IKhomishini yaseLwandle yaseMbuthweni (FMC)

I-Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) yi-arhente karhulumente yase-US ezimeleyo eyasekwa ngo-1961, enoxanduva lokulawula urhwebo lwangaphandle oluselwandle ukuqinisekisa ukhuphiswano kunye nenkqubo yokuthutha ulwandle yehlabathi jikelele. I-FMC yongamela zombini iiVessel Operating Common Carriers (VOCCs) kunye neNon-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (NVOCCs) ukukhusela iinqanawa zase-US zikawonke-wonke, abathumeli ngaphandle, abarhwebi kumazwe angaphandle, kunye nabathengi kwizenzo ezingalunganga.

I-FMC iphinda iphonononge kwaye ibeke iliso kwizivumelwano phakathi kwabathwali abaqhelekileyo baselwandle kunye nabaqhubi beetheminali zaselwandle, iqinisekisa ukuba amaxabiso erhafu apapashiwe kwaye ayafikeleleka kuluntu, kwaye inceda ekusombululeni iingxabano ngenqanawa. Ngaphezu koko, i-FMC iphanda izikhalazo malunga neereyithi kunye nezenzo eziphula uMthetho wokuThuthwa kweeNqanawa we-1984, igcina izivumelwano zenkonzo ziyimfihlo, kwaye iqinisekisa uxanduva lwemali yeendlela zokuhamba ngenqanawa kumabango.
