The FMC denied that application, saying
it lacked jurisdiction to approve a merger
that had not yet taken place.
Terminal Agreement Approved
Separately, the FMC allowed the East
Coast Terminal Agreement between ports
in Virginia and Georgia to go forward.
The two ports were seeking approval to
discuss sharing of operational information and other mutual activities, but not
the rates they charge to ocean carriers or
terminal operators.
There also were size-related developments in the chassis business, though on
a smaller scale.
FlexiVan Leasing and Direct ChassisLink Inc. announced what they called the
Asset Sharing Program - Northeast, or
ASPN, effective June 1, uniting two of the
three largest intermodal equipment providers in an effort to stimulate improved
equipment utilization on the New York and
New Jersey docks.
The announcement created a new
chassis pool in the region after multiple
years of efforts by port interests to create
such a pool. TRAC Intermodal, the largest chassis provider in the area, is not a
participant in the new venture.
The two leasing companies will
manage rates and other functions independently, similar to the "pool of pools"
approach used in Southern California that
includes all three companies, where local
officials have lauded that system as a
significant success.
