FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
[Docket No. 24-07]
Notice of Filing of Complaint and Assignment; Impact Products,
LLC and Safety Zone, LLC, Complainants, v. CMA CGM S.A., Respondent
Served: February 14, 2024.
Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal
Maritime Commission (the ``Commission'') by Impact Products, LLC and
Safety Zone, LLC (the ``Complainants'') against CMA CGM S.A. (the
``Respondent''). Complainants state that the Commission has
jurisdiction over the complaint pursuant to 46 U.S.C. 41301 through
41309 and personal jurisdiction over the Respondent as an ocean common
carrier, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(18), that has entered into a
service contract, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(21), with the
Complainants.
Complainant Impact Products, LLC is a corporation located in
Toledo, Ohio. Complainant Safety Zone, LLC is a corporation located in
Guilford, Connecticut. Complainants are shippers as this term is
defined under 46 U.S.C. 40102(23).
Complainants identify Respondent as a company existing under the
laws of France with its principal place of business in Marseilles,
France and as a global ocean carrier.
Complainants allege that Respondent violated 46 U.S.C. 41102(c) and
41104(a)(10) and 46 CFR 545.5. Complainants allege these violations
arose from assessment of demurrage, detention, per diem, and yard
storage charges during periods of time in which the charges were not
just or reasonable because of circumstances outside the control of the
Complainants and its agents and service providers, and from the acts or
omissions of the Respondent that led to the assessment of these
charges.
An answer to the complaint must be filed with the Commission within
25 days after the date of service.
The full text of the complaint can be found in the Commission's
electronic Reading Room at <a href="https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/24-07/">https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/24-07/</a>. This proceeding has been assigned to the Office of
Administrative Law Judges. The initial decision of the presiding judge
shall be issued by February 14, 2025, and the final decision of the
Commission shall be issued by August 29, 2025.
David Eng,
Secretary.
