| (1) Mandatory Use of Taiwan Flag Vessels | - In execution of Purchase & Sales Agreement (PSA) with governmental agencies, by the law identified in the extreme right column, the use of Taiwan Flag Carriers (TFCs) is necessary for more than 50% in value or quantity of the imported goods. While plural TFCs are available for container cargoes, as it stands, there are no TFCs that carry extra large cargoes that won't fit conventional containers. Therefore, incorporation of this law into PSA results in default on the contract. | - It is requested that GOT takes step to amend the law: "excepting transport by conventional vessels, on imported cargoes into Taiwan in quantity or in value of more than 50%..." to exclude "transport by conventional vessels" from the 50% provisions. | - Measures on Ocean Transport of Materials and Machineries and Equipment, Imported by Governmental and Public Organisations (Promulgated on 11 January 2005: Mingguo Year 94) (Measures 020111Mingguo Year 94) |
