This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The detail of what the Competition and Markets Authority investigates is an operational matter for the CMA, and the UK wouldn't be able to unilaterally regulate an international industry.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to commission a review of competition in the shipping industry.
