voice of open registry owners. As a shipowners association the LSC obtained eligibility to join the International Chamber of Shipping and the International Shipping Federation. Both these organizations represent the voice of the maritime industry on technical as well as labor matters at the IMO. Shortly after LSC's formation it joined both Associations and today continues to be one of their largest and most active supporters. During its twenty-seven years of activity the LSC has been a strong advocate for the IMO and the open registry system. It has led the way in the struggle against organizations like the ITF and UNCTAD who wish to eliminate this choice for shipowners. Today the LSC continues to promote the highest technological and safety standards at IMO and in the Liberian Flag, while opposing efforts to diminish the ability of shipowners to operate their ships in the most advantageous economic environment.

Washington, DC, United States

The World Shipping Council is a Washington, D.C.-based trade association representing more than forty liner shipping companies serving America's international trade. Council members include the largest container lines in the world as well as smaller niche carriers, and carriers providing roll-on/roll-off and heavy-lift services. In addition to ocean transportation, they provide a wide range of intermodal and logistics services to American importers and exporters. The Council's goal is to provide a coordinated voice for the liner shipping industry in its work with policymakers and other industry groups interested in international transportation issues, including: maritime security, regulatory policy, tax issues, safety, the environment, harbor dredging and upgrading the infrastructure needed to handle America's booming trade. Partners in America's Trade The liner shipping industry is a vital, contributing partner in America's foreign trade and economic growth. Over the past ten years, U.S. international trade in goods has doubled and rapid growth is expected in the next decade as well. Last year, U.S. oceanborne trade amounted to more than $700 billion. Liner shipping, with its network of vessels, containers, port terminals and information systems, handled two-thirds of that trade and did so smoothly, efficiently and at rates lower than those fifteen years ago. These low rates enhance the competitiveness of U.S. products in world markets and bring a variety of quality goods to our homes at low cost. Your VCR was carried from Hong Kong for about one dollar; ocean shipping services from Asia added about 40 cents to the price of the sneakers you're wearing; and it cost three cents to put that bottle of German beer in your refrigerator. The liner shipping industry is a constant innovator- linking American businesses directly and efficiently with their customers around the world on a door-to-door basis. The industry is also an essential investor in the transportation system that carries the United States' international commerce. Liner carriers have invested over $150 billion in transportation assets currently in service worldwide and, if trade projections are accurate, they will need to invest billions of dollars more in ships and equipment to service trade growth over the next ten years. With confidence in how public policy will affect our industry, members of the World Shipping Council can build on this partnership in serving America's trade and keeping the country's economy strong and growing.
