Shippers and Port States between US Unilateralism and Extraterritoriality
Bibliographic record
Abstract
May the individual carrier have the state enforce access to foreign ports unilaterally? Is unilateral retaliation under the purview of the US Federal Maritime Commission an exercise of extraterritoriality, and where does that leave port state authority? First, the article will establish the authority vested in the US Federal Maritime Commission to implement and enforce US ships’ access to ports abroad. Secondly, drawing on US unilateral retaliation against Japan over access to ports, resolved diplomatically in 1997, the article will discuss US unilateralism in shipping. Thirdly, the article will discuss the shape of extraterritoriality, and implications for port state authority. The article builds on and intervenes in literature on the role of Section 301 unilateralism and liberalization of maritime transport in US and in international trade law,([ ]) combined with literature on extraterritoriality in international private law, and on port states in maritime law.([ ]) The legal-empirical analysis fills a gap in scholarship between the fields of international trade law, international private law, and maritime law, and contributes to the existing conceptual framework and literature by introducing “constructive extraterritoriality”. This is particularly important at this time because the world is witnessing a trade war that sees US unilateralism front and center and simultaneously, global governance is seeing an increase in extraterritorial regulations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
