The allocation of liner cargoes among selected shipping lines is a century-old practice used by liner companies operating in almost all trades outside the United States. Government imposed cargo preferences, which explicitly promote the use of national flag vessels, is a more recent issue and carriers, shippers and governments have been debating the matter since the resurgence of international trade following World War II. Today, there is an increasing move in the liner trades toward government sponsored cargo sharing and revenue pooling arrangements, in addition to private sector allocation and government imposed preferences. The UN Code of Conduct for Liner Conferences is an international agreement that will affect the economic, trading and shipping philosophies of both the developed and the developing worlds. It represents a momentous effort to achieve universal comity among trading nations and to resolve liner shipping problems which have vexed international shipping for the past 100 years. After certain qualifications are met, the Code will become legally binding on those nations which accept it. It is intended to govern relations between shippers and conferences, between conferences and carriers, and among carriers. However, its provisions are binding only through the vehicle of national law passed by each contracting state.
