Notice of Filing of Complaint and Assignment

    Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal 
Maritime Commission (the ``Commission'') by FormuKleen, Inc. (the 
``Complainant'') against Top Shipping Systems, Corp. (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 a non-vessel-operating common carrier and ocean 
freight forwarder, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102 (17) and (19), and as 
a person involved in the oceanborne foreign commerce of the United 
States under 46 U.S.C. subtitle IV.

    Complainant is a shipper with a principal place of business in Boca 
Raton, Florida.
    Complainant identifies Respondent as a corporation with its 
principal place of business in Miami, Florida.
    Complainant alleges that Respondent violated 46 U.S.C. 41102(c) and 
(d)(2)(B); 41104(a)(4)(E) and (a)(10); and 46 CFR 515.32. Complainant 
alleges these violations arose from the diversion of containers to the 
Respondent's facility and subsequent retention of those containers 
until unrelated charges were paid, and other acts or omissions by 
Respondent.
    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/25-08/">https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/25-08/</a>. This proceeding has been assigned to the Office of 
Administrative Law Judges. The initial decision of the presiding judge 
shall be issued by June 17, 2026, and the final decision of the 
Commission shall be issued by December 31, 2026.
