FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
[DOCKET NO. 24-17]
Samsung Electronics America, Inc., Complainant, v. Orient
Overseas Container Line Limited and OOCL (Europe) Limited, Respondents
and Third-Party Complainants, v. Samsung Electronics Company, Ltd.,
Third-Party Respondent; Notice of Filing of Third-Party Complaint
Served: December 17, 2024.
Notice is given that third-party complaint has been filed with the
Federal Maritime Commission (the ``Commission'') by Orient Overseas
Container Line Limited and OOCL (Europe) Limited (the ``Third-Party
Complainants'') against Samsung Electronics Company, Ltd. (the ``Third-
Party Respondent''). Third-Party Complainants state 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 personal
jurisdiction over Third-Party Respondent as a signatory to the service
contracts that gave rise to the claims asserted by Samsung Electronics
America, Inc. (the ``Complainant'') in this proceeding and within which
it was designated as the shipper.
Third-Party Complainant Orient Overseas Container Line Limited is a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of Hong Kong engaged
in business as an ocean common carrier with a principal place of
business in Wanchai, Hong Kong.
Third-Party Complainant OOCL (Europe) Limited is a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the United Kingdom engaged in
business as an ocean common carrier with a principal place of business
in Levington Suffolk, United Kingdom.
Third-Party Complainants identify Third-Party Respondent as a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of South Korea
engaged in the global electronics business with a principal place of
business in Suwon, South Korea.
Third-Party Complainants allege that Third-Party Respondent
violated 46 U.S.C. 41102(a). Third-Party Complainants allege this
violation arose due to Third-Party Respondent's failure to exercise
control over, and/or grant of permission to, its affiliate,
Complainant, to engage in unjust or unfair devices or means to obtain
or attempt to obtain ocean transportation for property at less than the
rates or charges that would otherwise apply by demanding refunds and
waivers of future charges, and bringing legal proceedings against ocean
carriers.
An answer to the third-party complaint must be filed with the
Commission within 25 days after the date of service.
The full text of the third-party complaint can be found in the
Commission's electronic Reading Room at <a href="https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/24-17/">https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/24-17/</a>. The initial decision of the presiding
judge shall be issued by March 28, 2025, and the final decision of the
Commission shall be issued by October 14, 2025.
David Eng,
Secretary.
