NACD Joins Chemical Executives Association in Calling for Hearing on Supply Chain Disruptions
ARLINGTON, VA – The National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD) has signed on to a letter by the Council of Chemical Association Executives calling for a joint hearing by the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) and Surface Transportation Board (STB) to discuss escalating chemical supply chain disruptions.
NACD reports that over the past year, increasing port and rail congestion has led to product delays, rising costs and inventory stock-outs that have been felt along all supply chains. Disruptions in the chemical supply chain have broad consequences. As many chemical products are no longer manufactured in the United States, the country relies on these imported shipments to function.
