But first, our TOP THREE STORIES OF THE WEEK!
1 - A United States Federal Government shutdown has been averted... again... for now... again... It looks like at least the U.S. Department of Transportation's new date for the next shutdown discussion is January 19, 2024.
2- We're still watching the FMC's open rulemakings - no new public movement other than the FMC Chairman Daniel Maffei met with the two congressmen who submitted a comment for the D&D rulemaking.
3 - The Canal de Panamá will restrict vessel transits to 18 by Feb 1, 2024 (down from a typical 36 on a good day). One owner just paid $4M to skip the line.
