Arlington, VA – Today, Alliance for Chemical Distribution (ACD) President and CEO Eric R. Byer released the following statement applauding the nominations of Laura DiBella and Robert Harvey to serve as commissioners at the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC):

“The FMC has an important mission in upholding the success of the U.S. maritime supply chain. Filling the vacant commissioner seats with experts in ports, trade, and commerce will be invaluable as the chemical distribution industry continues to navigate ongoing disruptions and uncertainties in ocean shipping. ACD congratulates DiBella and Harvey on their nominations, and we look forward to working together to ensure that American businesses are protected from unfair trade and business practices. We urge the U.S. Senate to swiftly advance these nominations and fill the vacant FMC commissioner seats without delay.”
