FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
[Docket No. 24-20]
Notice of Filing of Complaint and Assignment; International
Express Trucking, Inc., Complainant v. COSCO Shipping Lines Co., Ltd.
and COSCO Shipping (North America) Inc., as Agent for COSCO Shipping
Lines Co., Ltd., Respondents
Served: May 10, 2024.
Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal
Maritime Commission (the ``Commission'') by International Express
Trucking, Inc. (the ``Complainant'') against COSCO Shipping Lines Co.,
Ltd. and COSCO Shipping (North America) Inc., as agent for COSCO
Shipping Lines Co., Ltd. (the ``Respondents''). Complainant states that
the Commission has subject matter jurisdiction over the complaint
pursuant to the Shipping Act of 1984, as amended, 46 U.S.C. 40101 et
seq. and
[[Page 42470]]
personal jurisdiction over the Respondent COSCO Shipping Lines Co.,
Ltd. as a common carrier, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(7).
Complainant is a corporation organized and existing under the laws
of the State of Kansas with a principal place of business in Kansas
City, Kansas and a motor carrier registered with the Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration.
Complainant identifies Respondent COSCO Shipping Lines Co., Ltd. as
a corporation organized under the laws of China with a corporate
headquarters in Shanghai, China and as an ocean common carrier that
conducts business in the United States through Respondent COSCO
Shipping (North America) Inc. with its principal place of business
located in Secaucus, New Jersey.
Complainant alleges that Respondents violated 46 U.S.C. 41102(c)
and 46 CFR 545.4 and 545.5. Complainant alleges these violations arose
from the assessment of per diem charges due to circumstances outside of
the control of Complainant, the assessment of detention charges that
did not serve an incentivizing principle, and other acts or omissions
of Respondents related to 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/24-20/">https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/24-20/</a>. This proceeding has been assigned to the Office of
Administrative Law Judges. The initial decision of the presiding judge
shall be issued by May 12, 2025, and the final decision of the
Commission shall be issued by November 26, 2025.
David Eng,
Secretary.
