From the supplier: Shipping lines under the US flag have to contend with high labor costs, outdated crewing laws, strict environmental and safety regulations, and restrictive laws regarding procurement of modern ships and repair services from foreign yards. These carriers can not compete with other lines through price and are thus forced to offer better services through updated technology. However, the top two US-flag lines American President Lines Inc and Sea-Land Corp, are reconsidering their positions due to the decline in government subsidies and restrictive regulations.
