FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
[Docket No. 25-01]
20230930-DK-Butterfly-1, INC., Complainant v. BAL Container Line
Co., Limited, Respondent. Notice of Filing of Complaint and Assignment
Served: January 8, 2025.
Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal
Maritime Commission (the ``Commission'') by 20230930-DK-Butterfly-1,
Inc. (the ``Complainant'') against BAL Container Line Co., Limited (the
``Respondent''). 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 personal jurisdiction
over Respondent as an ocean common carrier, as defined in 46 U.S.C.
40102(18).
Complainant is a corporation existing under the laws of New York
with a mailing address in Union, New Jersey, that was formerly known as
Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc.
Complainant identifies Respondent as a company existing under the
laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's
Republic of China with its principal place of business located in
Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.
Complainant alleges that Respondent violated 46 U.S.C. 41102(c) and
41104(a)(10), and 46 CFR 545.5. Complainant alleges these violations
arose from the assessment of detention and demurrage charges during
periods of time in which the charges were not just or reasonable
because of circumstances outside the control of Complainant and its
agents and service providers, and the acts or omissions of Respondent
that led to the assessment of such 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/25-01/">https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/25-01/</a>. This proceeding has been assigned to the Office of
Administrative Law Judges.
