FMC ASKS FOR PATIENCE DURING TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT UPGRADE

FMC ASKS FOR PATIENCE DURING TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT UPGRADE    From mid-December to mid-January, the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission will be upgrading its telephone equipment in Washington.
   “During this time frame there may be limited periods when certain telephone lines will not be accessible,” said the FMC in a statement to the industry. “We ask for your patience should you experience difficulty in contacting an office or individual by telephone during the cut-over period.”
   The FMC encourages companies to use fax numbers or e-mail to contact the commissioners or staff, if disruptions occur.
