Payment of Claims Under Shipping and Container Agreements

The Military Sealift Command (MSC) contended that the 3-year statute of limitations in Section 322 of the Transportation Act of 1940, as amended, does not apply to payment of claims under MSC shipping and container agreements. The 3-year statute of limitations does apply to MSC shipping and container agreements because an amendment to Section 322 expanded it to bring all carriers and all contractual arrangements under the purview of Section 322.
