Customs and Border Protection alleges that shippers are violating law that requires goods shipped between U.S. ports be transported on U.S.-owned ships.
“We’re talking about feeding and employing Americans, right now," said Gavin Gibbons, spokesman for the Virginia-based National Fisheries Institute.
U.S. Customs filed court papers in early October that stated the agency agrees with the shippers in desiring a quick resolution to the case. However, the schedule it has proposed in court for resolving the case would still take several weeks. The dispute is happening at a bad time for the seafood industry because the business is currently making preparations for the busy Lenten season, said Michael Alexander, president of King and Price, a Georgia company that makes seafood for the food service industry. Many Christians substitute red meat for fish during Lent, and pollock is in higher demand during that part of the year.
