NACD Praises Senator for Raising Concerns Regarding Shipping Industry Issues
ARLINGTON, VA – National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD) President and CEO Eric R. Byer issued the following statement applauding U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) for raising concerns about the country’s ongoing shipping crisis with the Federal Maritime Commission.
“Sen. Capito understands the severity of the burden that U.S. shippers and consumers are shouldering and we commend her for elevating this crisis with the Federal Maritime Commission.
