Liner Shipping Regulation in North America: A Canadian Perspective

This paper examines the harmonisation of liner shipping regulation between Canada and the United States (US), a matter of significance given the volume of trans-border trade in North American/Rest of the World liner trade. The paper addresses three questions: (1) What are the gaps in liner regulation between the two countries? (2) Are these gaps significant in terms of impact? (3) Will the proposed Canadian amendments bring greater harmony to the regulation of liner shipping in North America? The conclusion reached is that soft harmonisation has not quite been achieved.
