Unfinished Shipping Business Faces WSA Wind-Down
NEA Washington Correspondent Peter Edson reports that the War Shipping Administration will furl its operation on Sept. 1, end all unfinished business by Dec. 31, and hand a fleet of several thousand vessels to private operators or the Treasury. The move follows wartime nationalization, with private lines cautious due to higher operating costs and rates frozen by OPA, while rail rates undercut coastwise shipping. The ICC will hold hearings starting Sept. 30 to review domestic land and water carrier rates, potentially reshaping postwar coastwise shipping.
